A statewide sports-rating engine, playoff simulator, and live tournament toolkit for Oregon high school tennis. Four years of data, four original rating models, built end to end as one self-contained system.

Occupant Indices

Public measurement infrastructure I built for the AI economy. Three live indices — a price tag for compute, an activity meter, and a labor gauge — rebuilt daily from public sources, so anyone can read the AI market cold and act on it.

PDX Spend

For each of seven Portland-area voter-approved funds, what it could pay for at its current balance, what’s blocking that, and who controls the lever.

Draft Lab

A comparative research instrument for sports draft lottery design. Fifteen rule systems run through Monte Carlo seasons across six pro leagues, measuring what each one actually rewards.

Viperball

Viperball stats terminal showing 2026 CVL Season overview

An invented gridiron sport with its own rulebook, a probability engine that plays it, a 280-team universe to play it in, and a Bloomberg-terminal-style stats portal serving the whole thing.

O27 Baseball

A baseball variant compressed into one continuous 27-out half-inning per side. Built out as a full simulation engine, recalibrated stat suite, league economy, and a live web app.

You Go First

A speculative dating-app concept built around scarcity, transparency, and portable trust. Fifteen picks a week, three visible tiers, no swiping. Built end-to-end: protocol design, prototype, brand bible, marketing site, strategy deck.

Glowrm

Trust infrastructure for ATProto social applications. Cross-app reputation, shared moderation, and a configurable resource-allocation system — the trust plumbing YGF and two other reference apps were designed against.
