App Development
I build apps, too.
Small, thoughtful apps I'd actually use — with more on the way. Here's what's shipped so far. Have an idea of your own? I'd love to build it.

An app doesn't have to be on the App Store to matter. Here's a production system I built and run for a field-service business:
Field Operations Platform
A web app that runs a field-service company end to end. Technicians manage their day from a phone or tablet — job details, photo and video proof of work, and one-tap status updates — and it all keeps working offline, syncing the moment they're back in signal. Managers assign jobs, watch progress live, and generate invoices straight from completed work.
It plugs into the tools the business already runs on — pulling tickets from Salesforce, pushing billing to QuickBooks, and surfacing live device and camera health from Domotz and Velocity Vision — so the whole operation lives in one place. It can even power-cycle networked equipment at any site right from the browser, no truck roll, through a secure relay I built from scratch to reach gear behind firewalls.
Everything a field-service operation runs on
Jobs with multi-tech assignment, multi-day scheduling, projects, and photo & video proof of work — completion is photo-verified, every tech gets a focused personal queue, and capture keeps working offline and syncs when signal returns.
Leads with full activity timelines, an opportunity pipeline, a quote builder with auto-math and branded PDFs, and parent/child customer hierarchies that roll up for property managers.
One-click invoicing, a live pricebook, suppliers, purchase orders & inventory, and per-line-item SLA savings reports — pushed straight to QuickBooks as invoices and estimates.
Real-time device & camera health, one-tap PoE power-cycling and an in-browser SSH terminal through a firewall-traversing relay, plus live camera walls — no truck roll, no VPN.
42 granular per-user permissions that take effect instantly, one-toggle account disable, biometric gating for sensitive actions, and self-service data export & deletion.
Two Salesforce orgs and two QuickBooks companies side by side, Microsoft single sign-on, two-way customer email that threads back to the job, and web + native push.
Goes native on the job site
The platform is also a real native app, not just a web page in a wrapper. On a phone it adds instant push that deep-links straight to the job, offline access to the day's jobs and gate codes, barcode & serial scanning, on-site customer signature capture, GPS-stamped photos, home-screen job & device-status widgets, a lock-screen job timer, Face ID lock, and background photo upload that finishes even after the phone goes back in a pocket.
Included with Professional and Enterprise — native iOS and Android as Pylon. One app for every customer, branded by URL.
Pylon — now on the App Store and Google Play
Offered as a licensed, fully-hosted product in three tiers — start small and scale up as the operation grows:
Want your own app? It doesn't have to hit the App Store.
Here's what most people don't realize: an app can be built just for you. A private tool that lives only on your own devices — for you, your family, or your team — with no store listing, no reviews, no audience. Just something that does exactly what you want. (And if you do want to publish, I'm a registered Apple Developer and can take it all the way.)
A few I built for myself — to spark ideas of your own:
I built a private dashboard that pulls the things I check every day — systems, smart home, tasks — into one place, synced across my Mac and phone. Imagine yours.
A little app to bookmark exact moments in my shows — episode, timestamp, thumbnail, and a note. The kind of oddly specific tool no store app ever nails.
A tracker or catalog shaped around how you think about your collection, workouts, recipes, or projects — not how some generic app forces you to.
That specific calculator, converter, or one-tap workflow you keep wishing for. If you can describe it, I can probably build it.
How it works
1 · Bring your idea
Even a rough sketch or a "wouldn't it be cool if…" is enough to start. No spec required.
2 · See it take shape
I build a working prototype fast — so you can hold it and react, not just imagine it.
3 · It's yours
Keep it private on your own devices — or, as a registered Apple Developer, I'll take it all the way to the App Store. Your call.
