Work

A selection of current systems, useful prototypes, and older work. Private projects are described without pretending that a demo is a release—or that an idea is already a feature.

Each record describes product direction, systems design, verification, and acceptance. It does not claim that I personally wrote every line: Codex and Claude do much of the coding, and I review, test, and decide what ships.

Current and recent

2026

Focalane

My creator command center: one local place that carries each piece of content from script through filming, editing, rendering, and review, coordinates my Mac and iPhone recorders at their verified boundaries, and publishes nothing without my explicit approval.

FocalaneRecorder

The Focalane family's Mac recorder. It keeps cursor-free screen video, pointer and geometry data, an optional camera, and separate audio as one untouched take, so cursor styles, zoom, and layouts stay adjustable.

FocalaneCapture

A writing-first iPhone app where a saved note, or a script accepted in Focalane, can become the teleprompter prompt before filming takes in the same app.

OBD2Tech Capture + Journal

A read-only diagnostic system for my own Jeep that compares the vehicle against its own history, traces each finding to its source recording or scan, and answers 'Unknown' when the evidence cannot support a conclusion.

CertGraph

Built to teach SAA-C03 candidates and cloud engineers to turn scenario constraints into architecture decisions, as an accepted browser-only SAA-C03 prototype.

VoiceOfTheTexts

Began as layered author-voice research; now keeps writing provenance and turns the script rewrites I accept into editorial policy.

Arcclave

A human-controlled capability broker for developer agents, local for now, with a private vault underneath. Version 1.3 has proven one approved, read-only GitHub check; the agent never sees the credential.

MasterMyAccent

Being rebuilt as a small pronunciation course for Amharic speakers working in the US and Canada. First, a teacher's blind marking tests whether Azure's scoring hears their mistakes.

Client web work

Freelance websites built for organizations.

2025

Cornerstone Community Church

A Squarespace redesign for a church in Aurora, Colorado, designed and built by hand without AI assistance.

Earlier work

Projects I would reuse, narrow, or learn from rather than present as current products.

2026

FocalaneSpatialLab

The research twin of FocalaneCapture, teaching it to know a creator's filming spaces well enough for an agent to set the shot, not merely see the room.

The Long View

A finished educational app for exploring compound growth, delay, inflation, and uncertainty.

ChatFlight

An earlier flight-search chat demo, kept for how it shows agents handing off work and calling tools in real time.

AWS Glossary Graph

A live map of AWS services and the glossary terms that connect them. It is the public step between myDNAHealth's private results graph and CertGraph.

BellyBioMe

The team capstone for the Per Scholas AWS re/Start program: a nutrition tracker with barcode scanning, food search, daily goals, and dashboards.

Read project note

2024

myDNAHealth

Earlier DNA-report work: a ClinVar lookup, then private Django versions where people explored their matched results as a graph and asked an AI assistant about them. It started the graph line that led to CertGraph.

BustPDF

Earlier PDF, OCR, and structured-extraction work worth keeping as reusable document infrastructure.
