Past, Present and Future
30+ years of deploying groundbreaking milestones and pushing the envelope. Currently developing a growing portfolio of apps and services by applying decades of zero-to-one product experience with a variety of AI and digital production tools. Most of it is being produced through Bacon Cheese Frosting, my LLC. Some are still under wraps.
1995Video On Demand
Blockbuster on Demand was one of the first in-home trials of a long-promised concept called Video on Demand. Herein lies the tale of a true "zero-to-one" product deployment. We were tasked with delivering a full-featured consumer service offering using hardware that barely worked - if it existed at all.
BetaStorm Recon
Storm Recon is a proactive weather monitoring and avoidance route-plotting assistant for vehicle-dwelling travelers — RV owners, van-lifers, truck campers, and long-haul drivers. The app monitors approaching severe weather, calculates evacuation routes to safety, and recommends the best option with plain-English reasoning.
BetatraVERSUS
This anthology of three games are designed specifically for player-vs-player (PvP) gameplay over ad-hoc local networks created by the players. These games are meant to be played by passengers in a car, train, plane, etc. where players can be in close enough proximity to each other to form a private network.
BetaCows
Recreating the nostalgia of the classic road-trip cow counting game with some mobile enhancements like score-keeping, cow-tipping and flinging poo at your opponent. All the retro pixel-art, sound FX and programming were done with various AI tools. Part of the traVERSUS anthology of in-person PvP mobile games.
BetaQueen's Duel
A fast-playing, stripped down version of chess with a smaller board, magical power-ups, spells and detailed animated 3D characters. Part of the traVERSUS anthology of in-person PvP mobile games.
BetaFibber's Bluff
A game of truth or lie in which all players share a turn in the hot-seat trying to fool the rest into believing their story. The app is the moderator and scorekeeper, while the real gameplay is the players' ability to spin a convincing yarn. Part of the traVERSUS anthology of in-person PvP mobile games.
Now AvailableSimpleSignal
My brother and I had a simple app idea to use an iPhone as a color beacon so people can spot you in a crowd. Until few months ago, it required an expensive software engineer to build. I went from sketch to working iOS build in an afternoon on a $20 plan, thanks to AI.
Flight Rhythm
An exclusive white-glove assistant for the Apple Vision Pro focused on balancing work, entertainment and rest goals throughout your flight. You will look forward to "airplane mode".
KlokShop
From the Swedish word, "klok", meaning, "good judgement, sound reasoning and logical thinking". A private experiment in combining data science, the interest graph and AI to make a truly intelligent personal shopper.
