Rubiconetic

• One-person software studio. I do the product design, the architecture, the build, the store release, and the support calls after.
• Shipped Scanity to the iOS App Store and Google Play. It's an ingredient scanner that resolves additives through their E-numbers, trade names, and synonyms across 452,000+ products; originally built with React Native and Expo, then migrated to Swift and Skip.dev for Android.
• Built Scanity's data layer on USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts with nightly refreshes, and kept user data on the device rather than on a server.
• Building MacroMeso, a diet and training engine that pairs macro targets with mesocycle programming.
• Run the studio's backend on a self-hosted two-node Kubernetes (K3s) cluster managed through GitOps. Client-facing n8n webhooks go out through Cloudflare Tunnels with no open firewall ports, and every admin tool stays off the public internet.

Upwork

• Saved clients over $192K by delivering 200+ n8n automations, moving staff off repetitive work.
• Cut client onboarding time 73% with a deployed onboarding automation and custom dashboard.
• Migrated 15 Zapier Zaps to n8n, producing more robust and cost-effective workflows under client control.
• Built a Slack bot that securely triggers backend automations for content generation and data processing, saving ~81 labor hours per month.

United States Air Force (Reserve)

• Worked with unit stakeholders to put new personnel processes in place, which kept actions accurate and on schedule.
• Consistently exceeded assigned performance goals while serving part-time and moving into development full-time.

United States Air Force (Active Duty)

• Led teams of 8–12 technicians through avionics system assessments, troubleshooting, and repair.
• Earned the 7-level Craftsman rating, the Air Force's senior technical qualification for the career field.
• Managed logistics, tooling, and manpower for system assessments across concurrent aircraft.
• Briefed technical detail, project status, and objectives to team members and senior stakeholders.

Ingredient scanner for iOS and Android. Point it at a barcode and it resolves every additive through its E-numbers, trade names, and synonyms, then checks the result against the blocklist you built and gives you one verdict: Safe, Caution, or Danger. It covers 452,000+ products. There's no 0-100 score and there are no ads.

Swift, Skip.dev · scanityapp.com

Diet and training engine. It puts macro targets and mesocycle programming in the same loop, so your nutrition adapts to the training block instead of just sitting in a tracker next to it.

TypeScript, Svelte · macromeso.com

The studio's marketing site. It's pre-rendered all the way down, so there's no backend and no database. GSAP handles the motion through Svelte 5 attachments, and the hero and contact sections each run their own generative Canvas2D visual.
