INDEPENDENT BUILDS · SALES-FRAMED · BUILT ALONGSIDE QUOTA

Technical Builds.
Sales Outcomes.

Builds framed around business impact, workflow thinking, and practical technical fluency.

Independent builds, made on personal time alongside a full sales quota, to understand the products and workflows I sell.

Each one is framed around business impact and buyer conversations rather than presented as a coding exercise.

To review my performance as an AE, visit the Experience & Results or explore my Technical Fluency.

Independent learning projects, not client work. Built on personal time alongside a full sales quota — evidence of product fluency and learning velocity, not paid engagements. Nothing here was built for a client.

Commercial Systems

Software built to understand the workflows behind modern GTM — CRM, quoting, and lead intelligence. These are private repositories, so the evidence is the design decision rather than a demo you can click.

  • In use (personal)Private case study

    Single-Operator Sales CRM

    Compliance should be enforced where the data is written, not only where the user clicks.

    A single operator running outbound has to choose between a CRM that does not know about their phone system and a phone system that does not know about their pipeline. The gap between them is where call outcomes go unlogged and where compliance quietly stops being enforced.

  • ArchivedPrivate case study

    Guided Selling & Quoting Workspace

    A concession is a trade, not a gift.

    Discounting is the least governed part of most sales processes. A rep under pressure gives away margin because the system lets them, and the concession buys nothing in return because nobody asked it to. The failure is not the discount, it is that the discount was unconditional.

  • In use (personal)Private case study

    Outbound Lead & Territory Intelligence

    Customer fit and purchase intent are different signals.

    Prospecting tools return one number. A single score cannot distinguish an ideal-profile account that is not currently in market from a poor-fit account that is actively buying, and those two situations call for completely different actions — so a seller working from one score works from the wrong information roughly half the time.

Public Proof You Can Inspect

Deployed and readable. If you would rather check the work than take a summary on trust, start here.

Sales ToolNo-Code BuilderWidget Platform

No-code widget builder with live preview and branded HTML embed export.

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Proves I can build for the same non-technical audience I sell to — with firsthand understanding of embed workflows, API integrations, and brand-consistency UX.

Built for
A non-technical marketer who needs an embeddable widget without a developer.
Key decision
Live preview beats a config form: if the output is visible while you edit it, most of the documentation problem disappears.

Proves: I can take a workflow a customer struggles with and remove the step that requires a specialist.

Market ReferenceLivePublic demo

AI Master Reference Guide

AIMarket ResearchReference

Browsable competitive survey of 66 AI tools across 8 categories.

Sales Relevance

A candidate who has independently surveyed the market he wants to sell into is doing what a good AE does in week one.

Built for
Anyone trying to evaluate AI tooling across categories rather than one vendor at a time.
Key decision
Treat it as market research that happens to be a web app. The value is the deduplicated category structure, not the interface over it.

Proves: I map the competitive landscape of a market before selling into it. CLAUDE.md names AI tools as a target vertical, and this is that homework done unprompted.

Data ModelingLivePublic demo

Rhyme Book — 24-Domain Knowledge Graph

Data ModelingSchema DesignReference

Knowledge graph across 24 domains with 1,475 records and typed relations.

Sales Relevance

Data modeling is what makes a CRM conversation credible. This is the public instance of it.

Built for
Writers needing cross-domain reference, and — more usefully here — any reader wanting to check whether the data-modeling claims elsewhere on this site are real.
Key decision
Validate against a schema rather than trusting the records. A cross-linked graph with 1,500 hand-entered entities fails silently without validation, and silent failure in a reference tool is worse than no tool.

Proves: The only public, clickable evidence of schema discipline and data modeling. Everything else of that kind is in private repositories a recruiter cannot open.

LogiMap Ultimate

Code SampleReactFrontend

Visual shortcut mapper for two Logitech devices, readable end to end.

Sales Relevance

The five-minute code sample. It exists so a technical evaluator can verify the code is tidy without reading a large repository.

Built for
Owners of a Logitech G502 or G915 — and, on this site, a technical reviewer who wants a code sample they can finish reading.
Key decision
Keep it small enough to be read in one sitting. No backend, no state library, no dependencies beyond React and the router — the whole thing is roughly 36 KB of TypeScript.

Proves: Every other project here asks a reviewer to trust a summary. This one can be read end to end, which is what a skeptical technical reviewer actually wants.

Supporting and Creative Systems

Real builds that are not the argument. Several of the techniques above were learned here, and they stay because removing them would overstate how linear the path was.

Nothing in this group matches the current filter. Choose “All” to see every build.

Also built

Smaller builds, listed for range rather than argued for.

  • FL Studio Master Hub — Searchable plugin database, workflow chains, and AI assistant for FL Studio producers.
  • MPK Command Center — Browser-based MIDI integration that maps real-time hardware controls to FL Studio.
  • Studio Writing Hub — 7-stage AI-assisted pipeline from raw idea to published content — fully structured.
  • JaZeR Website — JAMstack personal brand site with headless CMS, SSR, and type-safe content models.

What I’d build for your team

Practical tools, built alongside quota.

I build practical tools to understand product workflows, technical systems, AI-assisted execution, and the business context behind modern sales conversations.

That means I can ask better technical discovery questions before the right specialist joins — credibly, from firsthand experience.
