Working Toast LLC

Software architecture, cloud migrations, and data integrations — backed by 30+ years of engineering experience.

Moving businesses to the cloud, connecting systems that were never meant to talk to each other, and making AI genuinely useful for people who don't have an engineering team. Architecture, integration, and the unglamorous follow-through that turns prototypes into things that hold up in production.

Selected work

Bug and Hawk Fire Info

Public service

bugfireinfo.com2026

Built and shipped in an afternoon while the Bug Fire was burning north of Reno, to put evacuation zone lookup, official incident feeds, shelters, air quality, and road closures on one page. A single self-contained HTML file with no JavaScript and no third-party requests, so it loads fast on a phone with one bar. While the fire was active, acreage and containment refreshed hourly from InciWeb through a checker that failed closed — on any bad fetch or unexpected parse it left the page untouched rather than publish a wrong number to people deciding whether to leave. It wound down to a record once the Bug and Stallion Fires were contained, then restarted by hand for the Hawk Fire.

Forestry Diary

forestrydiary.com2025–2026

A digital archive of US Forest Service ranger Reuben P. Box's complete 1927–1945 work diaries — roughly 7,500 pages, with full-text search across 400+ indexed people, places, and events. Production AI pipeline combining Mistral for OCR and Claude for summarization and indexing.

Stirling City Historical Society

stirlingcityhistory.org2020–2026

Public-facing website for a Butte County, California 501(c)(3) preserving local mountain history — visitor information, news, timeline, and exhibition content for a museum operating each summer. Built in 2020 and maintained since.

Skyway Evacuation Route

skywayevacroute.com2024–2026

Community advocacy site documenting a damaged 185-foot section of the Skyway — the sole northern evacuation corridor for Paradise, Magalia, and Stirling City, California. Maps, on-site photography, historical context (Camp Fire, Park Fire), and chronological updates tracking a stalled $1M FEMA-funded repair.

Donut Robotics

Custom IoT sensors and automation2026

Custom ESP32-S3 based sensors and displays feeding a local database for AI processing, as a custom experimental job for a client. More to be available soon.

Golden Encounters

Side project

goldenencounters.org2026

A satirical micro-site built in a single afternoon with Claude Code, riffing on Anthropic's 2026 Super Bowl ads and commentary on advertising in AI. Half commentary, half demonstration of how fast a senior developer can move with modern AI tooling.
