Things I’ve made

I’ve worked on tons of little projects over the years but these are the ones that I’m most proud of. Many of them are open-source, so if you see something that piques your interest, check out the code and contribute if you have ideas for how it can be improved.

  • Zenith

    Zenith is a goal oriented task manager that helps you to prioritize and achieve by breaking focus areas down into smart goals and smaller tasks. This project was built in phases, starting with Next.JS and PostgreSQL to produce an MVP, then a complete rewrite of the backend with NestJS and a few node microservices for scaling the notifications, websockets, and mailing services.

  • Doodles

    I'd made this project because my 4 year old son was enjoying a click to color app on his tablet, and he'd reached the end of the free content. So I put together a PWA with a few coloring pages and a color picker. It's a fun project to work on and my son loves it to this day - I've even added background music at his request (that can be turned off of course). Technologies used: Next.js, TypeScript, a whole lot of SVG's, and Tailwind CSS.
