Builds — real products, shipped

Anyone can talk about AI. I ship working software.

Before you trust someone with your business, ask what they've actually built. Games, software, and tools with real-world connectivity — built end to end. Here's a flagship build, broken down.

Flagship build · Game

Flight School

Preview — not playable here

Why this matters for you: if I can build a working flight simulator from scratch, I can build whatever your growth actually needs — the store, the tool, the agent fleet. This is proof, not a hobby.

A flight simulator that actually teaches you to fly — built from scratch in vanilla JavaScript, no game engine. Walk an explorable pixel-art flight academy, study, buy aircraft, then fly a faithful Garmin G1000 glass cockpit on a real energy-based flight model. Five aircraft, live air traffic, a working logbook.

Under the hood · Live data

Real airports. Real traffic. Pulled live from the sky.

The in-game ATC tower isn't faked. It calls public aviation APIs in real time and paints actual aircraft over real runway geometry — the same data feeds professional flight trackers use.

Realistic flight physics

An energy-based flight model with stall buffet, yaw, wind and atmosphere — validated by a 105-check automated test suite against the real Cessna 172S POH.

📡

Real-world connectivity

The ATC tower radar pulls live ADS-B air traffic and live METAR weather; airport and runway data comes from the global OurAirports database.

🎓

A real curriculum

Structured flight-school progression — CFI instructors, guided-takeoff training, missions, a cross-country flight, and a persistent pilot logbook.

🎛

True-to-life avionics

A full Garmin G1000 PFD/MFD with working softkeys, GFC700 autopilot, and edge-bezel knob hardware — modeled on the actual Pilot's Guide.

Under the hood · How we built it

Engineered from the metal up — by us.

No game engine, no framework, no boilerplate. Every layer — physics, avionics, rendering, live data — was designed and written by hand. Here's the stack, bottom to top.

🛰
Live data layer
Real-time ADS-B traffic, METAR weather & OurAirports runway geometry — fetched straight from public APIs, no keys, no backend.

Command Center Workflows

Custom operational dashboards and automations that pull live data into one screen — turning scattered tools into a single command center a team can actually run on.

  • Live dashboards
  • Automations
  • Integrations

If you can describe it, I build it

Interactive experiences, internal tools, prototypes, AI-powered apps — whatever moves your business. The flight sim is proof: complex, real, and shipped.

  • Web apps
  • Games & sims
  • AI tools
  • Prototypes
Demo builds

Fictional businesses. Real working software.

Five complete sites and apps for businesses that don't exist — each built in about a day, each with a live AI system you can watch work. They're honest demos, not fake clients: click in, press the buttons, watch the AI do the job. Now imagine a week spent on your business.
