Products, prototypes
& experiments.

Products, prototypes and experiments I've built, each labeled for what it is and where it stands.

ProductLive

Helps physicians evaluate potential practice acquisitions.

Problem: Physicians buying a practice with an SBA loan often pay for full diligence before knowing whether the deal even works financially.
What I built: Designed and built a first-pass screen that runs the loan math, applies red-flag rules, and says whether a deal is worth a closer look.

ProductLive

Turns any bid package into a one-page list of everything that could disqualify you, with page numbers.

Problem: Contractors can spend an evening reading a bid package only to find a requirement that rules them out.
What I built: Built BidDibs, which reads any bid package (federal, state or a general contractor's invitation to bid) and returns a one-page kill sheet: every hard gate that could disqualify you, with the exact page number.

Prototype / ExperimentIn development

Scheduling and route planning for mobile service businesses, starting with dog groomers.

Problem: Mobile service businesses such as dog groomers lose productive time when appointments are booked without considering geography, drive time, service areas, cancellations, and customer scheduling preferences.
What I built: Designed RuffRoute as a scheduling and route-optimization prototype for mobile service businesses. The concept combines appointment availability with geographic constraints, area-based scheduling, travel time, and intelligent waitlist handling so open appointments can be filled without creating inefficient routes.

Job analysis and resume-to-job fit.

Problem: Job seekers often have to interpret lengthy job descriptions, determine whether a role is actually a fit, and repeatedly adapt their experience and résumé for different opportunities.
What I built: Developed Jobspera as an AI-assisted job-analysis and résumé-curation prototype that helps break down job opportunities, evaluate fit, and surface the parts of a candidate's experience that are most relevant to a specific role.

Product / ExperimentLive

A daily salary-guessing game built on real labor-market data.

Problem: Salary information is usually presented as static data, making it difficult for people to develop an intuitive understanding of what different jobs actually pay or discover careers they might not otherwise consider.
What I built: Created Payshok, an interactive salary-guessing and job-discovery game using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics compensation data. The experience turns labor-market data into a simple game that lets users guess salaries, see the answer, and discover different occupations along the way.

ProductLive

Helps parents organize playdates and social connections.

Problem: Parents often want to help their children spend time with friends, but coordinating playdates across different families, schedules, and contact methods quickly becomes cumbersome.
What I built: Built Asobly, a parent-focused web application designed to make organizing playdates and social connections easier. The product includes account and family-management functionality, invitations and communication workflows, and ongoing experiments around easier group coordination.

ExperimentIn development

Pick two: cheap, fast or good. A snarky way to remind stakeholders which one they're giving up.

Problem: Projects keep getting asked to be cheap, fast and good at the same time, and explaining why that's impossible, again, rarely lands well.
What I built: Built Cheap Fast or Good, a tool where you pick your two priorities, describe the situation, and get a verdict card to paste into Slack, send to a client or forward without comment.
