Selected Projects

The Willows Inn

2017 - 2023

Description: I developed a restaurant and hotel booking, inventory, POS, and CRM system for the Willows Inn, a world-rated fine dining restaurant on Lummi Island.

Status: The restaurant and hotel ceased operations; the software itself was completed and in use.

Technological notes: Python.

Phocuswright

2014-2017

Description: I was the principal web application developer for Phocuswright, including through its acquisition by Northstar Travel Media. This covered their conference and event sites and the ecommerce webstore selling their research products for the travel industry.

Status: Completed and handed over.

Technological notes: Ruby.

DrillersDashboard

2014-2016

Description: A far-ranging project for a company that is since defunct. We installed telemetry and analysis tools on remote mineral exploration drilling rigs, collecting data and uploading it over Iridium satellite links from anywhere in the world. The web side was a dashboard used by managers to compare performance between crews on a rig, looking at how drilling parameters such as hardness, RPM, and pressure affected results in different rock strata.

Status: Company ceased operations; the software itself was completed and in use.

Technological notes: Python, C, and Clojure, with satellite telemetry plumbing.

Recent work

2017-present

Since the Willows Inn, I have taken on a steady stream of smaller engagements: custom WordPress builds and integrations with external services, maintenance and rescue work on existing applications, and occasional development help, much of it in collaboration with Cascade Computer Consulting.
