The products I built.

I built each of these from a problem I knew well. Some are live products, some are active builds, and some are award-winning prototypes. Open any one to see what it does and the work behind it.

The strongest examples of products I have designed, built, or brought into real use.

Built end to end in three months and demoed to USCIS leadership in February 2026.

SCOPE

Every meeting produces decisions and obligations. Most organizations lose both by lunch. SCOPE keeps them.

  • Detects Teams meetings through Microsoft Graph.
  • Pushes owned, dated work into Microsoft To Do.
  • Syncs completion back into the meeting record.

Certification readiness platform in active build.

CertGenius

Certification prep should feel like a clear path, not a pile of videos and practice questions.

  • Shows readiness by exam domain so learners know where they are strong and weak.
  • Connects practice, flashcards, and mock exams into one feedback loop.
  • Uses Cortex to explain misses and turn them into shorter follow-up drills.

Live field-service AI triage.

Haymarket Plumbing AI

Point the camera at the problem, describe it out loud, and the service request writes itself.

  • Uses vision-capable AI to reason over visible plumbing issues.
  • Escalates to Jobber with images, summary, urgency, and customer context.
  • Keeps safety boundaries clear and does not pose as a licensed plumber.

Systems I operate

Software and infrastructure I use to run content and training work.

Human-reviewed publishing system.

Social OS

A human-gated publishing system that prepares finished post packages and refuses to publish until a person says yes.

  • Every package carries source, lineage, critic notes, and governance context.
  • Review queue supports approve, sharpen, or kill.
  • Approved work can publish across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Training business infrastructure.

Professional Training Platform

The course is the easy part. Catalogs, sessions, payments, cohorts, time zones, and certificates are what drown small training companies.

  • Supports public courses, private cohorts, sessions, and certificates.
  • Includes role-specific flows for students, instructors, admins, and corporate buyers.
  • Connects enrollment, scheduling, payment, communications, and completion.

Prototypes and awards

Focused experiments that tested an idea, workflow, or new way to plan work.

Award-winning prototype. First place, November 2025.

Rapid Planning GPT

Government teams spend weeks assembling a plan before work begins. This compresses the assembly into a guided session.

  • Won first place at the OpenAI and Carahsoft Federal AI Hackathon in November 2025.
  • Featured by OpenAI for Government.
  • Produced a draft plan for people to review, correct, and own before acting on it.

Award-recognized prototype. People's Choice, 2021.

FACTS

Who is coming in, who is allowed in, and whether the building can hold them. FACTS answers all three before anyone reaches the door.

  • Won People's Choice Award in 2021.
  • Connected access requests, approvals, capacity, and reporting.
  • The thinking fed later federal ICAM and facility access work.
