Writing novels takes most of my working hours. But I also write code. Here's a quick rundown of the tools and apps I've shipped alongside the books.
WhatSphere
WhatSphere is an audience analytics platform I built to answer a question that kept coming up as I talked to other writers: who actually reads which genres?
Not the broad strokes — the real demographic and psychographic data, broken down by genre and subgenre. Writers, publishers, and studios use it to understand their audiences so marketing decisions are based on data instead of gut feel.
DecodeGov
DecodeGov turns raw federal spending data into something a person can actually read. Enter a ZIP code and see where your tax dollars go, compare your salary across two cities adjusted for cost of living, and check local air quality — all from public government APIs I've spent considerable time learning to speak.
Swiss Army Dev
Swiss Army Dev is 37 developer utilities running on Cloudflare Workers. Everything runs client-side or in V8 isolates with no server logging — because after watching JSONFormatter leak 80,000 files' worth of developer credentials, I needed tools I could trust.
All three are live and free to use. If any of them are useful to you, let me know.
