I'm Spencer Curnow, a psychology grad turned self-taught developer. I take a vision and ship it, using AI-augmented development to compress weeks of work into days. Most recently LinkUp Golf, a social app for golfers live on the iOS App Store. If you have something you want built, I'd like to build it for you.
The only golf app where you actually find someone to play with.
Every other major golf app, from 18Birdies to GolfShot to TheGrint, is a solo stats tracker. LinkUp is the only one where you can post “2 spots Saturday 8am at Chambers Bay” and have vouched-via-mutuals golfers claim a seat. Tee-time marketplace, GPS scorecard with USGA handicap, recurring group standings, a full trip planner with cost splitter, and a social feed with live mid-round updates. Designed against a 60+ accessibility floor because the first user was my dad's Saturday foursome.
Before LinkUp Golf there was a steady stream of side projects. Every one started with a real problem and shipped end-to-end. No tutorials, no toy apps, no abandoned half-builds.
A social audio analysis platform for producers and sound engineers. Upload any sound, get an instant breakdown: BPM, key detection, waveform classification, ADSR envelope, tone and texture. All computed client-side with custom FFT and DSP in Web Workers. Downloadable Vital synth presets, Ableton recipes, AI stem separation, plus a full social layer.
Scans 6 platforms (Reddit, Hacker News, Dev.to, Remotive, Jobicy, RemoteOK) every two hours. Surfaces freelance opportunities and scores them via a trainable keyword-weight model. Pro tier adds instant email alerts, budget parsing, and CSV export.
Automated daily job-search agent. Pulls listings from JSearch and Remotive, runs a two-pass scoring system (keyword filter, then Gemini fit analysis with resume matching and cover-letter talking points), and delivers a curated HTML digest to my inbox every morning.
I studied psychology at Boise State, earned a Music Production certificate, ran intramural sports for 1,900+ student participants, and currently lead PT aide operations at Prevail Physical Therapy in Shoreline.
I've always had ideas for tools I wished existed but didn't know how to code. When AI-assisted development clicked, everything else followed. Now I ship full-stack products in weeks, not months, combining a working knowledge of how people behave with the ability to actually build things.
Every project I've shipped started with a real problem I wanted to solve. Not a tutorial. Not a portfolio piece. A thing I needed, that I went and made.

Three things that compound. Each one shapes how I pick what to build, how fast I build it, and whether it actually ships.
A BS in Psychology means I identify why users struggle before I touch a line of code. Real empathy, not assumed personas.
Claude Code accelerates the work without cutting corners. I move faster on the boring parts so I can spend more time on the interesting ones.
Not prototypes. Not demos. Live products with Stripe payments, auth flows, actual users. If it isn't in production, it isn't done.
Two tracks running in parallel since 2024: shipping products on nights and weekends, and running customer-facing operations during the day. Both inform each other.

Graduated with a psychology degree and a music production certificate. The psych background still shapes how I read users and design product flows.

OperationsBoise State University
Drove 92% year-over-year retention across a 1,900+ participant base. Led a 29-person staff, administered the IMLeagues SaaS platform across 1,000+ annual events, lifted CSAT 15% via Qualtrics-driven interventions.
Picked one tool at a time, each chosen for a real project, not a tutorial. Heavy on the React + Supabase + Cloudflare side; comfortable anywhere the stack is plain JavaScript and a good API.
Project work is the headline. Send me what you want built, we'll scope it and figure out payment in conversation. Full-time roles welcome too if the fit is right.
