I build software products—
for clients and for curiosity.

Consulting that ships. Experiments that explore.

Products

Shipped tools and apps. The previews below are live — each one is the product's core idea, running.

Chextmate

Chess where the entire game lives in the URL. Share a link, share the position. No accounts, no database.

Pakled

Put in your earbuds. Pakled hears the room and whispers answers when someone asks a question.

Telepathetic

A party game about reading minds. Give clues, guess together, find out who's truly in sync.

QuietDesk

One place for project context across all your AI tools. Group files, switch clients, paste anywhere in one click.

WatchItBuddy

A movie buddy that learns your taste. Track your watchlist and get recommendations that actually fit.

Foxicon

A calm AI reading companion. Curated articles, concept guides, and audio on every piece.

The Lab

Strange experiments. Ambient toys. All of them live.

Work With Me

I've been shipping software for 26 years — early ecommerce covered by The Globe & Mail, an iPhone-era app featured by ABC News and Wired, location technology used by Rogers, and engineering leadership inside large financial institutions.

Today I help founders take an MVP from idea to real users, unstick projects that have stalled, and set up AI-assisted delivery that genuinely accelerates teams.
