Selected work

Engineering the product, not just the screen.

A modern flight bag, my own iPhone app, and creative editing tools used at scale. Details stay intentionally high-level where the work is private.

Ascent EFB

Building a modern electronic flight bag for pilots: flight planning, weather briefing, and a fast, uncluttered moving map on iPad and iPhone.

Challenge
Give pilots a modern EFB that stays fast and clear while charts, weather, and flight-critical data share one map.
Contribution
Leading iOS from architecture to release: the moving map and rendering, flight planning and weather flows, chart downloads, and performance.
What stayed with me
Pilots judge software in seconds. Speed and clarity on the map matter more than any feature list.

Independent iPhone app · Designer & developer · 2026—Now

Usages

A private iPhone dashboard for AI coding usage: quota windows, reset times, tokens, and cost from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and four more, with a focus timer, widgets, and Live Activities.

Challenge
Turn eight providers with very different, often undocumented usage APIs into one honest dashboard, without a server in between.
Contribution
Everything end to end: product and pixel design system, UIKit architecture, widgets and Live Activities, local persistence, App Store releases, and the website.
What stayed with me
Trust is a feature. Keeping credentials on the phone and labeling estimates as estimates mattered more than any chart.

Creative editing tools at scale

Helped take a template creation experience from zero to one, with a focus on rendering, modularity, and predictable state.

Challenge
Help creators move from an idea to a reusable video template without exposing rendering complexity.
Contribution
Template workflow, state architecture, SDK modularity, feature isolation, and debugging.
What stayed with me
Creative tools feel simple only when their state model is explicit and their feedback is immediate.
