Capabilities

Four ways the work shows up

From a single landing page to a full-stack product with three API integration philosophies. Each capability has a pillar of evidence below.

/ 01

Web + Mobile Apps with APIs

Paired mobile + web products that share data through REST, GraphQL, or SOAP. Three integration philosophies, three case studies, three real products.

Pillar 1 of 4

Web + Mobile Apps with API Integration

Three paired products, same idea, two surfaces each, three deliberately different integration philosophies. SOAP signs every envelope. GraphQL flows over websockets. REST uses idempotency keys.

Meridian

Private banking · "Returns measured in decades."

SOAP + WS-Security

Onyx + brushed gold, editorial serif. The mobile app signs every envelope with WS-Security; the web app reads the same signed payloads but renders them as a quarterly statement. Trust-grade integration for clients who measure performance in decades.

Heat

Strength training · "Week 4 of 12. Keep going."

GraphQL + WebSockets

White + coral, condensed display type. The phone runs your rest timer offline; the web app shows the live gym leaderboard streaming over a GraphQL subscription. Same schema, two surfaces, instant updates the moment anyone finishes a set.

9:41 Bramble FORAGED & DELIVERED · SF M Mussels Marinière CASA LUME · 22 MIN $24 ★ 4.8 C Cassoulet de Toulouse CHEZ MARIE · 35 MIN $32 ★ 4.9 Order #7B-4421 ETA 18 MIN Order placed 17:42 · IDEMPOTENT In the kitchen 17:48 · CASA LUME Out for delivery 18:04 · NIA ON BIKE bramble.delivery Tonight in the Mission 12 KITCHENS OPEN · DELIVERY IN 25 MIN M Mussels Marinière CASA LUME · 22 MIN $24 C Cassoulet CHEZ MARIE · 35 MIN $32 T Tagliatelle al Ragù NONNA AGOSTI · 28 MIN $26 POST /orders · IDEMPOTENCY-KEY: 7B-4421 · ONE TAP = ONE ORDER, EVER

Bramble

Food delivery · "Foraged tonight. Delivered in 25."

REST + Idempotency Keys

Off-white + sage, classical serif. The phone places an order with an idempotency key the moment your thumb hits "Order"; the web app shows the same order moving through the kitchen on a live timeline. Network hiccups won't double-bill. Classical typography over a sage palette.

Same product, two surfaces, three different integration philosophies.
Pillar 2 of 4

A featured production kiosk plus two proof-of-concept demos. Restaurant POS, cinema booking, and a luxury car configurator. Designed for fingertips, deep data modeling, no kiosk-mode UX clichés.

Pillar 3 of 4

How We Work

How we work together.

Engagements move fast and stay transparent. You'll know what's being built, what's deferred, and why.

01

Discover

A focused conversation about goals, constraints, and what success looks like.

02

Define

Scope, architecture, and timeline agreed in writing before code gets written.

03

Deliver

Iterative builds with weekly checkpoints. Progress you can see, not status reports.

04

Support

Documentation, handoff, and optional retainer for ongoing work.

Approach
Software mastery isn't about collecting frameworks like trophies, it's about understanding the patterns that make great products work.
— John Fox, The Blulantern

One person, full ownership

You're not handed off between sales, account management, and a junior dev. You work with me, directly, from kickoff to delivery.

Strategy meets execution

Most consultants either build things or talk about building things. I do both which means recommendations come with working code.
