I direct the whole thing: product, backend, front end, deploy.

Whitney Scott, technical product manager in Portland, Oregon. Four products running in production, built solo with AI-assisted development: I direct the architecture and the build, hands-on with modern AI coding tools. Every screenshot below is the working software.

01 / job search

Job Hunter

Finds and scores the jobs, then writes the application.

It watches 4,400 companies through 9 applicant-tracking systems and 19 job boards, and scores every posting against each user's own resume and career history, explaining the score in strengths and watch-outs instead of a number.

It drafts a tailored resume and cover letter, then fact-checks every claim against that person's actual record and refuses to ship a document it cannot support. It flags reposted “ghost” jobs, watches whether each source is still producing, and emails a daily digest plus instant alerts on strong matches.

02 / civic intelligence

CivicLens

Know what your city is about to decide.

Find the opportunity while it is still in the agenda packet: a zoning change two blocks from a site you own, a permit filed next door, a contract heading for a vote, a state bill that redefines what you can build.

Follow a property or a project through permits, hearings and votes before the decision lands. Ask in plain English what a council did and get the answer with a link to the document it came from. The system watches its own sources and raises an alert when one goes quiet, because a feed that silently stops is worse than no feed.

03 / health & training

ShortCircuit

A workout built around your real life.

Tell it what equipment you own and how much room you have, and it builds each workout to fit, from a library of 203 exercises. It remembers what you lifted last time and moves you up when you are ready, backs off when your sleep and heart-rate data say you are run down, and switches to an equipment-free session when you travel.

Do not like an exercise? Swap it, and the app finds one that still fits your gear and your space. Every exercise carries a cited source for how it is programmed, checked automatically so a claim cannot drift from the research behind it.

04 / family safety

Tortuga

Parental controls without the tech skills.

Seven plain-English questions about your family, asked in everyday words rather than settings names, turn into a tap-by-tap setup guide for your child's device: iPhone and iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, Chromebook and Fire tablet, with age-appropriate suggestions already filled in.

Tick the steps off as you go. It ends with a short guide to explaining the new rules to your child, since kids follow limits they understand.
