Brett Boggs

Co-founder, Datum · St. Louis

Co-founder of Datum, an all-in-one construction management platform, building the product end to end as full-stack engineer: design, frontend, backend, architecture, security, infrastructure, and release. Before that, a decade running physical operations, a car wash chain and a real estate investment company, where the same instinct turned manual intake, correspondence, and reporting into systems that ran without me.

Projects

Slumbio

apps.apple.com/app/id6808987732

An iPhone sleep app, on the App Store. 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.

Ladle

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.

Lauren Becherer Pottery

laurenbechererpottery.com

A site for a ceramicist, built around 360 degree turntable photography of the real pieces so the glaze reads true. Astro, static, with a no-code studio admin she runs herself, Stripe checkout, and private progress pages for commission clients.

Knock Em' Down Detailing

brettboggs.dev/work/websites/ked-detailing

A rebuild for a mobile auto and marine detailer, off an unfinished Squarespace template and onto an Astro site carrying his own 4K footage and his real reviews. Then a new logo, redrawn as vectors into a brand kit that runs across the site, emails, stickers and app icon, plus online quotes, booking and an iPhone app to run the business.

brettboggs.dev

This site. Astro, static, hand-built design system, a Blender-rendered scroll film on the front page, and a build that measures and logs itself.

Sprout Siege

brettboggs.dev/lab/sprout-siege

An idle farm game for iOS, built around a simulation core that never touches the screen.

CRM intake automation

Providence Capital

Inherited a manual intake process with a 15% error rate and a 3-day turnaround. Redesigned it end to end with custom fields, validation rules, conditional logic, and automated notifications: 100% accuracy, processing time halved, 500+ files a month with almost no manual touch.

Multi-location reporting

Tidal Wave Auto Spa

Twelve hours a month of manual compilation across eight locations, with no live view. An automated dashboard in Google Sheets and Salesforce pulling live data, calculating KPIs, and sending weekly exception reports cut that to two hours, read by 20+ people every week.
