Melee is a social prediction platform where private friend groups compete around any structured event — sports brackets, award show ballots, reality TV eliminations, and more. Discovered through an accidental beta (a single-page NCAA lacrosse bracket app), Melee's core thesis is that the social layer — Chatter, leaderboard transparency, and pick visibility — drives more engagement than the event itself. The platform is built around Groups as the primary social unit, with AI-assisted event creation so any Host can scaffold a competition in under five minutes. The MVP proves format generalization with two event types: the original lacrosse bracket and a 2027 Oscars ballot. The event is the excuse. The banter is the product.

Bracket Battle is an annual NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship bracket prediction app built for a small group of friends. Players submit full brackets before a deadline — picking all 15 games across First Round, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Championship — after which picks lock permanently. Scoring follows a March Madness model (+10/15/20/25 points per correct pick by round, no penalties), with a live leaderboard, Trash Talk comments section, and real-time score integration via a Cloudflare Worker proxy of the ESPN feed. The app is a single index.html file deployed via GitHub Pages, backed by Supabase for user auth, picks storage, and comments, with analytics via Plausible. Built to be reused each year with a documented annual reset process.

SABO (sabo.network) is a corporate accountability and consumer activism platform built to concentrate economic and reputational pressure on corporations that lobby against popular public interest legislation — using capitalism's own mechanisms to hold corporations accountable. The platform has two core components: a community space for coordinated activist action, and an accountability database that synthesizes government documents and trusted datasets (from OpenSecrets, SEC EDGAR, GAO, and others) into accessible intelligence enriched with peer-reviewed analysis from journalists, researchers, and vetted contributors. The MVP is focused on the healthcare/insurance ecosystem — specifically pharmacy benefit management concentration — with four launch campaigns targeting Amazon, Meta, Cigna, and Wells Fargo.
