Web design, automation and AI. Built to run without me.
Creative Web Designer and Full-Stack Developer
Forcewalker · Ontario, Canada
I design and build websites and web products, and I fix bugs in other people's codebases.
I have many years with computers, and a strong desire to make things right so everyone can use them with ease and comfort.
I push my creativity as far as it will go. I want the work that challenges my skill and my expertise. I do not stop at the first thing that works, and I never stop learning.
I work on what you want built. I will also analyze what you already have, or give you an opinion on your website or your program, and tell you plainly what I find.
Most of what I do is website work. I design the site and I build it, and what I hand you is yours to keep and to move wherever you want.
Bug work has its own shape. I take confirmed, reproducible bugs at a fixed price agreed before I start. The deliverable is a pull request with a passing test and a written explanation of what was actually wrong. If a bug is not reproducible yet, I will say so before you pay me anything.
Since March 1st I have tested myself by building several servers, running DirectAdmin, and much more. I have built many things myself, including Helix.
Reach out if you have an idea or anything to build. We can discuss it and see if I am able to build it.
Pull requests merged into Nimbalyst, an Electron and TypeScript desktop application. The work covered React state handling, session list rendering, markdown and frontmatter rendering, image loading from git worktrees, permission prompts, spellchecker configuration and IPC documentation.
Things you can open right now.
A website you build yourself and actually own. You can leave with it.
A live caption overlay for people who type instead of speak. Your words go up on the screen as you write them, so a hearing room can follow you in real time.
Turns a video into a GIF in the browser. It solves for a size limit rather than making you guess at one, so the file you get is the file that will actually upload.
A public status page for the AntGlow services, checked on a schedule and served from the edge.
A pet care business I ran for over ten years, first in Toronto and then in London. I designed, built and maintained the site, and did its SEO. It lands on the first page of Google for local pet care searches, often at the top of the list. Most new clients arrived through search rather than paid advertising.
Being built now. No sign-up, nothing to buy yet.
Several other products are in progress. They get listed here when they run, not when they are planned.
Small pieces built to show a technique, and tools I am testing in the open.
A chat agent I built and named. It knows one subject and nothing else. It runs outside the systems it answers about, so it cannot disclose them, and every reply is checked against a forbidden-term list before it reaches the reader. It tells you it is an AI. It does not pretend otherwise.
The one on this page knows my work: what I have built, what I can build, and how long I have been doing this. It is in the bottom right corner. Ask it anything, or read the full history on my LinkedIn.
