PING

Golf equipment · Ballnamic

PING is a $5B+ golf equipment brand with a reputation for engineering precision. Their bet with Ballnamic was unusual: build a brand-agnostic golf ball fitting platform from a company that doesn't even make balls. Powered by ball-flight simulation algorithms, robot testing on the Ping Man, and doppler radar across 40+ ball models from every major brand.

Me and my team at Bossa Nova built the system end to end. The fitting engine, the consumer-facing landing page at ballfitting.com, and the physical kiosk software now showing up in golf shops like Haggin Oaks. One platform, three surfaces. Ongoing partnership.

QWIRE

Music clearance · Film & TV

QWIRE is a music clearance and rights tracking platform for film and TV. The clearance workflow is famously fragmented across studios, publishers, and rights holders. QWIRE consolidates it.

Bossa Nova has been THE embedded team at QWIRE for many years. The kind of relationship where the work outlives the contract.

Whiskey Social

Consumer app · iOS + Android

Whiskey Social is a whiskey discovery and community app built by two Tennessee enthusiasts who wanted a better way to share what they were drinking. Three pillars: collection, social, discovery. Plus venue partnerships, a 7,000+ bottle database, and an active community feed.

Bossa Nova handles maintenance, enhancements, and ongoing feature development. The app holds a 4.8 on the App Store and ships on both iOS and Android.

UVL

Logistics · McLeod TMS

UVL is a transportation and logistics operator running on McLeod TMS. They came to Bossa Nova for a modern client-facing app and a clearer picture of their own API and backend infrastructure.

Bossa Nova shipped UVL's app and has continued mapping and documenting their API for future development cycles. Ongoing maintenance and partnership work as the platform scales.

My products

Things I'm building under my own roof.

Season Seek

AR scavenger hunts for kids. Mobile, community-built. Made with my wife.

Tee Time Trainer

Golf improvement that survives contact with the actual course. Pre-round planning. Shot dispersion. Coach plans that adapt. Built for golfers who'd rather get better than feel better.

Koine Quest

"Hard to distinguish the Bossa Nova team members from our own employees."
