Dashboards & platforms

Building dashboards, multimedia apps, and data-heavy frontends at scale for teams shipping real products like the ElevenVR League platform, Grooveshark, LIV, and Napster. Large-scale codebases with multiple contributors, real-time data, complex state, and architectural decisions that need to hold up over years.

What's covered
  • Design systems, architecture, and state management at scale.
  • Dashboards, internal tools, and multimedia / media-rich apps.
  • Joining an existing large-scale codebase and shipping features without breaking it.
  • Monorepo setup and module boundaries for multi-team codebases.
  • Real-time and streaming UIs with sockets, media playback, live data.

3D & motion design

3D and motion work, WebGL scenes, shaders, scroll-driven sequences, and the delight layer that turns a functional UI into something memorable.

3D
  • Three.js scenes handling meshes, materials, and lighting.
  • Declarative 3D using React Three Fiber.
  • GLSL shaders for effects that can't be done with built-in materials.
  • Physics, particles, and procedural generation — terrain, galaxies, noise fields.
Motion
  • Micro-interactions and hover / state animations.
  • Motion systems and design tokens for consistency across the app.
  • Scroll-driven storytelling and animation sequences.
  • SVG morphing and path animation.

UX design & audits

Redesign and improve the user experience for your products, leaving your users satisfied, happy, and excited to come back. Get a fresh perspective on your product and identify areas for improvement.

UX Improvements
  • Information architecture mapping.
  • User flows and personas to guide a redesign.
  • Accessibility findings, WCAG-level.
  • Component-level refactors where patterns are identified.

Agent orchestration

Setup and refinement for agent systems to scale across your company and product suite. Cursor rules, skill catalogs, and the guardrails that keep generated output aligned with how the team actually works. Durable infrastructure for day-to-day agent-assisted development.

What gets built
  • Knowledge bases and MCP data sources for agents to reference.
  • Rules, skills, and scoped context for common tasks.
  • Virtual companies with dozens of agents working for you in the background.
  • Always-on assistants that can handle tasks across your messaging apps and workflows.
  • Orchestration of agents across your company and product suite.

Mobile apps

Build native-feeling apps that feel at home on iOS and Android, with a focus on performance, accessibility, and user experience.

Capabilities
  • React Native app development and iteration.
  • Expo and EAS deployment and distribution.
  • Native module integration when JS isn't enough.
  • Offline-first and sync patterns.
  • App Store / Play Store submission and release pipelines.

Discord activities & Twitch overlays

Create powerful, connected apps, overlays, and bots for Discord and Twitch, with real-time, multi-user, and motion-rich design.

Discord
  • Discord Activities and interactive experiences.
  • Multiplayer mini-games and shared tools inside Discord voice chat.
  • Interactive bots and widgets.
Twitch
  • Twitch Extensions and streaming overlays.
  • OBS browser-source overlays driven by live stream data.
  • Animated alerts and on-stream visualizations.

Code & Performance reviews

Tailored review for an existing codebase, PR, or shipped product. Quality and architecture, load time, render cost, and runtime responsiveness.

Code review
  • Architecture and component decisions.
  • Performance patterns and redundant operations in application code.
  • Cross-platform / cross-browser behavior, especially mobile.
  • State management, hooks, and test coverage.
  • Async review, live walkthrough, or recurring reviews.
Performance audit
  • Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores.
  • Bundle size, code-splitting, and render performance.
  • Asset delivery, caching, and third-party script impact.
  • Written report with prioritized fixes.
