I want to build things that outlast me. Software that keeps helping people long after I've stepped away from the keyboard. The best technology is the kind you don't have to think about. It just works, it respects you, and it makes your life a little better without asking for anything in return.
Guardian Systems · A school safety and communication ecosystem. The tools schools already use for daily announcements should be the same ones they reach for in an emergency. On-premise AI, real-time alerts, zero student data in the cloud.
The Alani Jones Foundation · Helped bring this foundation to life from the beginning. Built the brand, the website, a SwiftUI grief journal app (private, iCloud-synced, no accounts), and a merch storefront where proceeds go back to supporting families through loss.
Varden · A property management platform that makes renting less painful for everyone involved. Digital leases, automated rent collection, maintenance tracking. Web and mobile.
I run Sovereign Creative Agency with some brilliant people. We're small on purpose because it's easier to actually care about every project that way. We build for small businesses doing real work: Harold's Chicken, Journey Live Productions, Woke Sea Moss, Stitch Please, Casa Grande, Wright Choice Limo. If you're doing something that matters, we want to help you look like it.
I keep coming back to a few things: apps that work offline, interfaces that feel like they were designed by humans for humans, and privacy as a default, not a premium feature. I obsess over the details. The way a transition feels, how a button responds to your tap, whether the experience makes you feel held or just processed.
I also believe cultural preservation deserves the same engineering effort we throw at ad platforms, and that technology can support mental health instead of destroying it.
If your project puts people before profit, we should talk.
