Live production product

Find Flag Football

A US-focused platform for discovering and running adult flag football, pickup games, leagues, tournaments, registrations, payments, and host payouts.

The problem: Adult flag football hosts were stuck stitching together static sites and spreadsheets. Running events means discovery, registration windows, capacity and waitlists, payments, refunds, teams, schedules, brackets, communication, and payouts. Those are workflows generic tools leave fragmented.
Why it matters: It turns a real organizational headache, running and finding adult flag football events, into a product hosts can operate and players can trust. Proof that I can take messy operational needs and ship a production system tying UX, data, payments, and automation together.

Home Chef

A private AI household chef for two adults, meal planning, chat with Chef Carmela, groceries, preferences, and Harris Teeter shopping from a passcode-gated panel.

The problem: Weeknight cooking for a household still means deciding what to eat, scaling recipes, building a grocery list, and shopping, usually across notes apps, chat threads, and store sites. I wanted one place that knew our preferences and recent meals and could help without becoming another SaaS I had to maintain for strangers.
Why it matters: Shows how I use AI where it earns its keep (planning and conversation), wired into a practical everyday workflow with auth, data, and a real grocery integration. Also honest about scope: private household app, gated on purpose so costs and personal details stay contained.

Buyer Boards

A house-hunt board that shortlists homes with payment math, commute context, schools, and maps, personal today, shaped toward shareable buyer boards later.

The problem: Evaluating a home purchase mixes listings, mortgage assumptions, commute times, schools, and personal filters. Spreadsheets and browser tabs make it hard to compare options or share a clear board with someone helping on the search.
Why it matters: Turns a stressful personal workflow into a clearer decision tool, and shows how something built for one household can grow into a product shape without pretending multi-tenant brokerage features are finished.
