Work
A few recent websites, tools, and product builds. Some are client-facing, some are self-initiated, and all are representative of how I like to work: clear, practical, and carefully finished.
Not every engagement is public. Advisory work and internal systems often stay private.

Hearth
C.C. Shepherd Funeral Home
A private tool for funeral directors that captures the arrangement meeting in plain language and helps turn the notes into the documents the family will see.
- iPhone PWA
- Fly.io
- Designed and built end-to-end for a Massachusetts funeral home, in active production since May 2026
- iPhone-first progressive web app, no app store install, deployable in a day
- Voice and typing both first-class so the director can stay with the family during the meeting
- Single-tenant per funeral home: private deployment, private data, no crossover between homes

Summer of Soccer
Self-initiated, for South Shore bars
A multi-tenant score-prediction game for the 2026 World Cup, built so an independent bar can run its own prize pool on the big screen — patrons prove they are in the room, predict the scores, and climb a named leaderboard on the TV, while the owner keeps the opt-in customer list it builds.
- FastAPI
- SQLite
- Fly.io
- Multi-tenant by design — every venue gets its own themed leaderboard, prize, and customer list from one codebase and a one-line config
- A physical-presence check-in, opt-in capture with timestamped consent, and a sweepstakes-compliant prize wrapper, so the fun stays on the right side of the rules
- The same venue config drives both the live game and the printed pitch mockup, so onboarding a new bar is mostly already done
- A public South Shore leaderboard ties every participating bar together, turning one venue's game into a regional rivalry that runs across town lines

PrayerTrain
Non-profit
Built for a family-run ministry. A faith-centered prayer coordination platform — like meal trains, but for organized prayer support during times of need, helping Catholic families rally around a loved one in crisis.
- Next.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Cloudflare
- Curated library of Catholic prayers — novenas, rosaries, chaplets — with smart recommendations by situation
- Three-step prayer train creation with a visual calendar of committed slots
- Email reminders and a community guestbook to keep the train together

PocketRef
Personal build, Baystate APA league
A native iOS app for league players and captains mid-match — answers Baystate APA pool rules questions in plain English, with structured rulings grounded in both the national APA manual and Baystate's local bylaws.
- Swift 6
- SwiftUI
- OpenAI API
- Ask any rules question in plain English — get a structured ruling, a "could change it" note for local bylaws or house rules, and the manual section the answer came from
- 17 browsable rule categories, with Baystate APA Local Bylaws called out separately from the national rulebook
- Photograph a table mid-game and get AI-powered analysis — the likely game state, detected ball positions, and an honest list of what a photo alone can't tell you
