A working studio. Real tools.

Some for clients, some for my kids, some for me. In the age of agents, the smallest possible audience for a piece of software is one.

Twenty years in marketing and product seats — Disney, Capitol, Nokia, American Express, 1stdibs. Most of that work was about making complex systems serve real people who weren't being served well.

In late 2024 I started building software again. Not commissioning it — writing it. A senior operator paired with an agent that doesn't get tired turned out to be the piece I'd been waiting for since the first Wired in 1994.

The theory

Small software, made on purpose

The work is small. A CLI that scans my Gmail accounts for financial emails I might miss. A Chrome extension that camouflages my lunch hour. A supply-chain news platform for a logistics company my brother and I are shareholders in.

A Python game I wrote with my older daughter. A memory-care app I'm shipping with a startup I help run. Most of these have exactly one user — and that's the point.

If you want to talk about commissioning work, I do that through madgood.co. If you want to see what I'm building this week, you're in the right place — it's the listing below, straight from GitHub.
