Current Project: DadTrack

As an engineering leader and dad, I built DadTrack from a simple insight: parenting is one of the most meaningful journeys we take, yet the moments slip away too quickly. DadTrack helps dads capture the small, everyday moments—the moods, the memories, the milestones— so you can reflect on them, share them with family, and never lose sight of what matters most.
