## What he does

He is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat. On the side he builds software, ships it on the open internet, and leaves the source on GitHub. Through Telep IO — a solo side studio, not a full-time employer — he does the same for other people. The latest thing live is BarkMarks. The thing he is building toward is telep.tools.

This is a side gig: clients get him, not a ticket queue.

Four kinds of work, all running somewhere:

1. Products — small apps with one job.
2. Developer tools — paste something in, get something useful out. No sign-up, no tracking.
3. Live data — weather, mortgage rates, and launch feeds, proxied and printed in a terminal.
4. Sites for others — stand up and manage websites for other businesses and organizations (Alpha11 Veterans, Telep Remodeling).

Process: shape it, build it, launch it.

## Products and projects

Newest first. Green/live is shipped. Amber is being built.

### BarkMarks — live (2026, latest)

Know when the dog will bark. Search a movie or show and get a bark grade (Quiet to Full Bark), timestamps for the on-screen triggers (doorbells, other dogs, howls, squeaky toys), and where it streams — so you can mute or step out before the dog ruins the night. No account needed to browse.
