Websites and apps, built with Claude Code.
Most of my career has been building things people walk into. These days I also build the screens around them: websites for small businesses, and the apps an event runs on. I bring the brief, the taste and the testing on real devices. Claude Code writes the code with me.
Four sites, one browser. Click a tab, drag the amber line to see the before, and scroll inside the window. On a phone, press and hold to scroll the site.
My sister's energy healing practice and shop. The ask: a site that feels as calm as a session with her, booking that just works, and one she can keep editing herself.
The experiences company I produced Earls' Japan trip with. This one I didn't code. I led the overhaul: we moved it off Shopify, I set the creative direction and reshaped the site around the company's story, then found a freelance developer to build it and ran the project.
This site. It used to be Squarespace with four background videos: slow to open on a phone and hard to lay out the way I wanted. Now it's built by hand, every page has its own moment, and it shows up in about a second on a phone.
My cousin's family dental office in Markham. The ask: a calling card to be proud of, one that brings in new patients. Ontario's rules for dental advertising shaped every line: no reviews, no superlatives, no offers.
Apps I've built for RGXM's activations. They run on iPads and phones at the venue, so they have to keep working when the Wi-Fi doesn't.
The ask. Listening stations for an exhibit: guests put on headphones, tap play and hear the story.
What I built. An iPad app that plays with the Wi-Fi off, a staff menu behind a code, and a dashboard that counts every play. Four iPads, three stations, four headsets each.
How it went. 647 plays over the weekend, and 82% of them were heard to the end.
Press play. No sound here, just the idea.
The ask. Timed entry for a brand activation in December: book a slot online, walk up if there's room, check in at the gate.
What I built. Booking with QR check-in on an iPad at the gate, a digital walk-up line, texts and emails to guests, and a report for the client afterwards. It held when 50 people tried to book the same slot at once.
What the client gets. A live report that saves as a PDF or a spreadsheet: sign-ups and who came, the show-up rate and no-shows, walk-ups and how long they waited, the busiest hour, where bookings came from, and how many opted in to hear from the brand.
How it went. The show is 3 and 4 December. Ask me after.
Open the link: when, where, and one button to reserve your tap.
Things I build for myself, because I want them to exist. Pick one.
A fear and greed gauge for the Pokémon card market, read the way traders read the stock market. It rebuilds itself every morning from public price data, for me and a few friends who collect.
Three markets, a reading from 0 to 100 for each, and what history says tends to come next. Leads, not advice.
The itch. The voice typing app I used put a weekly cap on its free plan.
What I built. My own. Hold a key, talk, let go, and the words land wherever the cursor is. It runs on my own computer, so nothing I say leaves the room.
Now. One version on my PC, a twin on my MacBook.
The itch. My dad's theory: when the forecast turns bad, golfers cancel and good tee times open up.
What I built. A lookout on the forecast. When the weather turns, it messages us, and it nudges us just before new tee times are released.
The rule. It never books. We do that ourselves.
Now. Resting until the season starts in April.
The itch. Each invoice took about twenty minutes by hand.
What I built. I ask for a draft, and my records become an invoice in my accounting app.
The rule. It drafts. I review it and press send.
The itch. Notes, to-dos and numbers scattered across three computers.
What I built. One private dashboard for my to-do list, my projects and my money, with a version for my phone.
Where it lives. On a laptop I won in a contest, now my always-on home server. It checks its own health every five minutes and messages me if something is off.
I still produce events, and building the tools around them is the same job: listen to the ask, sweat the details, and test it on the real thing before the doors open.
