Platforms.
Technology for the sake of technology is pointless. Software built by people who have no idea what you do is worse. Tools designed by the people who actually use them are invaluable.
Software in educational and cultural spaces is rarely built by the people who run them. The result is administrative friction: punitive overdue rules, rigid cataloging workflows, fragmented reading programs, and tools that prioritize compliance over connection.
If a platform forces a child to feel shame over a late book, or demands ten minutes of administrative overhead per item cataloged, it fails the institution.
I design and build independent, multi-tenant software platforms grounded in dignity, extreme efficiency, and visual elegance. Latency is eliminated, administrative barriers are removed, and technology returns to its proper role: serving curiosity and community.
Lux Libris
A reading ecosystem curated and designed for Catholic schools
Curated specifically for Catholic kids by a librarian who has spent years in Catholic schools, Lux Libris isn't just a reading list — it's an entire reading ecosystem designed for maximum impact with minimum administrative friction.
Running annually from June 1 to March 31, it features 20 carefully chosen books for grades 4–8, 227 collectible Luxlings™ saints, 50+ research-backed reading tools, and a focus timer that blocks app-switching to get kids into physical books.
With a 5-minute setup, automated quiz approvals, and zero paper tracking, it makes running a high-engagement, faith-filled reading program effortless for librarians and teachers.
Curated for Catholic kids, built for librarians — forming saints, one book at a time.
Heimdl
A complete ILS designed around the school year and busy librarians
Built specifically for schools, Heimdl solves the problems that legacy ILS systems ignore. Designed to make running a library effortless and comprehensive for a single librarian, it combines high-speed cataloging — up to 700 books a day with labels printed directly in order — with zero-friction circulation, complete finance tracking, social and newsletter authoring, and monthly principal reports generated in a click.
From full school calendar integration, so books are never due over holidays, to daily space-booking, volunteer management, shelf-reading lists, and automated wizards for weeding and end-of-year closeout, Heimdl supports the entire ecosystem of the school library.
Built specifically for schools to make running a library effortless for a single librarian.
Lux Fidei
Hallow for schools
Spun out from Lux Libris as its own dedicated prayer app, Lux Fidei brings Catholic contemplative traditions directly into daily classroom routines.
Built to give teachers turnkey, reverent spiritual resources without added prep, it features guided Lectio Divina across 20 themes, Visio Divina using 47 works of sacred art, audio-guided Rosaries, and Stations of the Cross designed for whole-class reflection.
Contemplative Catholic prayer, built for the modern classroom.
In-house professional publishing for student authors
A full publishing house platform that turns students into published authors and editorial teams.
The system facilitates the entire publishing workflow: student writers submit manuscripts and track their progress online, while student editorial teams assign work, review submissions, communicate feedback, and curate collections.
By running their own school imprint from manuscript to final bound book, students master real editorial management, design, and literary craft.
Turning student writing into published print, and students into real publishers.
Bring this to your school or diocese.
