Internet builder since the dial-up days

About

I've been working in the internet space since before the visual web, helping to build the foundational elements of the internet that billions use today. I was part of the founding teams that launched some of the first commercial internet service providers and commerical websites in the US. I've had a hand in developing innovative products that were ahead of their time, like the first cross-domain shopping cart cited by Amazon in their patent and developing for mobile since the iPhone 1. I've worked on things used by billions. This one's for the guy running 40 lawns out of his truck. This account is for my solo projects. When I'm not working, and sometimes when I am, you can (try to) find me somewhere exploring something in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Yard Desq - Built for solo landscapers whose office is a truck

After watching a landscaper stand in blistering heat searching for a client's number on a piece of paper, I built a solution. First in my head on the flight home. Yard Desq gives solo landscapers clean client records, a daily job list, one-tap payment requests via Venmo/Zelle/Cash App, and seasonal hold management - all in their pocket before they pull up to the property. $9.99/mo. Try free for 30 days. Switch to native Spanish in one tap. Not Google Translate. Actually translated.
