Origin story

I was originally hired in 2020 to design an ambulance dealership's website. Over the last six years, the role grew significantly until I was effectively operating as a one-person IT, engineering, and marketing department.

ARV and NWEV both grew substantially during my tenure. Because of the autonomy I was given as the sole developer for both brands, I've had the unique opportunity to plan, build, and ship software end-to-end without waiting for standard approval chains.

The central piece of this is Home Base — an internal platform I recently built from scratch in roughly two months to replace our shop floor workflows and eventually Salesforce. It currently handles our work orders and inspections, with CRM and quoting modules in development. I've also built extensions like Bolts (an embedded AI assistant) and Ripple (a video platform for internal training).

What I'm working on now

At work: still expanding features on Home Base. My most recent focus has been Bolts, an AI assistant designed to help the shop floor by explaining workflows or handling routine actions directly in the app.

On my own time: Hobby Hell (a horror game set in a haunted craft store, because nobody else was going to make it), FiveM mods under fruitmob, and this portfolio site.

What I'm interested in

Next.js and the React ecosystem. AI tooling — both using LLMs in products (Bolts) and using them to build faster (this site was built with Claude). Game development in Unity. FiveM modding. Maker culture generally — I like building things that people actually use, whether that's an enterprise platform or a skateboard mod for a GTA server.

Fun facts

• • The name “Workshed” is a Bruce Campbell reference. If you know, you know.
• • I earned a Salesforce Lightning Superbadge, and now I'm building the platform that's replacing it.
• • My most popular open source project is a shop robbery system for a GTA V roleplay server.
