Royal Palm Beach, Florida
I'm Gavin. I've spent 22 years in recruiting, and these days I build the tools I wish I'd had: a recruiter marketplace, an AI sourcing engine, job data you can buy by the row, and whatever the next design challenge throws at me. Everything here is shipped and live.
Say hi on Contra01
Two custom skins for the Video.js v10 player, built for the Video.js Skins Design Challenge. Both play right here on this site.

Tally
A four-camera player. One NASA launch, four angles, all in sync. Tap a camera to cut to it, let the
director cut for you, then watch back your own edit.

Waddle
A kid-proof player. Pick an egg, it hatches a penguin, a dinosaur or a sea turtle, and your animal rides the
seek bar. Time is counted in fish, and the grown-up settings hide behind a press and hold.

02
The day job. Built on Bubble, with Claude and OpenAI doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
A split-fee marketplace where employers and recruiters post jobs and a network of independent recruiters fills them. Every submittal and placement is tracked and protected, so recruiters can share jobs without worrying about getting cut out.
AI candidate search. Give it a role and Sniper writes the Boolean, searches 850M+ profiles, grades every candidate against the job with Claude and drafts the outreach. Your top candidates come back ready to call.
Winner, Best Use of Bubble AI, Anthropic x Bubble x Contra hackathon
My first video ads, one for each side of IronBase. Hero shots made in Recraft, motion in Higgsfield with Kling 3.0 Turbo, music from Pixabay, cut together in CapCut.
03
My data side project. Clean, no-login datasets from public web data, sold pay per result on the Apify Store and as APIs on Zyla API Hub. Jobs, events, reviews and prediction markets.
04
Contra design and build challenges. Each one is a few days, a new tool to learn, and a deadline.
An operating system for my marriage: a boot screen, a live dashboard (partner battery at 31%), the conditionals we actually run on, and an error log of every fight. All resolved, eventually. Designed in Wonder and shipped through its MCP.
A mascot for people who aren't sure they're ready. Wren is an oak door with a calm face in the grain, for a fictional therapy app. A full brand system: wordmark, palette, poster, app icon, stickers and a short animated loop.
Storm-triggered booking for a one-truck hurricane shutter installer. When the forecast cone touches the county, enrolled homes activate, get triaged and routed, and every customer confirms their window by text.
A 40-second AI short that zooms out from an ant to a tree to the Earth to the universe, then lands somewhere you don't see coming. Made in Renoise Canvas with Seedance 2.0 and Nano Banana 2.
Sniper won its hackathon, and Tally and Waddle are my entries in the Video.js Skins Design Challenge. They're up top.
