Local-first software

Applications that keep their primary workflow and data usable on the user’s machine rather than depending on a remote service.

Projects

• AI Customer Support CouncilA self-hosted internal admin console for synthetic B2B support intake and triage, built as a technical-assessment deliverable for Valsoft Corporation. It is not a customer-facing platform.
• REE Personal Finance TrackerA Flutter desktop personal-finance application for multi-wallet transactions, subscriptions, debts, savings goals, and local insights, with local SQLite storage.
• JunoA personal and household finance tracker for the Linux desktop and iPhone, built in Flutter. It is local-first, with optional Supabase sync between devices, and it is the new version of my earlier finance app, REE.

Writing

• Building a local-first AI support triage councilAn internal support workflow where an LLM proposes structure, deterministic rules enforce policy, and a human keeps the final say.
• Designing an offline-first personal finance desktop appREE treats personal finance as a private desktop workflow: fast entry, local storage, and enough structure to understand where money moves.
• Rebuilding my finance app around local-first syncJuno keeps the data on the device first and syncs only if you ask. Most of the work went into making that boring and safe.
