Dog Genome is a puppy breeding sim I designed, built, and shipped by myself: a real dominant and recessive genetics model, 800 collectible looks, 13 competitions across 7 tiers, and a DNA lab, all running fully offline with no ads and no tracking.

Many people dabble in GenAI without knowing how to get real value from it. I do the thinking for you, offering practical tips you can use right away to work smarter, faster, and more effectively.

A custom T-shirt generator built as my first-semester final project at Harvard. Laravel and MySQL underneath, a p5.js canvas rendering the shirt live as the text changed, and a Zazzle affiliate handoff for printing. The code is still public.

A workshop management system for a college professional development program: registrations, waitlists, attendance, and email reminders. It scored each registrant's likelihood to attend from their own no-show history. Built for one district and used there.

An installable Laravel package that let an application's own users build their own forms. Field definitions were stored as JSON, so a new form was a new row rather than a migration. It passed 11,000 installs on Packagist and strangers sent pull requests. I stopped maintaining it in 2020.

A scheduler for recurring employee emails and Slack messages, where each contact list was a stored GraphQL query re-run at send time instead of an uploaded spreadsheet. A React and Strapi learning project, published as open source.

My Harvard Extension graduate capstone: a web app for building a course-by-course education plan and publishing it so other students could start from it instead of from a blank catalog. Deployed with real course data, never taken past prototype.

A reference site that gathered the state resources, discounts, and licensed software available to California Community Colleges into one place, including an index of technology plans from all 114 colleges parsed with NLP. Built 2017, retired April 2021.

Amazon's top-rated products kept disappointing me, so I built a Laravel app that threw out reviews that did not look genuine and re-ranked whatever was left. It ran publicly for about two years. The Medium write-up of the method is the best surviving record of it.
