WHAT I BUILD ON MY OWN TIME · OGDEN, UTAH

Nights and
weekends.

I build software with AI, fast, then make it hold up.
One product is live with paying customers. Four are in development. Every entry below says which.

FLOWSTATE AI LIVE AS OF AUG 2026 FLOWSTATEAI.DEV →

AI gets you a prototype fast. FlowState is the structure that makes that code hold up in production.

“Shockingly different.” — Greg R., FlowState customer

  • ALLTHE PROJECTS BELOW BUILT WITH IT

What it is

Spec-driven structure for AI-written code.

The spec sets the contract, the gates check the work, and what fails a gate goes back to build — the loop drawn in the diagram below.

What I'm working on

It's in production with paying customers. Right now I'm refining it as issues surface.

What's next

Open source. No date set yet.

THE METHOD INSIDE ITWHAT FLOWSTATE ENFORCES

The loop FlowState enforces: write a spec, build fast with AI, then gate the work before it ships. Anything that fails a gate goes back to build.

What it is

Your body changes slowly. Your scale doesn’t.

Daily scale readings jump around and hide whether you're actually losing weight. Trendline shows the underlying trend instead. The guides and website are live now; the iPhone app is in development.

GUIDES + CONTENT SITE — LIVE AT TRACKTRENDLINE.APP

What I'm working on

The iPhone app. It tracks your weight and draws the trend for you.

What's next

The app on the App Store. No date set.

What it is

An AI-powered story OS for people who write for a living.

Web and mobile apps, both in development. The waitlist is open now at inkforge.ai.

WAITLIST — LIVE AT INKFORGE.AI

What I'm working on

First release. The waitlist hears first.

GAME STUDIO BUILDING AS OF AUG 2026

What it is

A family game studio.

I run it with my family. We're playtesting four concepts — Undercrown is one — and haven't committed to building any of them yet.

What I'm working on

Playtesting all four.

What's next

Deciding which one, if any, to build. A committed game gets its own panel.

FOUR CONCEPTS IN PLAYTESTING· NONE COMMITTED YET
THE FIFTH PROJECTDESIGN LOCKED FIRST · BUILD UNDERWAY
GAME THE WORLD BUILDING AS OF AUG 2026

What it is

A prediction game played over real news.

Players stake on how real events will resolve, and the game pays out when reality answers. The design was closed first — 17 decisions locked — then the build started.

What I'm working on

The engine. Staking, payouts, and the judges that resolve branches against real news sources.

What's next

The playable game on top of it. No date set.

THE BUILD LOGNIGHTS AND WEEKENDS

All of this gets built on nights and weekends, around the family, past the chickens. When something ships, I post it on X.

That’s the nights-and-weekends work. The day-job record is on the main site.
