I photograph motorsports, help companies build with AI as a fractional CTO, and spend the rest of my time building things.
What's on the bench right now. A lit lamp means it's in progress.

AppsIn progress.
A Mac app that brings any RTSP or ONVIF camera into Apple Home with HomeKit Secure Video. No NVR, no cloud, no account.

LeatherIn progress.
A leather cash wallet I make by hand in my Arizona workshop, sold under my Allen Cor label.

VehicleIn progress.
A CarPlay-first head unit and a custom digital instrument cluster for my 2022 Silverado, styled after CarPlay Ultra and linked over Wi-Fi.

AstrophotographyIn progress.
A Raspberry Pi that runs a star-tracking mount and my Canon R5C, with an MCP server so Claude can plan and shoot astrophotos from an ordinary chat.
ResearchIn progress.
Independent research into whether organized electromagnetic energy affects gravity differently, with published papers and bench experiments.
What's planned next. These need sponsors, backers or just time.

Down to one wallet, the Cash Wallet

I've spent 20 years building things across software, hardware and live sport. Photography came first: I've shot motorsports for Icon Sportswire since 2014, and that work has run in ESPN, Sports Illustrated and The New York Times. These days my own photography is mostly the night sky and travel landscapes.
Today I run Owl CTO, where I design and build AI systems and act as a fractional CTO for growing businesses. The rest of the time I'm building things for myself. Lately that's mostly Camera Bridge, my app for bringing any security camera into Apple Home, alongside wallets, truck electronics, camera gear and a rig that photographs the whole night sky.
