Student & Builder

CT
Hi, I'm Chris.

Graduate student in health administration. I build tools that keep school, work, and life in one place.

More about me

Most of what I build started as a problem of my own: keeping school, email, and my calendar straight, or wanting a clearer read on the stock market.

Some of it is live, some is still being built, and some is just planned. Each project below says which.

Projects

Tap a project for screenshots, the tools I used, and what I learned building it.

How I build

The same four steps for every project, whether it's a small fix or a whole new feature.

01

Plan

I write down what it should do and break the work into phases before any code gets written.

02

Build

I build the code one feature at a time and save a checkpoint in Git before big changes.

03

Test

Every change runs the full test suite and a check of the project's dependencies for known security issues.

04

Review

I read through what changed, look for bugs, old or new, and only move on once it's clean.

About me

I'm a graduate student studying health administration. Between school, work, and my personal life, I had things spread across too many apps and inboxes, and stuff kept slipping through. So I built my own assistant app to keep everything in one spot. That's where all of this started.

Once it was working for me, I turned its foundation into a starter kit, so other people can build their own version of an assistant that helps them keep their lives organized. Building has turned into something I do most days.

I'm self-taught. I learned the basics on a Mac: Python, the Terminal, VS Code, Git, and how to work with APIs. I build with the help of AI coding tools. I plan the features, test everything, review the changes, and decide what's ready. Reading and checking that code is how I've learned most of what I know.

I also take on freelance work under the name Brixly. That can be a website, but it doesn't have to be. If you have an idea for an app or a tool, I can help you plan it and build the foundation, so you have something real to start from instead of a blank page. I work with professional-grade AI coding tools, which lets me move quickly without skipping the testing and review.
