Side Projects
Things I've built on nights and weekends, mostly because I wanted them to exist.

TraderBee
New
Details
The sweet way to swap. Trade the stuff you don't use anymore directly with people in your community. No selling, no shipping, no hassle. List an item, say what you're looking for, and smart matching finds trades based on value, interests and location. Chat in the app, pick a safe public spot, meet up, and both walk away happy. Live in San Diego County now, with more areas coming.

Side Project
Speech EZ
Details
This app was made to help kids (or anyone) who has trouble speaking to have an easy way to communicate. We have a son who is speech delayed, in speech therapy, and we wanted to make a way for him to simply tap to tell us what he is thinking and what he needs or wants. Version 2.0 added a Sentence Builder, so tapping a few tiles turns into "I want milk." Excited to share it in case it can help others as well.

Side Project
Bible × History
New
Details
Where scripture meets the historical record. A curated timeline that lines up biblical events with archaeological discoveries, inscriptions, and documents, from the Flood through the Early Church. Events are color coded so you can see at a glance what's biblical, what's historical, and where the two corroborate each other, with artifacts like the Merneptah Stele and the Pilate Stone along the way.

Mockie
New
Details
Drop in a screenshot or screen recording and get back a framed PNG or GIF with a transparent background. Phone, tablet, browser, and laptop frames, with controls for bezel, corner radius, 3D tilt, and shadow. Everything runs locally in your browser, so nothing ever gets uploaded. Free, no sign up. I built it because I kept needing exactly this for App Store listings and this very site.

80's Match
Details
Rad vibes only. A fast-paced match-3 puzzle game bursting with neon cassette tapes, roller skates, boomboxes, and thumping synth beats. Pick your track and the gameplay syncs to the music, chain combos, grab power-ups, and collect trophies on your way to a high score. Basically the raddest decade ever, in your pocket.

Side Project
Circle o Fifths
Details
Grab your guitar or sit down at the piano, and hear and learn the circle of fifths! Find the chords in any key, see the scales to solo over them, and write your own songs. The Scales tab lays any scale out on the fretboard or keyboard, color coded by degree, with CAGED shapes, full-neck patterns, and a library of ready-made licks. A handy practice and theory tool that can be a game changer.

Side Project
Steelcore
Details
eCommerce company that specializes in locking security straps. When they came to me they had a Shopify site that customers weren't able to buy from. I got the site working for purchases, and customized a theme for them to match their brand. This included updating their logo, creating a new home page, and turning on and customizing the ecommerce pieces of the site. I learned quite a bit about ecommerce, Shopify, and their Liquid language.
