What we're building.

Remote hiring · US ↔ Philippines · Launched 2024

A remote hiring platform connecting US-based businesses with vetted Filipino professionals for direct employment — no placement fees, aligned to US business hours.

Skilled.Ph solves a specific friction in cross-border remote hiring: US companies that want Filipino talent typically end up inside agency or BPO arrangements that charge ongoing placement fees and obscure the direct relationship with the worker. Skilled.Ph removes the middle layer — employers hire directly, workers keep the full working relationship, and the platform operates on a flat model.

The platform serves 15,000+ professionals and is expanding its employer base across US small and mid-sized businesses.

Software marketplace · AI & indie apps

A deals marketplace for AI and independently built software. Makers list a discounted offer; TEQLAB handles checkout, escrow, and payout on a revenue share.

Independent software makers can build a product far faster than they can find the first thousand customers. Distribution is the bottleneck, and the existing deal marketplaces were built for a different era of software — slow curation, heavy editorial overhead, and terms that favor the platform.

TEQLAB is the operator's version: free to list, revenue share instead of listing fees, and a refund window that funds are escrowed against so buyers can trust the offer and makers still get paid. Deals must clear a real discount threshold to be listed at all.

QR codes & short links · Analytics & attribution

Dynamic QR codes and short links that stay editable after they are printed, with real scan analytics, an API, and GS1 Digital Link support.

A QR code printed on packaging, signage, or a vehicle wrap outlives the campaign it was made for. Most tools treat that as an upsell: let the link break, or pay to keep it alive. reRoute treats a printed link as a permanent commitment — the destination stays editable, and a downgrade never breaks a code already in the world.

Underneath is the infrastructure a marketing team actually needs: time, location, and device routing rules, first-party attribution, retargeting pixels, multi-tenant workspaces for agencies, and a GS1 resolver built against the 2027 Sunrise deadline.

Commerce & discovery · Buy-it-for-life goods

Buy once, buy right. A curated buy-it-for-life catalog of tools, cookware, and gear, with every product vetted for durability and long-term value.

Most product recommendation sites are optimized for volume: rank everything, review nothing deeply, and let the reader sort out which of forty options is actually worth owning. 4evaBrands takes the opposite position — a standing collection chosen for materials, construction, and repairability, judged on how long a thing lasts rather than how well it converts.

The site runs on a shared platform the studio built for config-driven commerce properties, so a new storefront is a configuration rather than a codebase. 4evaBrands is the first brand to ship on it.

Coastal art studio · Outer Banks → Wilmington, NC

Retired surfboards, reborn as one-of-a-kind art. Donate a board along the Outer Banks–Wilmington corridor, or find a finished piece in the gallery.

Every surfboard eventually ages out of the lineup — snapped noses, waterlogged foam, dings that never quite heal. Most end up in a shed, a dumpster, or a landfill. Second Fin exists so they don't: boards collected along the Outer Banks–Wilmington corridor are cleaned, repaired where it counts, and hand-finished as original pieces.

The studio is run by Renée, an artist and lifelong coastal North Carolinian. Finished work is sold as one-of-ones; commissions and board donations are open. Donations are appreciated and not tax-deductible — this is a for-profit studio, not a nonprofit.

Secrets management · Developers & CI

Encrypted secrets management for projects, CI, and teams. Store secrets once, load them with the CLI, and send a one-time link to someone without an account.

Production credentials end up pasted into chat threads and committed .env files because that is the fastest way to get them where they are needed. ohapi makes the safe path the fast one: ohapi login signs in through the browser, ohapi pull writes the local env file, and ohapi run injects secrets into a process without writing them to disk.

Every value is encrypted with AES-256-GCM in the application before Postgres stores it, values stay masked until someone clicks Reveal, and every reveal writes an audit row. CI jobs exchange a GitHub OIDC token for a one-hour key instead of holding a long-lived secret, and changes to production can require another admin’s approval. Use the managed service, or self-host it with Docker Compose.

Email infrastructure · Multi-domain sending

A multi-domain email API and deliverability console. Add a domain, publish the DNS, and send transactional and broadcast mail from every brand you own through one account.

One account per sending domain stops working at about the third domain: separate logins, separate keys, separate suppression lists, and no way to see whether a brand nobody has looked at in a month is still authenticating. Refresh folds all of it into one console behind one API, with a DKIM key per domain encrypted under a key dedicated to each organization.

Moving an app over is usually two lines, because the send API takes the request body most apps already send; an SMTP relay covers anything that cannot speak HTTP. DMARC and TLS reports land in your own account and are parsed per domain, and each domain can fail over to a second sending region with the same keys.

Headless CMS · Built on Cloudflare

A headless CMS built entirely on Cloudflare. Model content in TypeScript, edit it together in real time, and deliver it from the edge.

Every dataset is its own SQLite database in a Durable Object, so datasets never share storage. Schemas are written in TypeScript and queries are typed from them, so a renamed field breaks the build rather than the site. Editors get real-time co-editing, a revision for every save, an image pipeline, and releases and scheduled publishing on every plan, including the free one.

Ingot migrates from Sanity without a rewrite: document ids, references, and Portable Text move over unchanged, and a parity harness runs existing GROQ queries against both systems and reports any difference. The free Copper plan stops at its limits instead of billing, so a side project never produces a surprise invoice.

Web services studio · Serving the US

Copper Interactive finds websites running on outdated, unsupported, or insecure software, rebuilds them on current technology, and keeps them that way.

Most small-business sites are built once and left alone. The CMS, plugins, and server software quietly stop getting updates, and nothing looks wrong until a form gets hijacked, a browser shows a warning, or search traffic slides. Every engagement starts with a free written audit that uses passive checks only — no vulnerability scanners, no login attempts, nothing that isn’t already public.

From there it is a fixed-scope rebuild on a modern, low-maintenance stack with content and URLs carried over, then ongoing maintenance so the site does not drift out of date again. The studio’s own properties were the first projects: Dorado Rock, DR Promotions, and reRoute each went from zero of five security headers to five of five.

Food & recipes · Budget home cooking

Honest, costed recipes. Every recipe shows what it costs per serving, and nothing goes up until a person has reviewed it.

Hearth & Penny prices every ingredient, so a reader knows what dinner costs before they shop. A “Kitchen-tested” badge means the recipe was actually cooked, not just written, and every recipe is read through and signed off before it publishes.

Recipes are published under the pen name June Hartwell, and the site is upfront that June’s family stories are written with AI assistance and checked for accuracy. The first recipes are being tested now; the weekly Sunday Letter — five dinners, a shopping list, and what they will cost — is open for sign-ups.

Customer support · Help desk

A white-label help desk. Every email, help center, and chat window carries your brand, and your customers never see OHSupport’s.

One inbox covers email, chat, and the help center: assign conversations, leave internal notes, and hand off without losing the thread. Replies go out from your own support address, the help center and ticket portal live on your own subdomain, and the chat widget is one script tag that recognizes customers already signed in to your app. AI triage and suggested replies draw on your help center, and nothing is sent until an agent approves it.

Switching from Zendesk or Help Scout means exporting, importing, and forwarding your support address — conversations, contacts, and notes come along, and customers keep writing to the same address. It works on its own and plugs into the rest of the studio’s stack: Refresh delivers every reply, Ingot hosts help-center articles, and reRoute powers branded links and QR codes that open a pre-filled request.
