Projects

Two projects I'm actively building or advising on.

Zestow

Live

Founder & Engineer

Self-hosted home inventory for web and mobile.

Problem. Households lose track of what they own, what it's worth, and where it is, especially across moves and insurance claims. Existing inventory apps require trusting a third party with photos of everything you own.

Approach.

  • Built as a self-hosted alternative: the data and photos never leave infrastructure I control.
  • Blazor Server and Blazor Web front ends share a common REST API, letting the same account work from a browser or a phone.
  • Google, Facebook, and Apple OAuth plus JWT keep sign-in familiar without a custom identity system to maintain.

Operates on self-hosted infrastructure behind a Traefik reverse proxy with automated certificate renewal.

The Quilter's Closet

In development

Technical Advisor

A platform for quilters to organize patterns, fabric, and projects in progress.

Problem. Quilting is a project-based, materials-heavy hobby, and quilters currently track fabric stash, patterns, and in-progress projects across spreadsheets, notebooks, and memory.

Approach.

  • Advising on architecture and delivery planning as the founder builds toward launch.
  • Next.js front end paired with a Blazor Server backend, chosen to separate a fast, content-focused public site from an authenticated application layer.
