A one-evening clinic analytics MVP that connected Square sandbox revenue, GoHighLevel CRM data, simulated network clinics, and a custom MCP diagnostic tool to verify the data pipeline instead of guessing from screenshots.

I built a recruiter-facing AI assistant that answers from my own notes and project history, not generic model confidence. The system uses retrieval, grounding checks, semantic caching, route metadata, and reliability checks to stay useful without pretending it knows things it cannot support.

Calendly’s free constraints pushed me to ship a small scheduling flow in my own stack. Here is what I built, what broke, and what ended up being worth owning.

A reflection on why I keep coming back to Angular, even after spending most of my time building with React.

A reflection on mentoring developers from underrepresented backgrounds through Code the Dream’s practicum, where students learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and ship real software.

Remote work looks dreamy until your Wi-Fi fails and your call is at 3AM. Real tips from actually doing it. Time zones, routines, internet, and weekends.

A quick story about a Discord meme bot, what I used to ship it, and what I learned about friction, PWAs, and token life cycles.
