Projects & selected work

Different problems.
Connected skills.

Career decisions and household resilience might look far apart. Both need good research, clear assumptions, and tools that help people work through a real decision.

01 / Long-term professional work

Trade-Schools.net

My author profile

Trade-Schools.net helps people explore career education and training options. It’s owned and operated by Beelineweb.com, where my long-term work spans the editorial and technical sides of web publishing.

I contribute to the site and help oversee how content is researched, maintained, and updated. I also work on the software, search, analytics, and operational systems behind it.

This is collaborative work. A byline identifies a contribution; it doesn’t mean one person built or maintains the entire website.

Research & editorial systems

Career information, occupational data, licensing context, source quality, content libraries, and processes for keeping pages useful.

Search & measurement

Technical SEO, site architecture, analytics, content performance, and understanding what people need from a page.

Software & operations

Web development, interactive tools, publishing workflows, internal software, and integrations that connect an inquiry to its next step.

Selected published work

The tools are part of the Trade-Schools.net collection; the mechanic-school guide carries my byline. These links illustrate the work, not a claim of sole authorship or professional trade qualifications.

Trade-Schools.net is a commercial publishing business with school advertising relationships. Its author profile explains those relationships and the editorial approach.

02 / A project I’m building

ReadyHome Canada

Founder · Researcher · Tool builder

Visit ReadyHome Canada

Practical Canadian home resilience and preparedness, without prepper bullshit.

ReadyHome began as a search and business experiment. It became more personally interesting because its questions overlap with my life as a rural Okanagan homeowner: outages, electrically pumped water, wildfire smoke, heating, and leaks.

I direct the project’s research, tools, and development, using AI-assisted workflows along the way. The aim is to make a household decision easier to understand, with the evidence and limits visible.

Canadian context

Primary-source guidance and practical explanations that account for Canadian conditions and the need to check local requirements.

Tools with working shown

Calculators that explain inputs, estimates, and uncertainty. A planning result should help you ask better questions.

Clear boundaries

Research is labelled as research. Installation, code, health, and safety decisions need the appropriate professionals and authorities.

Selected guides & tools

These are researched resources and planning tools. They are not claims that I’ve personally tested the equipment or provide licensed electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or health advice. Read ReadyHome’s editorial approach for its source, calculator, and product-evidence standards.

Room to experiment

Some ideas stay small.

I also explore smaller calculator and software ideas, including OwnerMath for independent operators. An experiment doesn’t need to become a company to teach me something.

The two projects above are the clearest picture of my current work. My public GitHub profile is another place to see what I choose to share.
