off the clock projects
I've been doing a lot of tinkering lately.
- I'm the executive director of a fake anti-slop agency. Slop Prevention & Control Agency
- I wrote a book about how to stand up a docs program at a startup. You can read it free at wtfmbook.com.
- I built + I am building the documentation generator of my dreams: Shoalrun.
- I build an experimental way to package docs for nerfed agents: Scull
- I built a silly little knowledge graph for this site: KG.
- I built a static JSON API for this site's content. I wanted to practice API design, and I expect this to evolve further: API
- I made a tool that lets you test content with defined reader personas and goals, using Claude as a decision engine. Reader Simulator Repo.
- I made a very stressful game that simulates working on a doc team. Tech Writing Tycoon. This one is very rough around the edges but it's still fun.
podcast appearances
- December 2025 -- DocuWiz podcast: Leveraging CLI tools

blog posts I wrote at work
Although I wrote these, the marketing team reserves the right to "church them up" a bit for SEO purposes, and some of these were altered slightly from my final drafts. I can live with that.
