Static
Soldier

Built by day. Builder by night.

Static Soldier is a project and workshop of BLT Innovations LLC.

I run production scheduling at a steel mill by day. By night I build — apps, games, an AI assistant, an invention, a novel, whatever the current obsession happens to be. Eight years in Air Force Security Forces before that.

I'm a husband and a father first, and everything here gets built around that: a spare hour after the kids are down, a morning before work.

This is a working record of what I make through BLT Innovations LLC — useful tools, games, stories, and experiments. Some projects are free; others are available to buy. The work comes first. No hard sell.

The Final Odyssey

A fantasy and nautical adventure novel, about 81,500 words across 33 chapters. Two years in the making, published under BLT Innovations.

Stack Master: Billet Yard

Alpha

A steel mill simulation game — 40 levels of routing billets, keeping the line moving, and climbing from Yard Hand to Yard Manager. Built it because I live the real version every day. Playable now, still being built out.
