Film / narrative site
The Fractured Archive
An episodic film site with a twelve-entry record and a release gate enforced on the server, not in the page. Ten episodes published, about 29 minutes of video live.
thefracturedarchive.orgFilms, worlds, books — and the software that runs them.
A one-person studio. I write the world, produce the film, set the book, and build the system that ships it. Everything on this page is live and clickable, or it isn’t on this page.

Interactive web artifact
The Registry
A grimoire in four movements — Door, Registry, Oracle, Rite. 32 relics and 60 transmissions, 21 of 21 tests passing, with a published threat model that includes what it does not cover.

The Reliquary
A catalogue of thirteen physical marks and seven colouring volumes, each with its own product photography and checkout.

Loadout
Equipment inventory built for the photography company I work at. In use by seven people since June: 527 items, 40 recorded handoffs, 39 reservations, QR check-in and out, and reservations that refuse to double-book.

Curio
A digest engine I built and run for myself: it watches its own sources, runs its own tests and takes its own backups without being asked. Not a product and not for sale — it is here because the machinery is the point.

What I make
01
Film and episodic series
Short films and episodic series taken from a source text through shot planning, production, grade, narration and a delivery pipeline that actually publishes them — renditions, posters, cache-busting and all.
- Shot planning
- Narration
- Grade
- 1080p + 720p renditions
- Publish pipeline
12 episodes shipped
02
Worlds and narrative systems
A universe with rules that hold: canon, characters, a written voice, and the continuity machinery to keep a long work from drifting. Built to be extended by other people without breaking.
- Canon and continuity
- Character records
- Voice guides
- Long-form manuscripts
133 canon entries
03
Print and publication
Manuscript or footage to press-ready files. Real production specs, not approximations — trim, bleed, spine width from the printer’s own formula, bilevel interiors, blank versos where ink would bleed through.
- Interiors
- Covers and wraps
- 300 DPI print-ready PDF
- Typesetting
129 plates, 7 volumes
04
Interface and identity
Colour, type, grid, spacing, states and the actual screens — delivered as a working stylesheet and live pages, not a slide deck. No framework to go out of date, and every decision written down for whoever comes next.
- Design systems
- Live pages
- Documented decisions
- Offline-capable
45 interactive pieces, 45 territories

Software and internal tools
One tool for the thing your team currently runs on a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and a group chat. Roles and permissions, scan in and out, reservations that refuse double-bookings, email that actually sends, nightly backups.
- Web app + installable PWA
- Role permissions
- Transactional email
- Backups
- Onboarding kit

How I work
Stage 1
Call
Thirty minutes, free. What you are making, what is in the way, and whether I am the right person. Sometimes the answer is no.
Stage 2
Written scope
A document you approve before anything gets made. If I scoped it wrong, I re-scope once at no cost.
Stage 3
Built in the open
You get a working URL or a first cut early, not a reveal at the end. Course corrections are cheap in week one and expensive in week eight.
Stage 4
Handover
Files, source and a written guide, in your accounts and your name. Nothing important stays on my machine.
Stage 5
Thirty days
Fixes after handover are included, not a line item. After that there is an optional care plan if you want one.

Method
Three hundred and ninety-one clips were cut down to twelve episodes. The first build of the colouring plates came out scratchy and broken, so it was thrown away and rebuilt from scratch rather than shipped. Every stock narrator voice was rejected in favour of my own. A composition signature collapsed 314 candidate pages to 230 unique ones, catching 47 near-identical repeats that a perceptual hash had missed.
The work is in the deciding and the discarding. Making a thing is the easy half. The job is knowing which one is right, how many attempts that takes, and being willing to throw away the first finished version when it is not good enough.
The same applies to the software. No frameworks, no build step, no dependency that can break on someone else’s release schedule — every application listed above is written against the standard library and will still run in five years.
