Free Tools

Built for good, free to use.

A few public builds I made because they should exist. No paywalls, no logins, no catch. Use them, share them, and tell me if they help.

Park Pals

A playful way for kids and families to explore all 63 US national parks. Collect critter friends, earn stamps and badges, and pick up real facts about each park along the way. It also points families toward the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, so the love for the parks can turn into support for them.

Findwell

A free, no-login tool that helps communities find funding and resources they actually qualify for, written in plain language instead of grant jargon. The emergency services library now covers fire, EMS, law enforcement, and 911 agencies in all 50 states, and the newest library, Pride, brings grants, scholarships, and support for LGBTQ+ people and organizations across all 50 states plus DC. Libraries for veterans, women, and survivors are on the way, added one verified set at a time.

Resume Tracker Script

A small open-source script that turns a folder of resume files into an organized Excel job-application tracker, no spreadsheet building required. It pulls company names, titles, and dates from your file names, adds color-coded status dropdowns and links back to each resume, and you can re-run it as you apply without losing your edits. Built for job seekers in any field, not just developers.

If there is a small, useful thing your community keeps wishing for, tell me about it. Some of the best builds start as someone else's good idea.
