Genesee, Colorado · Publisher & Builder
Ten years of Colorado publishing, wired to modern infrastructure: newsroom platforms, subscriber pipelines, AI agents that answer the phone, and a control tower that watches all of it from one screen.
About
I publish community news in Colorado and I write the software that makes it economically possible. That means editorial workflow one day and DNS, reverse proxies, Stripe webhooks and model routing the next. Most of what I ship is built with AI agents in the loop — reviewed, deployed and monitored by me.
Selected work
Every project below runs in production for a publication I operate. Nothing here is a demo. The full repository index — pulled live from GitHub — lives on the work page.
01 — Newsroom platform
Colorado news since 1851, running on a Vite + React + TypeScript frontend against Supabase, with a separate invoice manager, subscriber and advertiser onboarding, and a Twilio + Claude receptionist that routes callers to 3CX SIP extensions instead of a voicemail box.
02 — Agent infrastructure
A Flask backend, an MCP server and an admin single-page app that together give my coding agents a single door into the network: campaign artifacts, assistant selection, upload progress and deployment readiness, all in one dark editorial console.
03 — Community publishing
A full community newspaper hub with a multi-author editorial workflow and SEO-driven lead generation, plus Fleurish — the society magazine arm, a dark tonal palette with gold accents covering fashion, philanthropy, home and health in Colorado's social calendar.
04 — Applied AI
A fashion intelligence app built on Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, paired with AF-2030 — the gateway desk that turns editorial coverage into a structured, queryable product for advertisers and stylists.
The network
News, politics, intelligence, fashion, music and dining — each with its own masthead and audience, sharing infrastructure underneath. See the full network →
Writing
Practical write-ups on what actually holds up when one person runs a dozen properties. Read everything →
What I stopped doing by hand, what I refuse to automate, and the single dashboard that replaced nine browser tabs.
Twilio, Claude and a 3CX PBX: how a two-person office stopped losing calls without hiring anyone.
A cheap tier, a smart tier, and a local tier — with rules for which one gets each job and what it cost me to learn them.
Dispatch
What broke, what I shipped, and what it cost. Publishing operations, AI tooling and Colorado media — no cross-posting, no filler.
