Website and Web App Developer Based in Chicago

I'm a web developer based in Chicago, working with small and medium sized businesses.Whether you need a full website, or something simple to save you time, or you have an idea that would help grow your business, I'm happy to help.Having been on the other side as a client before, I know how confusing software can be. So my goal is to provide you with the simplest options for what you're trying to accomplish.My approach to software is to build for the requirements of today while keeping in mind the possibilities of tomorrow's requirements. So whatever I build for you can be maintained and extended for years to come.I love simplifying complex problems and coming up with creative solutions, and this is probably what fundamentally makes me different from other developers.

Projects

All of my projects listed below were built with Ruby on Rails.

VibeTrack

VibeTrack is a scheduling tool designed for people that either prefer or need to meet in person. I came up with the concept as I prefer in-person meetings, and didn't see a scheduling tool that made it easy to meet with others in-person while permitting audio and video calls.

SnackDial

SnackDial is software for snack business owners (e.g. smoothies, yogurt, granola, etc...). I initially started building SnackDial for myself as I wanted to launch a yogurt company. As my skills grew while building the platform, I decided to focus my attention on it, until it became a robust solution that handles all the nuances of running and growing a non-restaurant food business.

Sauna.chat

Sauna.chat is a personal project of mine, meant to help you connect with people you know over better questions. It's a database of curated questions, prompts, and games. It also has features that help you connect with other people over the higher quality content.
