Projects

Side projects I build and maintain — partly to ship real products, partly to stay honest about how the tools I recommend actually work.

Givana

Givana

givana.us · community giving platform

An experimental platform for local giving and community exchange. The core idea is “Loops” — small neighborhood networks where people can give away, share, or exchange items locally without the friction of larger marketplaces.

Built with Next.js and Supabase. Currently a public prototype — I use it to explore filters, API design patterns, and agentic helpers that make community interactions feel lighter.

AvaSquishi

avasquishi.com · e-commerce

A real online toy store my daughter Ava and I are building together. She picks the products. I handle the infrastructure. It’s equal parts entrepreneurship experiment and father-daughter project.

Built with Next.js and Stripe for product management and payments, with Supabase managing inventory. Currently live.

RoboTakes

robotakes.com · AI debate platform

A platform where AI models generate competing takes on real news stories through four distinct personality archetypes — The Architect, The Operator, The Disruptor, and The Opportunist. Readers vote blind (no model names shown) for the take closest to their view. After 48 hours, the model behind each take is revealed.

Built with Next.js and Supabase. The research layer underneath the entertainment product: every episode logs which AI model performed which role, building a longitudinal dataset on model reasoning quality across domains.

payments & inventory infrastructure

A backend service layer I built to support my own projects — not a product company, just the infrastructure underneath AvaSquishi and potentially other solutions in the future.

Multi-tenant architecture built on Supabase and Stripe. Stripe is the source of truth for products and payments; Supabase handles inventory reads and application data.

Some of my side projects and technical work live on GitHub, including the source code for this site.
