A few fun projects I’ve worked on over the years.
I’ve spent my entire career in the web development space, building e-commerce sites, consumer sentiment applications, and projects for the architectural and design, publishing, agricultural, and telecommunications industries. Here are a few of my favorites.
TerraTime
This is a timezone app that I built using AI. It runs in the Mac menubar, and you can easily see the current time in many cities around the globe.

Control My Christmas Tree
File this one under bad ideas. In December, 2024 built a Christmas tree app that anybody in the world could use via their phone. And they did, turning our family tree on and off 13,414 times over a one week period. My wife was not amused, but the kids loved it.

EmailReputationAPI
I launched EmailReputationAPI in response to the rampant abuse I've witnessed over the years with regards to bots, scammers, and credit card fraudsters signing up to legitimate online services using anonymized and illegitimate personal email accounts.

BlogIgnite
BlogIgnite is an AI-driven content development tool for technology marketers. Given a topic the service will generate a blog post alongside a title, SEO meta details, and even a list of related topics. I built this in 2023 as an early prototype demonstrating how quickly SaaS MVPs can be built with AI. I do not maintain the code these days, so if you want to buy it let me know.

Gilmore Math Games
This is a fun little math game I built with my kids. Used the Grimoire GPT as a coding assistant, went from idea to live online in less than 20 minutes.

Bravo 11 DoD Hackathon
In 2024 I participated in a Department of Defense hackathon with several members of the DreamFactory team and a few other very talented individuals. I can't get into details other than to say we built an AI-powered after-action report prototype for TAK (Tactical Assault Kit).

Nomorobo
Nomorobo was one of the most meaningful projects I've ever worked on. It's an award-winning robocall blocking service that has at last checked stopped almost 4 billion (with a b) robocallers.

Fondriest
At environmental products and services company Fondriest I led the development, migration, and launch of a multi-million dollar, 10,000+ product Magento-powered e-commerce store, going from start to completion in 67 days. It was terrifying and fun at the same time.
