Build logs
Websites, dashboards, scripts, and tools I built because a system was too scattered, too manual, or too annoying to leave alone.

Hi, I’m Ben.
I build websites, dashboards, and small tools to understand messy systems: markets, public records, local projects, data, and the occasional personal experiment that gets out of hand. This site is where I keep the notes, receipts, mistakes, and build logs.
What shows up here
Markets and mistakes
Notes on stocks, options, research structure, decision logs, and the trading lessons I do not want to pay for twice.
Public records and local data
Field notes from following paperwork, entities, incentives, meeting minutes, property records, and the tools that make them usable.
