Projects

Tools built for real people navigating real challenges.

Verified-resource platforms and practical technology, grown from lived experience.

Flagship project

Field Compass

Field Compass helps someone in crisis answer one urgent question: where can I actually go right now? It is already built as an Android app and web app, and instead of handing people an overwhelming list, it asks a few plain-language questions and points them toward the right shelter, food source, clinic, or service — with the intake rules explained. Built for people experiencing homelessness, case workers, outreach teams, first responders, shelter staff, volunteers, and concerned citizens who need accurate information before a bad referral becomes another dead end.

HomelessDenver.com

homelessdenver.com

A Denver-focused homeless resource project built around verified resources, user input, and database-backed information so people can find shelter, food, hygiene, transportation, documents, and practical help with more confidence. The project that started it all — purchased with a gift card from a harm-reduction class, grown into a living verified-resource mission.
