I make software people are proud to use. Apps, tools, and systems made in Austin, Texas.

Latest release: Cordia

Approach

Most problems are not new. The tools finally are.

I start with the business, not the technology. Who it is for, what the problem costs them, and what they would pay to have it gone. Then I build the smallest thing that solves it well, and I keep running it.

I use AI wherever it earns its place, and nowhere else.

Work with me

A few times a year I take on a problem outside my own products, when it is interesting and the fit is obvious.

ProductsAn app or platform, from the first sketch to launch and the months after. Built to the standard of my own.Months
Tools and systemsThe internal tool, automation, or script that removes a problem your team has quietly learned to live with.Weeks
DirectionA clear plan before anything gets built. What to make, who it is for, what it is worth, and what to leave out.Days

It tends to go well when the problem costs you real money or time, and when you care how the result feels, not only that it works.
