Work

When the answer is build,
this is what that looks like

Most of my work is helping owners decide what's worth doing — and often the honest answer is that nothing needs building at all. But when something does, I build it myself. These are systems running in production, so you can judge the claim rather than take it.

Built in-house · Multi-tenant SaaS

NurtureBoard

A relationship CRM I built and run in production: companies, contacts, follow-ups, relationship stages, and mapped locations.

Client system · Yoga & wellness studio

mbanalytics

A studio analytics platform: membership, intro-offer conversion, AI insights, scorecards, retention outreach, and reporting.

Client system · Workforce & operations

Time Tracker

Employee time tracking, work sessions, payroll, and administration.

Built in-house · Dependency-aware task manager

Throughline

A dependency-aware task manager that surfaces what's blocked and what's ready to start.

Built in-house · This site

kennangle.com

This site itself: built with Astro and maintained end to end in-house.

Proof of concept · Live demo

AI Competitive Research

Not a screenshot — the real tool. Enter a zip code and a business type and get a read on your local competitive landscape in about 60 seconds. This is a proof of concept rather than a full market research product: it searches Google Places and nothing else, so it sees businesses that keep a Google listing — most of them, but not all.

Built In-House

NurtureBoard

NurtureBoard is a calm, focused workspace for organizing relationships and following through — but it's really a platform for building customized relationship-management systems. I built it in-house and run it in production, using the same approach I bring to client work. Use it as-is, shape it to how your business actually tracks relationships, or integrate it with the systems you already run.

How I Build

What these have in common

None of these started as a technology decision. Each one started with a business problem worth solving, and the software followed.

Built on what you already run

These pull from the systems already in place rather than replacing them. The problem is usually that your systems don't talk to each other — not that anything is missing.

Small enough to judge

Each was built to answer a question first. You find out whether it earns its place before anyone commits to the larger version.

Measured against something

What the work was supposed to improve gets agreed before it ships, not described afterward. Otherwise you can't tell whether it worked.

Yours to keep

Client systems ship with documentation and no ongoing licence. No proprietary platform, and no dependency on me once it's running.
