Work

Systems and software I've built — from production SaaS to custom platforms running across 12+ companies. Whether building new products or maintaining systems over decades, the focus is software that adapts to people: the custom commission engine I built in 2009 is still processing 500–1,000 payroll lines per cycle 14 years later.

ScrapSync

Back-office management platform · Focus Labs · Feb 2026 – Present

A full back-office platform that runs on a team's everyday Slack activity. Instead of forms and manual data entry, it reads the normal conversations and posts a team already writes, makes sense of them, and turns them into structured records: repair cases, parts orders, equipment, invoices, and CRM contacts. It acts on its own when it's confident and checks with a person when it isn't.

ServiceSnapp

Field-service data platform · Focus Labs · Sep 2025 – Present

Syncs and backs up ServiceFusion field-service data into portable, multi-tenant storage, with freemium billing.

SignFlow

Document-signing platform · Focus Labs · Dec 2025 – Present

Turns Zoho Sign templates into permanent public signing links and QR codes, so the person signing never needs a Zoho account.

Also building

FocusOps — a productivity tool I built for myself and am opening to the public as an "AI-agent cloud brain." It runs an MCP server so AI assistants can read and update your tasks, and it works offline as an installable PWA with a companion browser extension.

Personal projects, built on my own time and matured well past prototypes: an AI phone agent that places outbound calls, works through phone trees, and returns structured results.

How I Work

Strongest at getting a working product built quickly, multi-tenant SaaS, API and webhook integration, data modeling, AI integration, and keeping production systems running.

I do my best work where I own outcomes end to end, and I'm most effective paired with code review when I'm coming into a large established codebase. Whatever I ship, I can explain and maintain.

I'm glad to walk through the architecture and commit history of anything here.
