I like the kind of problems you can build your way out of.
Apps, browser extensions, an iOS game, books, 3D prints, short videos, and open-source AI skills — different shapes, same two reasons: someone's day gets a little easier, and I learn something I couldn't have learned any other way. Half of what's here exists because I wanted to know if I could build it.
Some of it is shipped. Some of it is mid-build. All of it is real work, shown as-is.
- iOS, in App Store review — a ten-app portfolio of small, focused utility apps (resellers, makers, pros, hobbyists), plus a memory-palace trainer and a living record of your home. All SwiftUI, all local-first.
- Apps & web — NeoBoard Compass, a study companion for neonatal-perinatal board prep
live. - Extensions — Readable Capture PDF is on the Chrome Web Store — turn any part of a page into a clean, searchable PDF.
- AI skills for Claude agents — open-source skills that hand agents new capabilities, in
claude-skills. - Also on the shelf — a Unity game in progress, books on Amazon, functional 3D prints (free to download), and short videos on using AI to do real work.
| Repo | What it does |
|---|---|
claude-skills | Open-source skills for Claude agents. |
live-cursors | Realtime multiplayer cursors and presence over WebSockets. |
TowerGuard | A Unity tower-defense game for iOS. |
personal-api | My own data API — now-playing, posts, projects — and a frontend that reads it. |
runbook-as-code | Operational runbooks defined in YAML — structured, checkable, rendered to Markdown. |
audit-normalizer | Pulls audit logs from different systems into one common shape. |
— extensions, linters, scaffolds, games, and a few odd experiments. The shipped-product work lives in private repos until launch.
