Now
What I’m building and exploring.
A working snapshot of what has my attention. It is not a status report, and it changes.
Updated November 4, 2026.
Building
- Zap Cooking: an open social cooking platform with recipes, community, AI, and Bitcoin payments.
- Zap Books: privacy-first accounting software, currently in private beta.
- LoopSignal: manufacturing problem-solving software that keeps evidence, actions, and learning connected.
- Grateful Day: a small daily practice for gratitude and reflection.
- Nostr Valley: the annual Nostr and Bitcoin gathering in State College, Pennsylvania, which I co-founded.
Talking
- Connection: a podcast about food, people, ideas, building, and gratitude, presented by Zap Cooking.
Thinking about
- How simple a tool can be while still respecting the person using it.
- Where AI should help and where a person should still decide.
- What manufacturing floors teach software builders about systems.
