About

I grew up building things. My love for software runs deep - my grandfather helped build the IBM 370 in the 1970's, and I learned to type on a DOS laptop the size of a briefcase. Breaking with family tradition, I spent my 20's on movie sets and in advertising agencies. I learned how people communicate, how they work, and how to build meaningful connections. After another 8 years in technical support roles, the Age of AI dawned, and suddenly I can solve problems virtually overnight which had previously been beyond reach. This clarity focused my current passion: reducing cognitive load, by making things smarter and more intuitive. By day, I'm a tech ops engineer now. I make life better for my colleagues. By night, I build apps that solve problems and make life more enjoyable for everyone.

Toft - Every house has history. Toft keeps the papers to prove it.

Your house is the most expensive thing you own, and its history lives in a kitchen drawer, an old inbox, and your memory. When the water heater fails, you can't say how old it is. When you sell, buyers have to take your word for years of good care. When you move, it all leaves with you. Toft is where that history lives instead: every repair, warranty, and contractor, written down as it happens. So you know what's coming, buyers can see the value, and the next owner starts with the full record.
