I build the whole thing.
Architecture, interface, infrastructure, brand. I don't hand work off — I finish it, ship it, and then keep it running.
Every colour on this site comes from something I made. Hover one.
How I work
2020 — 2026I own the whole surface.
Most engineers stop at the API. Most designers stop at the mockup. I take a product from the first sketch to the thing running in production with real users, and I don't need a team to do it.
I build systems, not screens.
Design tokens, scheduling engines, ingest pipelines, brand kits. If it has to hold up under load — technical or visual — I'd rather build the system that makes a thousand of them than hand-make one.
I know what good looks like.
Two years leading engineering at a national broadcaster, two and a half shipping to millions at Ancestry, and a film school habit of not letting anything out that isn't finished.
Every product here is mine, from the architecture to the wordmark.
Rotavox runs in production, scheduling The BOLT every day; Memrey and Andacity are in development. The colour of this room is the colour of whatever you're standing in front of.
An AI archive that gives a lifetime of photographs its memory back.
Ingest, understand and retrieve decades of images by the thing you actually remember about them — not by a tag nobody wrote.

The planner, the engine, the library, the reporting. One system, one person, and a real station running on it every day.

Plan the whole trip, not just book a flight.
Discovery-first travel across destinations, hotels, flights and cars — one planner and one shareable trip, instead of twelve tabs and a spreadsheet.

The part you can watch.
Shadowcat isn't a hobby sitting next to the engineering. It's the same instinct pointed at a different surface — control the whole chain, and don't let anything out that isn't finished.
A radio station built end to end.
On air now. The software that runs it, the sound that comes out of it, and the brand wrapped around it. This is the one that lives in both halves of my work.
Listen live at thebolt.stream →I write it, shoot it, cut it, grade it and score it.
Then I build the site it lives on. Both halves of my work are judged the same way: does it hold your attention, and does it hold up on a second pass.

I'm open to senior and staff full-stack roles, and to the occasional contract that's actually interesting. Tell me what you're building. I answer everything.
