Recent Activity
Deployed to Vercel and checked production rather than trusting the green checkmark. That surfaced a fully indexable public preview with no robots.txt — blocked before a half-real copy of the studio could start competing with the real domain in search.
Rebuilt the month calendar for phones: a 960px horizontal scroller became a fitted grid of availability dots that opens a day on tap. The site also gained mobile navigation, which it had been missing entirely — two pages were dead ends on a phone.
Connected the site to its content database and verified every path in a browser: create, edit, delete, and the cache invalidation that carries an admin save through to the public page. The first run against real data surfaced a seeding collision that would have shipped a silently empty class filter.
The owner can now run her own site. Six content types behind a password-protected admin — weekly schedule, teachers, class descriptions, and pricing — so routine changes no longer wait on a developer.
Chased a test-runner failure I'd twice logged as flaky. I reproduced it on a clean checkout, which ruled out both leading theories. The real cause: the config was scanning 371 files instead of 52, pulling in stale worktree copies.
Where This Is Heading
What's Cooking
Several things at once, as usual:
- AI systems and automation that take repetitive work off people's plates
- Websites and web apps that ship and do what they're supposed to
- Building out entertainment spaces with live sound and light systems
- There have been a bunch of tools that started as a personal experiment and ended up solving a real problem for a real client
- I've been playing in a brand-new space for me — ARGs — Stay tuned for more
On the surface, those don't have much in common. But the same instincts that make a live show run smoothly are the ones that make a software system hold together under pressure. The people I work with get the benefit of all of it, and it's a whole lot of fun.
The Endgame
Same pattern as always, just covering more ground.
Decades across sales training, military service, and enterprise technology will do that. The focus has shifted hard into AI development over the last couple of years, and it's been a hell of a ride so far.
People come back to work with me and bring friends because something got solved, something shipped, and they've got more problems worth solving.
The work itself:
- AI and automation has moved past experimentation — it's running for real clients, on real deadlines, giving people huge amounts of time back in their week
- The sound and lighting work is still a blast — years on stage before I ever stood behind a board means the people performing get someone who knows what it feels like from both sides
- My friends and clients who get things solved keep coming back with more challenges and bringing new friends along that often become new clients.
No master plan. But the pattern holds, the range keeps expanding, and something useful comes out the other side.
