Workshop
What I'm tinkering with, building in the open, and learning from. Not everything ships — and that's the point.
Currently Building
Active projects in various stages of development.
Personal Health Engine
A system that syncs Whoop data, continuous glucose monitor readings, and food logging to build personalized nutrition and recovery recommendations.
Why: I got tired of generic health advice. I want to know what MY body does with the food I eat, correlated with MY sleep and recovery data. So I'm building the thing that connects all the dots.
The Story
The first piece is a data pipeline — pulling recovery, strain, and sleep data from the Whoop API, then correlating it with food logs and CGM glucose readings. The goal is a personal dashboard that shows cause-and-effect: what I ate, how I slept, how I recovered, and what patterns emerge over time. Starting with my own data before thinking about multi-user.
Progress
- Whoop API integration for recovery and strain data
- Data correlation engine design in progress
- Personal dashboard wireframes complete
StoryCard
The evolution of ChristmasStoryCard into a year-round platform for personalized story-driven cards, with physical QR-code cards that bridge the digital and physical.
Why: Christmas Story Card proved the concept. Now I'm expanding it to every occasion: weddings, baby announcements, Father's Day, sympathy. All with physical cards that link to digital stories.
The Story
The Christmas version validated that people want personalized AI-generated stories with voice narration. The next step is a multi-occasion platform with a template system, so each card type (wedding, baby, sympathy) has its own story prompts and design. Exploring physical cards with QR codes that link to the digital story — bridging the tangible and the digital.
Progress
- Multi-occasion template system designed
- QR-to-digital card flow prototyped
- Physical card vendor research underway
The Shelf
Projects that taught me something even though they didn't make it. Every shelf project has a lesson worth sharing.
Summit Habit Tracker
A goal-oriented habit tracking app with daily tracking, progress visualization, and gamification elements.
What I Learned
Solving your own problem is necessary but not sufficient — you also need a reason why YOUR version should exist when 50 others already do. The gamification patterns I explored fed directly into Biblical Battle Plans, so the work wasn't wasted.
Got a Problem That Won't Leave You Alone?
That's usually how the best projects start. Tell me about it.
