Innovation in Motion
I guide kayak tours on the Hillsborough River, in downtown Tampa and up at Crystal River. One guide, small trips, water I have paddled for years. I have also been building software since I was fourteen, which now means production apps with real users, the servers underneath them, and the booking system that takes the reservation for the tour.
Four things below. Two you book by the hour, one is me on your architecture for an afternoon, and one is software you can run your own business on. They sound unrelated. They are the same thing: an hour with somebody who has already done it gets you further than another week of reading, and you leave every one of them with something you did not have that morning.
Pick a path
On the water
from $55
Manatees at Crystal River in the winter. Alligators, turtles and cypress on the Hillsborough. Downtown Tampa from the river, which is a completely different city. I paddle the whole route with you, gear included on the river runs.
At the keyboard
from $75
Walk out with the bug dead and understood, a codebase you can navigate with confidence, or the app you have been circling broken down into a first week of work. We spend the hour on your actual code, not a tutorial's.
For founders and teams
from $175
The system rather than the bug. A second opinion on an architecture before you commit to it, a review of what you have already built, or the plan for the thing you have not started yet. Twenty-five years of shipping, pointed at your next decision for an afternoon, so it is the one that pays off for years.
Software you can buy
from $499
The booking system behind the two cards above, sold as a product. Turn missed messages into scheduled, paying clients: real availability so nobody books an hour you are already in, the card charged the moment the booking is made, confirmations by email and text, and a dashboard you control. The kayak and mentoring bookings on this page run on it.
