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.

GO Transit

Quick schedule lookup for GO Transit routes. Find your next train instantly.

Album Art

Album covers drift across the screen. A screensaver for music lovers.

Fleet Dispatch

Real-time school bus management. GPS tracking, QR check-in, parent notifications. In pilot with KGR's Tours, Jamaica.

Pakled

AI-assisted calling for people who need extra care and support. Say what you need done; Pakled dials, connects you, and shows the one line to say next. It never speaks for you.

QuietDesk

An AI phone receptionist for small businesses. It answers every call, takes orders and reservations, and confirms by text.

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.
