Building Heroes a Useful Tool This is a big project. In a nutshell, this project involves building a complete EMR (Electronic Medical Records system) for pediatric therapy clinics (specifically physical, occupational, speech, and language therapies). This project was...

Gift Cards Can Be Annoying Maybe it's just me and I am an ungrateful bastard, but when I open a birthday card with a prepaid visa card in it my first thought is "Gee, thanks for going to Walgreens..." The truth is, at least to me, is that these cards be a PAIN to use....

Pandemic Anti-Doom Project? You Betcha OK, so the pandemic was/is a weird time for a lot of people. Those of us fortunate to not have our lives completely gutted in one way or another often picked up a new hobby/project, doubling down on things we can do to keep our...

One-on-one work with those who stutter, helping them explore natural means to balance their brain chemistry (which was a HUGE game-changer for me).

Through this site, people can add names of people (that is, small people) who they think are awesome. Then, when they ask Siri who’s awesome, she answers that, in fact, they are. This was a fun one, mostly because the core intent was just to make kids smile and feel special.

A support group for people who stutter. A local group I put together that meets every two weeks to share stories, experiences, challenges and wisdom. The intent of the group is to offer a safe space for people to share their experiences with stuttering and hear other’s experiences as well. Living with a stutter is tough and this is one room where people really understand what it’s like.

Pro bono websites for great causes. Once a quarter, we build a modern, responsive website for a non-profit free of charge. There are a lot of groups out there doing some amazing things. However, their websites are often not up to the same level of quality as their mission. Sites for Service is an initiative that aims to fix that, by providing good causes with a modern, responsive website that they can maintain themselves.

A human-powered podcast episode recommendation engine. Someone tells you about a great podcast, but where do you start? All the Great Podcasts shows the best episodes, allowing you to skip to the good stuff. This project involved turning WordPress into a fully-functional podcast site (with working itunes feed), a podcast site that takes submissions from users. Users can create posts from a form interface and add their favorite episodes, and “like” episodes on their site (and view most-liked episodes).

The ketogenic diet (ketogenic eating) in plain English. There is a lot of bad diet/health information out there, or just bad actors who want to charge for even the simplest of information. This site is intended to be a resource for people who want to try keto for themselves. The information on this site takes people from finding out what keto is, to starting keto, to advanced keto, to troubleshooting issues, to figuring out of keto really isn’t the solution for them.
