ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA

Things I've built,
collected in one place.

Small web projects I make and tinker with, the blog I kept during my stay-at-home dad years, and some background if you're here about work.

PRIVATE APP · INTERACTIVE DEMO

Basil — Family Finance

Our household finance app: bank accounts sync in automatically, with budgets, spending alerts, and a calm dashboard. The real app is private — this demo runs on sample data in your browser. Tinker all you want; nothing saves.

Handled — Household HQ

Runs our household: the daily checklist, the kids' ride schedule, meal planning, groceries, and school grades. This demo uses a sample family — check things off, swap a dinner, build the grocery list. Nothing is saved.
