Built a full-stack gear rating platform from scratch. It was my first venture using AI-assisted development, and I chose the tech stack, designed the product, and shipped it solo with zero prior web dev experience.

JRWLabs Dashboard is my personal operating system for building financial independence while holding down a full-time job and raising a family. It's the single place where my ventures, investments, intelligence, and decisions live. Built by me, for exactly how my brain works. At its core is Apex Signal, a triple-scanner stock intelligence system that monitors Reddit sentiment, SEC/regulatory filings, and institutional options flow via Unusual Whales, cross-references all three by ticker through a correlation engine, and pushes a conviction-scored alert to my phone when something clears the threshold. It paper trades automatically against its own signals to validate itself over time. Around that sits everything else I need to run my life as a founder: an Idea Vault with 62+ ideas and a full validation framework, a Stock Watchlist organized by account and thesis, Action Items that persist across sessions, a Career Clarity guide, a Five-Year Plan with financial modeling, and a Thought of the Day that keeps my ENTJ brain calibrated at 5 AM. The whole thing runs on about $8-9/month.

A career clarity AI that asks 10 open-ended questions and delivers a personalized self-understanding profile. It isn't a personality quiz, it's a reading of who you actually are. Answers are interpreted through MBTI psychology and frameworks from Greene, Thiel, Clear, Naval, Fadell, Hormozi, and Graham. The output is a tabbed interactive profile: your words reflected back with honest interpretation, a framework lens, a pattern diagnosis, and three concrete next steps.

Designed and deployed a full home network from scratch, including a Ubiquiti gateway, managed APs, a camera system, and a custom Unraid NAS. Both the server and modem run on strategic UPS coverage for uptime. I built, configured, and maintain all of it solo.

Self-taught. Designed logos, shirts, and brand assets over the years. The work I'm most proud of: my wife's friend started a boutique handmade chocolate business and asked for help. I designed her logo from scratch and helped guide the early e-commerce side of things. The business took off, they opened a physical storefront in Asheville, and my logo is on the building. I've also designed and sold shirts through SquareOne Creations.

Renovated an entire house within 7 months while working full time, handling the electrical, carpentry, drywall, framing, plumbing, painting, and flooring myself. Spent north of $30k on materials and tools alone. I self-managed the whole project, budget and timeline included.

Automotive enthusiast with a long history of modified builds. Current garage: a built Tacoma set up for off-road and overland adventures, and a Golf Alltrack tuned into a fast, practical dadwagon. Every vehicle gets modified because stock is just the starting point.

Designed and built an autonomous firefighting robot for the 2013 ITEC 467 Mobile Robotics competition. Handled all mechanical design and taught myself Basic from scratch to program a BX-24P microcontroller. Won Best Firefighting Robot.

Led the full team and managed five sub-teams of students through the 2013 ATMAE National Championship, and we won. Each sub-team owned a specific robot system. I handled mechanical design personally and engineered the ground ball ingestion system from scratch.

Independent study with no syllabus and no structure. Built and programmed a humanoid robot to play soccer with a partner. I owned the striker, handling its movement, decision-making, and ball interaction, while my partner handled the goalie. The end goal was a full 3-robot team. Two of us, two robots, figuring it out as we went.
