Four operator-grade programs running today: daily hot meals at St. John's, the (262) 6UNIQUE translation hotline, STEM workshops for Newark youth, and open-source infrastructure for the kitchen.
Open-source operations dashboard for St. John's Soup Kitchen Newark. Tracks meals served, volunteer hours, inventory, and donation flow. Tablet-first, offline-capable, runs on Cloudflare Workers at near-zero cost.
SMS + voice hotline that translates intake questions in real time across Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Arabic, and ASL (via video). Designed for the volunteer who has 30 seconds to communicate with a non-English-speaking client at the door.
Monthly Saturday workshops at Newark Public Library teaching middle-schoolers to ship real software with AI. Not coding bootcamp — product-shipping bootcamp. By the end of one session, every kid has a working website on a custom domain.
A future capital project: a dining hall in Newark engineered around dignity instead of triage. Real tables. Real chairs. Real silverware. A space where the meal feels like a meal, not a handout. Funded entirely by major gifts — never operating donations.
Every tool we build is open source. Fork it, deploy it, run it for your community. We'll help.
