Work & Ventures
Three decades of work, from global brand campaigns to the products and platforms we design, build, and run today.
What we build
A few of the products we design, build, and run. The full catalog, with the stack and feature detail behind each one, lives on the products page.
What we build and run
A peer brand and product studio, built and run under 137. The studio behind Smart Horoscopes (AI astrology that remembers you) and Spiritual Vedic Names (Vedic naming by nakshatra and rashi), on shared deterministic astronomy computation.
smartastrologics.com →Free, no-login utilities that answer one question: is today a good day to go? Each scores live conditions from zero to one hundred using real public data, from NWS and NOAA to USGS, EPA, NPS, and OpenStreetMap, never guesswork. itsabeachday rates roughly 500 beaches per activity, itsafishingday scores 48 species across 480 spots, itsatrailday covers 2,500-plus Mid-Atlantic trails, and itsabikeday grades rides with wind-relative-to-route analysis.
The control plane behind our managed hosting. It provisions isolated, dedicated clusters for each client, on Docker Swarm or Kubernetes (k3s / k8s), across third-party cloud, VPS, and bare-metal providers, then deploys and runs our products on them.
A real-time multiplayer euchre platform. Live four-player games against people and a thousand AI bots, with ranked Elo ladders, clubs, detailed stats, and trick-by-trick replays.

Under the hood
Three decades of connective software, much of it under NDA. Here is the shape of the work, without the names.
Bare metal, ESXi, Proxmox, VPS and cloud, Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes. The 137 Platform is the working proof.
