# Zack Richardson

> Zack Richardson lives in the Milwaukee area and builds software in his spare time. Through his company, Richardson Business Ventures, he rebuilds websites for Milwaukee businesses and sets up small recurring automations for them.

## Projects

- Auryn: a personal assistant he built that runs on a computer at home. It handles email, calendar, reminders, a morning briefing, the lights, and a lot of his coding. It hands build jobs to coding agents, has a second model review each change, and sends only real decisions to his phone as swipeable cards (the Deck). Case study: /work/auryn/
- Wordhold: a dictation keyboard for iPhone, Android and Mac. Speech is transcribed and cleaned up on a computer at home. Not released.
- Spire Fitness: a spin and strength studio in Milwaukee's Third Ward, bought in October 2025. He rebuilt spire-fitness.com off Squarespace. Case study: /work/websites/
- Bet Boyz: a weekly pick'em game for his friends, with standings that update live during games.
- Game Night: party games played on phones, free at https://play.richardsonbusinessventures.com/ (first game: Against the Tide, trivia with one secret player on the other side).
- Smaller projects: a wall display with the day's calendar and lists, a study app for the CFA exam, and a wall grid being 3D printed at home.
- Retired: Software Factory, an earlier experiment that wrote whole apps from a long spec. Best run: a copy of cal.com that passed 99% of 127 test scenarios. Retired in October 2026.
