What I'm Up To
MxUVisit
MxU is a platform that helps churches manage their volunteers. I'm the CTO so I get to work with a bunch of awesome people to ensure we are shipping high-quality features that impact our customer's in a positive way. Day to day I write a bunch of code, manage technical architecture, create implementation plans for other developers and advise our CEO on product matters. There's a good amount of non-technical work that I enjoy helping with as well. This includes everything from culture-setting to customer interviews to ensure that we stay on track with our customer's needs.
Notes ProVisit
Notes Pro is a project that a my co-founder and I thought up during my time as an IT leader in Church. The tool helps church staff and volunteers share weekly sermon notes and other content with their people. I created the tool from scratch using Ruby on Rails + Turbo / Hotwire, Stripe, TypeScript and a few other technologies. Most of my writing is about the process of building and maintaining this product.
Stack Digital
Coming Soon: My digital agency to implement digital solutions ranging from no-code automation to full-stack development.
