I build digital platforms for the unglamorous processes a business actually runs on. Increasingly that means AI platforms and agents: systems that do the work rather than describe it.

Selected work

FarmGuard

Field data capture for farm insurance
Role Architected and directed Type Web and mobile field tool Stack Next.js · React · Supabase Postgres + Auth (TOTP MFA) · Mapbox GL + Esri imagery · Cloudflare R2 · Vercel

Agents who write farm policies collect property details across paper forms, phone calls, and loose photos, then rekey all of it later. FarmGuard captures the entire property record in one guided pass, in the field, including satellite parcel tracing and structure inventory. Submissions come back faster, better organized, and more accurate than the process it replaced.

LeadLock

AI inbound call handling
Role Architected and directed Type Web app platform Stack Next.js · React · Tailwind · Supabase Postgres (Drizzle) · Supabase Auth · Twilio Voice + SMS · Vercel AI / voice Claude Sonnet 4.6 conversation engine · Deepgram nova-2-phonecall transcription Live leadlock.xyz

For a trades business, a missed call is a lost job, and the calls come in while everyone is already working. LeadLock answers and qualifies inbound calls with AI, captures the lead, and routes it where it needs to go instead of letting it fall into a voicemail box nobody checks. The result is lead flow that holds up, and revenue that would otherwise walk.

OrgVue

Employee directory and live org chart
Role Architected and directed Type Internal web app Stack Details pending

An agency's staff information usually lives in a spreadsheet nobody trusts and an org chart nobody has updated in two years. OrgVue keeps people, titles, departments, reporting lines, and contact details in one place, switchable between a sortable directory and a live org chart. Both views export, so the chart people keep asking for is a click away instead of an afternoon in a diagramming tool.

How I work

Most of my work starts the same way. Someone is running a critical process on spreadsheets, email threads, and memory. I find where the time goes, decide what the product should be, and direct it end to end until it is live and people are using it.

Product ownership
Scoping, sequencing, and deciding what ships. The judgment calls, not just the tickets.
AI systems
Agents that carry out real tasks against real systems, with guardrails that make them trustworthy.
Full stack delivery
Interface through backend to infrastructure, so there is no handoff gap.
Shipping
Live products with real users. LeadLock is up right now.
