Real products, honestly labeled. Live and in real use, no mockups in this list.
A chores-to-rewards app for families that holds up to real kids and real weeks. A no-signup demo, live cross-device updates, and a tight chore-to-reward loop that survived every feature added around it without losing the thread.
my role // Built and shipped end to end; live in daily family use.
Illustrated children's books with one locked ink-and-wash look and a quality bar that enforces itself: pages that miss it are regenerated before they reach you. The hardcover pipeline produces real, print-ready files in production, not mockups.
my role // Built and shipped end to end; live, with a self-correcting illustration pipeline and a real hardcover print path.
An open mind that thinks in public, one thought at a time, in search of a worthwhile purpose. It shows all of its work, the question it sets itself, the reasoning, and what each thought costs to the cent, and it runs on a transparent treasury: donations and a small monthly seed keep it awake, and when the funds run low it rests until a gift wakes it again.
my role // Conceived, built, and shipped end to end; live and thinking in public, funded by donation.
A personal investing tool I run on my own money: the same honest, numbers-over-noise discipline I sell, turned on my own bank account in public. You hand it spare cash and it answers the only question that matters, "now what?", with a sized, numbered plan and a plain reason for every move: a boring, diversified core for the long haul, plus a bounded aggressive sleeve, hard-capped and never leveraged, that comes as a real brief with a thesis, conviction, and the downside spelled out for each name. Named for Ladon, the dragon that never slept while it guarded the golden apples: one risk-guard chokepoint, unit-tested, sits between you and every trade and lets nothing past that could cost you more than you have, long-only and cash-only, no margin, no leverage. It advises first and I act on it, putting my own money where my mouth is, so the worst case is your money falling in value and you can never owe a cent.

Not taking on new clients right now, focused on the work in front of me. The best way to connect is LinkedIn, or a warm introduction from someone I already work with.
