What I’ve built, and what I’d build next.

Real projects are anonymized by industry; clients stay private unless they’ve said otherwise. Anything marked Concept is a build I’ve designed to show the approach, not a client engagement.

Commission calculator

An insurance company

Real project

The problem: Commissions were worked out through a long spreadsheet process that took about a week each pay cycle, and only a couple of people knew how to run it.
What I built: A web tool that takes the CSV export from their system and does the whole commission calculation, start to finish.

Before: About a week of spreadsheet work every pay cycle
After: Drop in the CSV export, get every payout
Result: The week-long run became a file upload with the results on screen.

Daily vendor emails

An insurance company

Real project

The problem: Vendors needed regular data updates, and someone had to pull the data and send it out by hand every time.
What I built: A small service that reads the data from an API once a day and emails each vendor what they need.

Before: Data pulled and sent to vendors by hand
After: Pulled and emailed automatically every day
Result: The daily updates go out on their own. Nobody has to remember.

Agent reward wheel

An insurance company

Real project

The problem: They wanted to turn sales numbers into reward spins for each agent and keep track of what everyone won, without a manual process behind it.
What I built: A site that reads the sales data, works out each agent's spins, and sends every agent a direct link to spin. A secure admin page sets the reward values. When an agent finishes, or at 5 p.m., whichever comes first, any remaining spins are used and the admin gets one email with every reward collected.

Before: Turning sales into rewards meant chasing everyone
After: One summary email at 5 p.m.
Result: Agents get a clean, fun spin. The admin gets one end-of-day summary instead of chasing results.

Public website overhaul

East to West Development Corporation

Real project

The problem: An organization building affordable housing across the country needed a public presence that matched the scale of its work.
What I built: A full custom rebuild of their public website.; See the live site: etwdc.org

Before: A site that undersold the work
After: A public site that matches the mission
Result: A modern site that represents the organization's mission and projects properly.

Inventory reconciliation

A small retailer

Concept

The problem: A small retailer cross-checks supplier invoices against what actually arrived, line by line, in a spreadsheet.
What I built: An app that reads an uploaded invoice (PDF or CSV) and flags every mismatch against received inventory.

Before: Invoices checked against stock line by line
After: Mismatches flagged on upload
Result: Concept build to show the approach, not a client engagement.

Intake and ballpark quote

A landscaping or contracting business

Concept

The problem: Quote requests arrive by phone, text, and email, with different details every time.
What I built: A branded intake form that collects the same details every time and generates a ballpark quote from them.

Before: Quote requests by phone and email, all different
After: One intake form, a ballpark quote on submit
Result: Concept build to show the approach, not a client engagement.

No-show follow-up

A clinic or salon

Concept

The problem: Someone at the front desk re-texts clients who didn't show up, one by one.
What I built: Automatic follow-ups triggered from the calendar or booking system's export.

Before: Front desk re-texts no-shows by hand
After: Follow-ups sent from the booking export
Result: Concept build to show the approach, not a client engagement.
