Hi, I'm Jack Francis

AI Director • Software Engineer • Builder

I build data-driven applications and lead AI initiatives. This site showcases personal projects and speaking engagements — all powered by a single Flask monorepo deployed on Render.

NFL Game Dashboard

Weekly NFL game tracking dashboard with automated scoring.

ChoreBot

A household chore tracker with smart scheduling.

Keeping track of recurring household chores across multiple people is tedious. ChoreBot automates scheduling, tracks completion, and keeps everyone accountable.

Longest Word Game

A daily word puzzle — find the longest word from random letters.

Looking for a quick, brain-teasing daily game? Each day a new set of letters is generated, and players compete to find the longest valid English word.

CFB Scoreboard

Live college football scores and schedules.
