Full-stack dev for
small business
& early-stage SaaS.

I build products that actually ship — clean code, fast delivery, no agency markup. From a starter site to a deployed SaaS, I handle the full stack.

Vigil

Thoughts, tasks, and ideas were getting lost — jotted on random scraps, forgotten mid-sentence, never acted on. I built Vigil to fix that: a platform that lets you capture anything instantly via a global hotkey, smart glasses, or wherever you are, then automatically categorizes it with AI and surfaces patterns in your thinking over time. What started as a personal tool grew into a full platform — Railway-deployed API, native macOS menu bar client, and an Even Realities G2 smart glasses integration.

v0.1.0 shipped — macOS client in daily use, waitlist open at vigilhub.io

BrickRebuilder

Moving broke a couple of large LEGO sets — tearing them down and starting from scratch wasn't appealing. I wanted a way to identify loose parts and get rebuild instructions from wherever I was in the set, not just from the beginning. Built a React Native app with Expo that integrates with the Rebrickable API to match parts to sets, with a Supabase backend handling data and user state.

Self-Hosted Dev Infrastructure

Started as a home media server and grew into a full self-hosted development platform as project needs evolved. Built out a Docker-based stack with nginx, SWAG for SSL, Code Server for remote dev access, and Nextcloud for file and data management, all running on near-gigabit symmetrical home internet. No cloud vendor lock-in, no recurring infrastructure bills.

DevWebCrawler

Freelance job boards are a race to the bottom — 80 bidders on a $50 gig. I built a personal lead-finder that crawls Reddit, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers daily to surface posts where real founders and teams are expressing a need before it becomes a formal listing. Scored, deduplicated, and delivered as a morning email digest. No bidding, no noise.

In active development — built to replace job boards entirely

Home server setup

Replace your cloud subscriptions with hardware you own. Your data stays home — no monthly fees, no vendor lock-in.

Everything is set up and configured on hardware in your home. Your data never touches my servers — not during setup, not during monthly maintenance. Remote support means I can fix configuration issues, not access your files.

About

Builder based in Cedar City, Utah.

I'm a full-stack developer based in Cedar City, focused on small businesses and early-stage SaaS products. I work across the whole stack — from mobile apps to server infrastructure — and I care about shipping things that actually work.

Most of my clients are local southern Utah businesses or founders who need a technical partner, not just a vendor. I do in-person meetings, quick turnarounds, and honest scoping.

Every project I take on gets the same attention whether it's a $1,200 site or a multi-month product build.
