What I'm
working on.

Building, shipping, and iterating — usually all at once. A snapshot of where things stand.

→ Building Now

  • 01

    EarlyDays.app ↗

    A voice-first parenting journal — tap and talk, get a written, searchable record of the early weeks. Built for exhausted, one-handed new parents. In active use since my daughter arrived. Read the build post.

  • 02

    AI at the Intersection of Gov & Civic Tech

    MCP servers for USWDS, SNAP policy navigation, and Amtrak routes. Agentic benefits navigators. A policy rules engine. Fine-tuned local models for government use cases. Small experiments that compound.

  • 03

    Email Bits ↗

    Beautiful HTML email designs made easy — think CodePen, but for emails. Building and iterating on the product.

  • 04

    Snap Sentiment ↗

    Automated & verified Stripe reviews for your business. Still building.

  • 05

    Building a Portfolio Career

    Fractional staff software engineering alongside indie products — multiple revenue streams, one direction. The long game.

    GiantCheck ↗

    Design and print full-size ceremonial checks for banquets, fundraisers, and big-reveal moments. A speed experiment — repo started July 11th, live with Stripe payments about two weeks later. Read the build post.

    The LLM Sorting Hat 🎩

    A magical quiz that sorts you into a frontier language model — Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama, or Grok. Five houses, AI-generated crests, a real sorting hat video, and a downloadable result card. Because the web should still be fun.

    Astro Gov USWDS Starter Template

    Production-ready government website starter. USWDS 3.x, Section 508, bilingual routing out of the box. The starter I wish existed when I was at the VA.

  • —

    Astro Skeuomorphism Theme

    Open source. Tactile, retro-inspired UI — buttons that look pressable, glass cards, micro-interactions. A deliberate break from flat design.

  • —

    Synthetic Gov Benefits Data Tool

    Generates synthetic test cases to evaluate LLM reasoning on government benefits policy. Because accuracy has real consequences here.

  • —

    Gen AI Startup Astro Theme

    Free open source Astro theme for AI/GenAI startups. Dark mode, pricing tables, fully responsive.
