What I Build
I write software to scratch my own itches, and those itches tend to involve hockey, improv comedy, and the ATProto/Bluesky ecosystem. Most of my work is in Ruby, JavaScript, and Electron. Here’s what I’m working on.
Mx. Voice
Audio software for improv shows
Site: mxvoice.app | Code: GitHub
The modern successor to Mr. Voice, the software that powered sound in dozens of ComedySportz clubs since 2000. Mx. Voice is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that makes finding and playing sound cues during improv shows as fast and reliable as possible.
Built with Electron, Electron Builder, Node.js, SQLite, WaveSurfer.js, Howler, Bootstrap, Playwright, and Vitest. Actively developed since 2000 in various forms — from the original Perl/Tk version to today’s Electron app.
Watch Party Games
Interactive games for NHL watch party events
A dual-window Electron application built for running interactive fan games at Carolina Hurricanes watch parties. Staff operate the Control window while fans see the Display window on a TV or projector.
Includes 14 interactive games — trivia, face-mashing NHL player headshots together, Family Feud-style faceoffs, raffles, bingo, prediction contests, and physical challenges like puck stacking. Integrates with the NHL API for automatic roster imports and team branding.
Built with Electron, Electron Builder, Anthropic, Express.js, WebSocket, ngrok, Firebase, the NHL API, Stream Deck, and Playwright. Designed for live event use by any NHL team, with dual-monitor support, game lifecycle management, and per-party configuration.
Rod The Bot
Live NHL game updates on Bluesky
A Bluesky bot that posts real-time game updates for NHL teams. Built to power @canesgameday.bsky.social, it monitors the NHL API and posts goals, penalties, period changes, and final scores as they happen.
Configurable for any NHL team. Runs via Docker with Redis for state management. The successor to a previous Twitter-based goal bot that was retired when that platform went sideways.
Built with Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, Redis, Bluesky, and the NHL API. Open source.
Carolina Hurricanes Custom Feed
A curated Bluesky feed for Canes fans
A custom ATProto feed generator that aggregates and curates posts about the Carolina Hurricanes from across Bluesky. Pulls Canes-related content out of the hockey timeline using keywords, hashtags (#LetsGoCanes, #RaiseUp), and account tracking.
Built with Sinatra, GoLang, OpenAI, Anthropic, Bluesky, Sidekiq, Redis, and PostgreSQL. Includes tooling for managing banned accounts, suspended account cleanup, and feed metadata updates via the ATProto API.
RosterFlash
Get alerted when your team’s lineup changes
A companion app to TeamSnap that sends you an alert when a teammate changes their availability close to game time. Know immediately if you need to adjust your lineup plans. Uses TeamSnap’s OAuth login for authentication.
Built with Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, and Redis.
Suggestion Ox
Anonymous feedback for organizations
The online suggestion box that makes it easy to find out what you’re not hearing before small problems become big problems. Trusted by over 50,000 companies, associations, and government agencies including Samsung, Hilton, and the US Air Force.
I’m the founder and CTO. Built with Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Sidekiq, Puma, AWS (EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, DynamoDB), Terraform, Ansible, and Mailgun.
