I like solving problems & developing apps.

I get into a topic, decide it needs a tool, build the tool, then move on to the next thing.

About

I'm into Tech, Hiking, Labs, Bio-hacking, Building with AI & coding my way out of problems.

Most of it starts the same way. I get curious about something, and sooner or later I am building software for it. A few of those turned into the projects below.

Things I've built

Some of my hobby projects over 2026

vicp-registry.org

passion project public records since 1988

VICP Registry

Shipped 100% done

A passion project. When someone is found to have been injured by a vaccine, their case is decided and compensated through a federal program, and every ruling is public. In practice the record sits in scattered, scanned PDFs almost nobody can find or read. VICP Registry pulls those cases into one place so the people behind them are easy to find and their stories are actually legible.

  • Collects vaccine-injury compensation decisions going back to 1988
  • OCR and parsing that turn scanned filings into readable, searchable records
  • Built to make the injured petitioners' cases visible instead of buried

lead generation managed services built for myself

Govt RFP Tracker

Shipped 100% done

I wanted leads for an IT managed-services idea, so I built an engine to find them. Government agencies post IT solicitations constantly, but across dozens of portals in inconsistent formats. The tracker watches those sources, pulls each notice into a clean record, and surfaces the ones worth bidding on, turning a scattered pile of listings into an actual pipeline.

  • Aggregates government IT solicitations from public procurement sources
  • Filters and scores them so only the relevant bids surface
  • Built as a lead engine for an IT managed-services business

Invite-only, not open to the public.

RMM platform endpoint management vs. NinjaOne & Kaseya

RMM Platform

In progress about 70% done

A remote monitoring and management platform built to go head to head with NinjaOne and Kaseya. One console to manage, secure, patch, and support entire fleets of devices, scalable to 100,000 endpoints.

  • Remote access, ticketing, and an encrypted password vault
  • Full automation, scripting, and Windows patching
  • AI-assisted troubleshooting and vulnerable app detection

managed IT servicesThe services business the bid engine was built to feed.
half-built experimentsThere is always something mid-build I have not shown anyone yet.

Thoughts

Occasional notes on the things I build and the rabbit holes that lead to them.
