I build useful systems for complicated, real-world questions.

Software, research, hardware, and civic tools—followed from the first question through a working artifact, the evidence, and what did not work.

Available services

Work with me on a focused build or decision.

I turn selected project methods into fixed, inspectable scopes. Every offer states the evidence boundary, price, delivery shape, and work that still belongs to the buyer.

01 Website launches I build fast, clear websites for owner-operated service businesses, beginning with a private homepage preview. $650 + optional $79/month care 02 Open-source stack audits I compare real capabilities, operating gaps, dependencies, and rollback paths before recommending a replacement. $495–$1,500 · $149/month watch 03 Public-benefit opportunity radar I return a small source-verified set of grants, challenges, fellowships, or contracts with explicit rejects and human-controlled gates. $99 dossier · $49–$199/month 04 Civic Change Brief I turn official meetings, permits, infrastructure projects, and policy changes into source-linked weekly briefs with explicit coverage limits. $39–$249/month · $1,500 custom setup

Public workshop

The Lab turns selected ideas into things you can use.

Small tools, interactive explanations, and experiments will live beside the project record. SkillTube is first at the bench.

The through-line

The medium changes. The habit does not: find a problem worth understanding, build the smallest honest system that can test it, and document the result well enough for someone else to inspect.
