Things I build when the mood strikes
I've spent the past six months experimenting with AI-assisted coding. In a world where technology moves this fast, staying current is essential. These tools have opened up a way for me to bring ideas to life that I wouldn't have the skills to build otherwise, and to stay curious about where design and technology overlap. These are passion projects, made for fun, made to learn. Feel free to check them out below.
Floid
A scheduling tool built for industrial design workflows. Manage timelines, coordinate teams, and keep projects on track. I built this as an internal tool for myself to help manage my design projects at work in a way that made more sense to how I think about scheduling. It is built to be flexible and easy alignable to other teams schedules, which was an issue I found other software struggled with in a user-friendly manner.
Bentu
A personal journal for everywhere you eat. Leave quick notes on meals, build lists of favorites, and search through years of dining history on a map. I built this firstly as an app to leave private feedback to restaurants becuase I found myself wanting to give constructive feedback to new restaurants I was trying and didn't want that feedback to be public facing. After building out that tool, I realized that it would be a really neat way to track and store all o the places that I have eaten in general, and so therefore the app took on a twofold approach to be both consumer and business facing.
Hit or Miss
Host music contests, submit tracks, and let the community vote. Binary voting keeps it honest. Every song is a hit or a miss. I hosted a songwriting competition sponsored by Native Instruments and vastly underestimated the amount of effort planning and excecuting it would take. During the entire process I kept feeling like all of the tedious steps in the process could be very easily automated,a nd so I built HitOrMiss as a tool to help future competition hosts not have to go through the same type of headache as I did.
Spork
A restaurant finder that picks one place for you. No reviews, no ratings, no scrolling. Just tap, get a recommendation near you, and go eat. I built this because, well, why not? When is the last time you quickly decided on a place to go eat? Probably never. SO why not be spontaneous and let something choose a semi-random place for you to go to instead?
Plainsight
Spot startup ideas before they go mainstream. AI scans Reddit, Hacker News, and more to surface emerging opportunities with momentum scoring and daily digests. I built this to surface other potential ideas that I could build out if they piqued my interest.
