Automated Bitcoin & Gold futures trading. I built all 4 algos from scratch, with respective pairs in each to compliment short and long term biases in portfolio management. These were crafted by my own mental models, codified by various AI, and live in TradingView to observe market behavior. Alerts trigger web-hooks to a 3rd party 'Bridge' which then sends direct trading orders to my broker - Coinbase.

🔐 Secure, role-locked admin access — only the owner can manage the business.
I redesigned 6 Corners Dental Studio into a modern AI-powered platform that improves both the patient experience and the clinic's day-to-day operations.
Instead of creating a traditional marketing website, I built a complete digital solution that combines a guided appointment booking system, an AI concierge, a Smile Assessment, a Patient Portal, and a Staff Portal with connected workflows and automations.
Patients can easily explore treatments, book appointments, manage their accounts, and receive personalized guidance, while the clinic's staff can monitor appointments, patient activities, notifications, messages, and other daily operations from one centralized dashboard.
The goal was to create a solution that saves time, improves communication, and demonstrates how AI and automation can provide real value for a local business.
Key Features
- AI Concierge for patient support and FAQs
- Smart multi-step appointment booking
- Patient Portal with account creation and appointment management
- Staff Portal with live dashboard and activity tracking
- Smile Assessment with personalized recommendations
- Real-time notifications and patient activity feed
- Responsive design across desktop, tablet, and mobile
- Connected automations for bookings, reminders, patient management, and - - Staff notifications
Business Impact
This project helps reduce repetitive administrative work while making it easier for patients to book appointments, access information, and communicate with the clinic. Every important interaction is reflected in the Staff Portal, allowing the clinic to manage operations from a single platform.
Implemented automations include:
- Appointment booking confirmation
- Patient account creation
- Staff notifications
- Activity tracking
- AI lead capture
- Smile Assessment workflow
- Appointment reminders
- Patient management updates

don't forget to showcase the before too!
A successful business shouldn't lose time to successful growth.
That's exactly what happened to Riley Taylor Tattoo Studio.
My lifelong friend Andrea and her partner Fernando have built an incredible reputation. More clients meant more inquiries, more consultations, more bookings—and more time spent answering the same questions, collecting reference images, coordinating appointments, and managing conversations across Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, email, and phone.
I built Riley Taylor Studio OS—a complete operating system for the studio.
Instead of scattered conversations, every client now follows one structured journey:
• Discover the studio through a modern, mobile-first website.
• Submit a detailed consultation instead of endless message threads.
• Receive confirmations, reminders, booking updates, and aftercare automatically.
• Track the entire process through a dedicated client portal.
• Get instant answers from an AI Studio Concierge before waiting for a human response.
On the studio side, the transformation is even bigger.
Instead of manually piecing together conversations from multiple platforms, every request arrives in one dashboard, already organized and ready for review. AI summarizes consultations, artists prepare quotes, manage bookings, update request status, and keep everything moving from a single Studio OS.
The result isn't just a better website.
It's fewer repetitive conversations.
Less administration.
Better communication.
A smoother client experience.
And, most importantly, more time for Andrea and Fernando to do what they love: create incredible tattoos.
This is exactly why I love building software—not because technology is exciting, but because the right system quietly gives people their time back.
