Blue Snow Developers LLC
Registered the LLC. The vision: build and ship products that generate recurring revenue. Started building on nights and weekends while working full-time.
King of Spades
Landed the first client from a single conversation. Built a full enterprise B2B platform — real-time multi-round progressive raffles with card deck visualization, dynamic prize pools, Stripe payments, and enterprise auth.
Blue Snow Developers
Left corporate engineering to build full-time. Shipped four products in the first year — Party Genius, Fokiq, SplitGenius, and began TargetVid, a compositive video platform that turns real data into cinema.

Compositive Video Platform — Real data becomes cinema
Interactive 3D visualization — drag to rotate
Every frame comes from real photos and verified data. Not a single pixel is AI-generated.
Market trends, price comparisons, Walk Scores — animated D3 visualizations rendered directly in the video.
From exterior reveals to neighborhood maps — each scene type is a React component orchestrated by Remotion.
Data visualizations rendered inside every video
75+ technologies across 14 years of building — from embedded VHDL at Rockwell to compositive video pipelines today.

Principles that survived 14 years and 75+ technologies.
I never write the first line until the vision is pitch-perfect. Planning IS the product.
A working product that ships beats a perfect product that doesn't. But I'll make it perfect after it ships.
I build reusable pipelines, not one-off solutions. Every problem I solve should solve the next ten.
Real market data, real user behavior, real numbers. Hunches are starting points, not strategies.
A product people find beats a product that's technically superior.
Move deliberately, not hastily. The best decisions come from deep thinking, not fast typing.
Six rules. They wrote themselves, one shipped product at a time.
Hover to push. Every tool has weight.
If you're in the Cleveland area and have a product idea or something you've been wanting to build, I'd love to hear about it. I set aside time every week to sit down with founders, business owners, and anyone with a vision.
No pitch decks. No commitment. Just an honest conversation over coffee — what it would take to build, whether the market is there, and if I can help bring it to life. Some of my best projects started exactly like this.
Always open to interesting conversations and collaborations.
