Focus One at a time

I solve real problems
by crafting premium digital experiences.

I build alongside frontier AI models with the precision of a craftsman and the clarity that comes from real credentials. The result is clean, inspectable work that actually ships.

Most of what I make is open source, built to help people and push the craft forward. The list below is what's public so far.

AI made building easy. Building something people remember is still an art.
Selected Work Identify · build · ship · iterate

Each project is a self-contained answer to a problem I found worth solving. Different niches. Different stacks. The throughline is the method: identify, build, ship, iterate.

001

A free game for toddlers

Built for my own son, then opened up for every parent. Simple, safe, genuinely educational. Zero ads, zero tracking, free forever. Screen time you don't have to feel guilty about.

This website

A hand-built static site with no framework or bundler. It responds to cursor movement, scrolling, and device tilt. The typography uses a chrome style with physical weight. A 3D figure watches you read and sometimes looks straight at you. Open source, self-hosted on Cloudflare.

Live
003

h3lp for Ontario

A free, friendly hub that connects people across Ontario to real, verified help for fighting addictions, abuse, needing food, and more. No sign-up, no judgement, no cost. Open to everyone, any age or background.

Next project, in progress

Different niche. Different problem. Same method. Published openly when shipped.

Soon

Self-taught.
Still learning.

No degree, just deliberate range. Each credential is a tool I went looking for, not a box I checked. Picked across disciplines because the interesting problems live where they overlap.
