Most budgeting apps tell you where your money went. I wanted one that answers the harder question: with the money I have right now, what do I pay, what do I protect, and what comes next? CashAscent builds that plan for every paycheck and keeps it honest as bills, debts, and due dates move around.

It's a complete SaaS product that I designed and built end to end: the API, the web application, the marketing site, subscription billing, and the pipelines that ship them.

Jaro Pets is built for one breed first. Cane Corsos grow fast and get big, and their owners end up tracking a lot: weight, vaccines, feeding, grooming, heat cycles, and who's looking after the dog this week. Jaro Pets keeps all of it in one place, and you can share a dog's records with a co-owner, vet, trainer, or sitter, each with access that fits their role.

The screens here are design concepts for where the owner app and the breeder tools are headed. The platform underneath is the part I've built out most: separate .NET services for pets, owners, breeds, nutrition, subscriptions, and sign-in, each owning its own data and passing integration events to the others instead of sharing tables.

Produce tastes better and costs less when it's in season, but most of us couldn't tell you what's in season this month. In Season answers that for where you are: what's at its peak right now, why, what it's good for, which stores nearby carry it, and a few recipes to use it in.

The first version was a universal app for Windows and Windows Phone, with an Android version on Xamarin, all sharing one MVVM layer and pulling from an ASP.NET Web API. These screens are the redesign. The idea is the same, but now everything is built around your location, so the season, the stores, and the recipes all match where you live.

Writing the book meant building the system it describes, one pattern at a time, and testing every rule it claims. Every listing is the book's own code, and it builds and runs.

These are systems people rely on every working day, where the rules come from policy and law, the data is sensitive, and the software has to keep running while it changes underneath them.
