Found that members' prayers had never moved a request's prayer count: a database rule silently blocked the update. Fixed it and recounted, so requests showing 1 now show the 3 to 8 people who actually prayed.
Members can now delete their own prayer requests from the prayer wall. It asks first, only the author sees the option, and the server checks ownership before anything is removed.
Rebuilt every ChurchScroll email on one shared layout that matches the site, with its logo, navy and gold. Since Gmail files the welcome under Promotions, new members now get a note in their hub telling them where to look.
Traced why email signups never got a welcome or referral credit: with confirmation off, they never passed the step that did that work. Moved it into one shared routine, so every new member is signed straight in and set up on arrival.
Design vocabulary, round two. A 99-agent research pass on what a live-composited deck should inherit from a brand's design system, with every candidate stress-tested against four delivery paths and a three-angle kill panel, then an independent critic who caught the panel using a test the brief forbids. Re-judged on the fair tests: 25 declarations, and the first measured evidence that colour alone buys 96% of what the current engine can express.
Where This Is Heading
What's Cooking
Several things at once, as usual:
- AI systems and automation that take repetitive work off people's plates
- Websites and web apps that ship and do what they're supposed to
- Building out entertainment spaces with live sound and light systems
- There have been a bunch of tools that started as a personal experiment and ended up solving a real problem for a real client
- I've been playing in a brand-new space for me — ARGs — Stay tuned for more
On the surface, those don't have much in common. But the same instincts that make a live show run smoothly are the ones that make a software system hold together under pressure. The people I work with get the benefit of all of it, and it's a whole lot of fun.
The Endgame
Same pattern as always, just covering more ground.
Decades across sales training, military service, and enterprise technology will do that. The focus has shifted hard into AI development over the last couple of years, and it's been a hell of a ride so far.
People come back to work with me and bring friends because something got solved, something shipped, and they've got more problems worth solving.
The work itself:
- AI and automation has moved past experimentation — it's running for real clients, on real deadlines, giving people huge amounts of time back in their week
- The sound and lighting work is still a blast — years on stage before I ever stood behind a board means the people performing get someone who knows what it feels like from both sides
- My friends and clients who get things solved keep coming back with more challenges and bringing new friends along that often become new clients.
No master plan. But the pattern holds, the range keeps expanding, and something useful comes out the other side.
