Designed a Presenter tab for teleprompter use: your speaker notes fill the screen and the keyboard drives the deck, while each slide and step switches the OBS scene as you advance.
Dekker decks now run inside OBS as a transparent browser source, fed from a local server that answers only the presenter's own machine. Each piece shipped only after an independent reviewer tried to break it with live attacks and reload tests, and every review caught something worth fixing.
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.
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.
