What I’ve built

Snapbar is where I spend my days. YouTube and my open-source Claude Code workflows are where I show my work. Before Snapbar, I co-founded the Pacific Northwest’s largest collegiate hackathon, was an engineer at two San Francisco startups that were later acquired, and founded a software agency for real estate brokerages. I also build homes from the ground up.
