Web Development
High quality, open-source oriented, old-school web development that emphasizes the fundamentals: reliability, security, usability and flexibility. Everyone from your little brother to your newest intern can generate a landing page by lunch. Not everyone can deliver a secure, low-fee ticketing system, a low-cost, low-latency media pipeline and a CMS that doesn't make you google "maximum Prozac dosage".
Architecting an open-sourced web platform for LA's advertising and production vanguard
There's a familiar tension between development and design, a false dichotomy which pits control and flexibility against top-shelf aesthetics. Fortunately for Superbloom, Tool worships at the altar of "Yes, And..." Cheap and flexible and fast and editable and observable and everything that an ad agency should demand from their digital home. From low-cost adaptive streaming via Mux to a hand-rolled CMS designed around the specific design habits of the Superbloom team, Tool delivered a definitively futureproof website.
Developing a functional, mobile payment system and artist management tools for Miami's music scene.
There is a funny sort of dualism in nightlife, one that requires clearheadedness and structure to support the freewheeling, often anarchic tendencies of artists and patrons. Tool brought the tools and technique necessary to catapult Verbs, a Miami-based club night, from ad-hoc to always-on. Elaborated in NextJS, Tool delivered an elegant front-end and a systematized ticketing and artist management practice to provide dead-simple, low-fee ticketing to Miami’s clubgoers.
