## Datum

Datum (https://datumci.com) is one system for running a construction company: projects, people, equipment, safety, and money in one place. Brett co-founded it and builds the product end to end as full-stack engineer: design, frontend, backend, architecture, security, infrastructure, and release.

## Work

- [Datum](https://brettboggs.dev/work/datum/): One system for running a construction company.
- [Photography](https://brettboggs.dev/work/photography/): Commercial, live music, and product photography, 2021 to 2023.
- [Websites](https://brettboggs.dev/work/websites/): Sites for small businesses. Lauren Becherer Pottery (https://laurenbechererpottery.com), handmade ceramics built around 360 degree turntable photography, and Knock Em' Down Detailing, a mobile auto and marine detailer in St. Louis: a new site, a new logo and brand kit, online quotes and booking, and an iPhone app to run the business.

## Apps

- [Slumbio](https://brettboggs.dev/slumbio/): An iPhone sleep app, released September 2026. Thirty-three of its thirty-five sounds are built as they play, so there is no loop to hear. Breathing sessions, a sunrise alarm, a sleep timer, and no network code in the app at all. On the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/app/id6808987732
- [Ladle](https://brettboggs.dev/ladle/): An iPhone app for recipes, wherever they come from: scanned off a card with the camera, shared from Safari, or typed in. Cook mode takes voice commands, a pantry tracks what is in the kitchen, and nothing leaves the phone.

## Lab

- [The MacArthur](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/trra/): A rail bridge approach in St. Louis, rebuilt to scale from OpenStreetMap and USGS public domain data, with an interactive model of the job.
- [The Field](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/field/): A prairie run on the GPU. Every blade is a spring in a compute shader, and the cursor is weather.
- [Keepsake](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/keepsake/): A seeded drawing, deterministic from its hash, different for every visitor.
- [Sprout Siege](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/sprout-siege/): An idle farm game for iOS, built around a simulation core that never touches the screen.
- [The Ridge](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/ridge/): A golden hour flyover, rendered in Blender and scrubbed by scroll. It runs the front page.
- [The Underground](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/underground/): The same ground as the Ridge, cut open six metres to rock. Roots grow as you scroll.
- [The Bridge](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/bridge/): A cable-stayed crossing that surveys, drafts and builds itself as you scroll. Datum's first landing film.
- [The Drafting Film](https://brettboggs.dev/lab/drafting-film/): A highway underpass you draft by scrolling. It ran Datum's landing page for one night.
