Words for the Day

A cinematic devotional for the quiet moments.

Built for the mornings I kept showing up with nothing to say. Each series has a name and a creature. Every day has narrated audio, an illustrated scene, and a journal prompt that actually goes somewhere. Offline-first. Cross-platform from a single codebase.

  • iOS + Android from one Expo codebase
  • AI-illustrated series artwork — original, not stock
  • Audio narration per reading
  • 3 reading skins: dark · warm · parchment
  • Personal journal with offline sync

Calderon Wellness

Wellness without boundaries — and without the overhead.

My wife runs a concierge wellness practice. She had a spreadsheet for clients, a calendar for appointments, and nothing that tied any of it together. This is what I built instead — a full practice management system with zero recurring SaaS cost.

  • Public site + online booking
  • Client portal with self-service scheduling
  • Custom CRM — no SaaS subscriptions
  • Treatment records with notes & attachments
  • Outreach campaigns with tracked delivery

HESI A2 Study Tool

Seven subjects. Five study modes. She passed.

My daughter tried the prep tools that existed. They were bad. I built her a better one — adaptive diagnostics, spaced repetition, interactive molecular visualizations, and an instructor dashboard so her professor could see who was ready before exam day.

  • 7 HESI A2 subjects — anatomy to vocabulary
  • Adaptive diagnostic builds personalized plans
  • Interactive molecular visualizations
  • 5 study modes including spaced repetition
  • Instructor dashboard with class analytics

Didactax

Enterprise learning infrastructure — built lean.

What does an enterprise LMS look like when built by one person who cares about the learning experience? Three roles, three dashboards. SCORM compliance for institutions, Stripe commerce for the market, AI generation for instructors — all in one codebase, none of it bolted on.

  • 3 roles: admin · instructor · student
  • Full SCORM compliance
  • Stripe-gated courses with free/paid tiers
  • AI course & content generation
  • QR-encoded credential exports

From the field

What clients say.

"We needed something built right, and fast — without being handed off to three different people who'd never talked to each other. What we got was better than we imagined, in half the time we expected."

Client Name Title · Company

"The kind of software quality that usually comes with a much larger invoice — delivered in weeks. Our team actually uses it, which says more than any spec sheet could."

Problems worth solving.

Not just tech builds — human experience problems that keep showing up. If one sounds like yours, we should talk.

  • 04.26 Why do students disengage the moment they feel stuck? Building a tutoring experience that reads the gap and closes it before they give up.
  • 04.26 Typing practice is boring. It doesn't have to be. A classroom tool that makes progress feel real — for students and teachers alike.
  • 03.26 Most AI policy pages change nothing about how people actually work. Rethinking what AI policy looks like when it's designed to be followed, not filed.

Why pay big-agency prices for big-agency wait times?

Founders, universities, and lean teams who need real software, real fast — without the overhead. Most projects run $5–15K and ship in weeks. Short email, quick call. Let's see if this fits.
