I build the apps that run your business — from custom e-commerce platforms to geospatial tools to AI agents that work while you sleep.
As a St. Paul resident, I wanted to give back to my community in a way that could have real impact. The skyway system connects 47 blocks of downtown but had no usable digital map — so I built one.
A geospatial navigation app mapping all 47 blocks of Saint Paul's skyway system. Multi-layer indoor maps with time-based routing, business POI search, transit integration, and ADA accessibility data — built on PostGIS with custom OpenStreetMap tiles.
The core challenge was explaining a patent-pending dog bed to customers — what it is and how to use it. I built the entire platform from the ground up to make the product intuitive through the shopping experience itself.
A fully custom e-commerce platform with a 42-table Supabase schema, Stripe-powered checkout, loyalty points engine, UGC community with photo reviews, and an AI agent (Cleo) running on a Mac Mini that handles customer service, inventory, and marketing autonomously.
Metro Transit publishes real-time vehicle positions via GTFS-RT, but the raw protobuf feed is just coordinates refreshing every 10 seconds — vehicles teleport between updates. I wanted smooth, accurate motion that follows actual transit routes between polls.
A real-time vehicle tracker for Twin Cities Metro Transit. Decodes GTFS-RT protobuf feeds, snaps vehicles to official route polylines from MnDOT shapefiles, and dead-reckons along the actual road geometry between 10-second polls — so buses and trains glide smoothly along their routes instead of jumping.
I needed a home for my indie app studio — somewhere that matched the dark-first philosophy of the apps themselves. Not a template, not a Squarespace site. Something built from scratch that feels like the products it represents.
The marketing site for RAMOSWARE, a dark-first indie app studio shipping iOS and visionOS apps. Features a Three.js 3D wireframe hero, Framer Motion scroll-linked animations, glassmorphism app cards with perspective tilt, custom cursor, and grain overlays — all optimized for performance without sacrificing visual polish.
What I Build
Every project is built from scratch to fit the problem. No templates, no page builders — just clean, production-ready code.
Full-stack applications built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. From concept to deployment on Vercel — designed around your specific business needs.
Custom storefronts with Stripe checkout, subscription billing, loyalty systems, and admin dashboards. Not templates — built from the ground up for your product.
Interactive maps and location-based tools built on PostGIS, Leaflet, and OpenStreetMap. Indoor navigation, spatial queries, and custom tile layers.
Autonomous AI agents that handle real business operations — customer service, inventory management, email marketing, and more. Running 24/7 on your infrastructure.
How I Work
Every project follows a clear, predictable process from first conversation to production deployment.
We talk about your idea, your goals, and what success looks like. No jargon, no pressure — just a conversation about what you need built.
You get a clear plan with specific deliverables, timeline, and investment. No surprises down the road.
I develop in sprints and share progress along the way. You see real, working software — not mockups — throughout the process.
I handle deployment, DNS, and production setup. After launch, I stick around to make sure everything runs smoothly.
About
I'm a self-taught developer based in Minnesota building full-stack applications with a focus on geospatial data, e-commerce, and AI agent systems. I ship fast, iterate on real feedback, and care about the details.
