Fly Wright Consulting

Sep 2025 - Current (9 months)

I founded Fly Wright Consulting to help companies keep it simple. The modern software world is buggy and bloated. With my knowledge of both low-level systems programming and end-to-end testing, I help simplify vague problems into measurable success through tools, training, and elbow grease.

Grooverly

Aug 2025 - Current (10 months)

Grooverly is an application to help musicians get organized, connect with their fans, and get paid. I started working on this as a side project for my own gigs, then realized there wasn't anything else on the market quite like it and decided to share it with other gigging musicians. Grooverly is a SAAS PWA written in Golang with an HTMX frontend, designed to work even on the cell phone connection at some of the most remote venues in the country. I've integrated Spotify and Stripe to help musicians turn their practice playlists into setlists and get tips with a QR code. Grooverly is currently in Beta and looking forward to a full international launch later this year.
