Things I’ve made

16 apps, experiments, and side quests — some shipped, some just for the fun of it.

2023

Remote work is the future, but current tools to support it are lacking (a green dot ain’t it).

poolparty.social explores how working remotely might help teams or groups feel more together when they work or hangout apart.

Built with WebSocket and WebRTC, poolparty.social allows teams to feel more human when sharing their webcam. Users can hide their webcam but still remain present as face tracking makes their avatar feel more alive and 3D positional audio increases and decreases volume and pan as users move around from one another.

Sage Brain

2019

A tool for brain health and mental well-being.

Logo and web design, product wireframes, requirements and development.

Virtual Keyboard

2018

Typing in virtual reality is tough when you can’t see your hands or the keyboard.

So how do you do it?

The Virtual Keyboard was a quick exploration into seeing what it would take to bring our beloved keyboard into VR. Created the true scale, 3D model. Designed a custom 3D printed mount for a Leap Motion and Vive Tracker and then mounted it all on a physical keyboard to type away.

Epic (opens the live site in a new tab)

2017

Epic lets you create titled collections of photos and videos that never disappear. Epics.

Kind of like Snapchat and Instagram stories except they’re permanent and you can have multiple. A sort of Pintrest for life.

Collaboration with the amazing Bryan Sleiter.

2012

Pokki is a free extension I help build at SweetLabs, Inc.. Provided an app-like interface for Windows computers (if you can imagine a time before the Windows Store).

Generated $60M+ in revenue and grew to 60M+ users worldwide enabling SweetLabs to attain partnerships with the world’s top mobile and PC device manufacturers including Lenovo, Huawei, Acer, HP, and Toshiba.

2011

Buskly is an online stage for talented people to broadcast and connect with their audience in realtime. I pitched the idea at Startup Weekend San Diego where it went on to win second place.

TouchSee (opens the live site in a new tab)

2011

Video chronicling my first prototype of a vibrotactile feedback sensing system I call Touchsee. Touchsee utilizes Micrsoft’s Kinect, an Arduino, and Daniel Shiffman’s Kinect library for Processing. The aim of a VFSS is to enhance an agent’s perception of body schema in tool use where the agent’s own senses are occluded by use of the tool itself.
