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.

AppsIn progress.
An iPad app for my UTV that records where I ride, draws my trails by how often I've driven them, and keeps working with no cell signal.
What's planned next. These need sponsors, backers or just time.
Camera Bridge
Live video and sound in the browser Monitor
The web Monitor now shows live video for every camera, with a speaker on each tile so you can listen to one camera at a time, and it falls back to still pictures if a…
Silverado cockpit
Cluster joins the truck's Wi-Fi, and the adapter recovers itself
The cluster now joins the truck's Wi-Fi as an ordinary client instead of hosting its own network, so nothing in the cab runs an access point. The head unit watches…
XRoad
Renamed XRoad
The app became XRoad, with a new icon, a full-width footer, a green color scheme and radar fixes.
Camera Bridge
Saving clips, and Camera Bridge OS records to a drive
The Mac app can now save and export clips from recorded footage, and the Overview and NVR pages are merged into one screen with the timeline. Test builds of Camera Bridge…
Astrophoto MCP Server
The rig's software moves into one repository
The SkyCapture code that runs the camera, mount and MCP server is now in one shared repository, with the Mac companion apps alongside it, so the rig can be worked on from…
Allen Cor wallets
Down to one wallet, the Cash Wallet
Narrowed the store to a single design, the Cash Wallet, and dropped the "1" from its name. Its pictures now match the real leather and the latest cut pattern,…
A 3D-printed V-mount power box for the Canon R5C, built to bolt onto the SmallRig cage.

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.
