Platforms, brands, and products taken from zero to production — and kept running afterwards.
Founding engineer and #1 contributor across both generations of Yield Guild Games' platform. Built the original app, owned the DS4→DS5 design system and Storybook library, then led the greenfield rebuild into a Next.js 15 / React 19 Turborepo monorepo — quests, leaderboards, points & token UI, swap/stake flows, and on-chain identity.
Founded and engineered a photo-booth entertainment company from scratch — every piece of hardware and software is mine. Custom photo-capture software, touchscreen UX, lighting controls, and print workflows, end to end. “Poor decisions, documented beautifully.”
Full brand and web build for a Hudson Valley helical pile contractor — redesigned their logo and identity, then shipped the site around it. Industrial-spec art direction: oversized display type, torque-readout detailing, and a custom contact form wired for real estimate requests instead of a generic form embed.
Architected and built a custom cattle-broker management application for active livestock operations. Owned full-stack delivery: Postgres schema, API design, auth & role-based access control, e-signature integration, hosting, and a buyer/seller UI tuned to real ranching workflows.
A portrait & editorial photography practice — the visual eye behind the engineering. Built and shot the full portfolio, where composition, light, and grid rhythm carry the same craft I bring to interfaces.
