Sidequests

Tools built around the craft.

Software built on nights and off-days to make the main work — surgery, teaching, research — more structured. Each app began with a concrete friction worth solving; some are established tools, while others are still taking shape.

Screenshots show fresh installations with demonstration data only — no clinical, financial, or personal records.

App · 01

Surgical Log

If a case isn't logged, it can't compound.

A case log that works at hospital speed: five fields, twenty seconds, logged mid-corridor between cases. It builds the master operative record — exposure mapping, primary-versus-assist counts, audit-ready numbers — without ever touching patient identity.

Built because memory is a bad registrar.

Bench

Surgical skill is also built off the table.

A deliberate-practice bench for knots, suturing, and laparoscopic drills — timed sessions, rep counts, and objective GRS self-scoring. Practice gets a scoreboard instead of a vibe.

Tend

Get it out of your head.

A five-lane capture board for the constant stream of small obligations. Everything gets dumped into one inbox, triaged later, and closed with a tick — the point is a quiet head during rounds.

Nook

A cozy shelf for the internet.

Links, papers, and ideas get parked on a warm pinboard instead of dying across four hundred open tabs. Old saves resurface on their own, so nothing rots unseen.

Commonplace Fieldbook

A commonplace book, the old way, on new paper.

Reading notes captured as leaves and threaded by theme — the renaissance commonplace tradition rebuilt as a book-styled notebook, paper grain included.

Vaachanवाचन — 'reading aloud'

Books that read themselves.

Drop in a PDF — a textbook chapter, a paper — and it reads aloud with word-by-word highlighting. Built for commutes and tired eyes.

Developing

A film camera for two people.

A private two-person photo roll: both shoot blind, and the film develops only when the roll completes — photographs as delayed gratification.
