Client Stories
Broadcasting Live Fun Run Results
For a non-profit charity race, runners were split into heats and teams. Admins updated times via phone, with a real-time leaderboard on the big screen.
Beating the Tee Time Rush
Golfers at this country club competed over time slots by waking up early and spamming refresh, seeing who could click first. This bot won.
Tracking 80+ Asian Stocks Across Multiple Platforms
A corporate executive needed a consolidated way to monitor financial data for many stocks that weren't covered by Google/Yahoo Finance.
Secretly Logging Card Games
Taking notes at a friendly poker home game can draw unwanted attention. This app disguises itself as iPhone Messages, letting you write down critical hand details in plain sight, and export the data later.
Making Smooth Playlists in a Pinch
For a non-DJ in a pinch, creating seamless music mixes meant hours adjusting crossfades by hand. This desktop app does it automatically.
Modernizing Poker Coaching
Complex analytics lived in clunky Excel files that students could reverse-engineer. Migrated to a secure web app with interactive charts to track progress across sessions.
Working Principles
Functionality First
I prioritize well-established, reliable technology. Security and modularity are built in from the start, not afterthoughts.
Minimal Vendor Lock-in
I architect systems that you can run anywhere. Your project shouldn't be tied to a single provider's pricing, policies, or long-term viability.
Helpful Documentation
You don't just get source code. I provide clear documentation covering setup, usage, and ongoing maintenance, so the project can live long after handoff.
Clear Communication
You'll know the full cost and scope before we start, with milestones and updates along the way. Having been on both sides of development contracts, I appreciate full transparency.
Logistics & Availability
Available for virtual meetings, or in-person consultations in New Jersey / NYC.
