Justin Zagar South Florida available now full-time, remote or hybrid

Lead product designer and design engineer

I make the screens a business runs on, like the ones a warehouse uses to find a wheel or a family uses to share a list, and I build the software behind them.

I design the interface and build the system underneath it.

Thirty years of it, starting at fourteen on my home computer. The software I built for one wheel business has run it since 2012: 22,000+ orders, $3.5M+ in sales.

The listing tool I designed, feeding the store I built. One wheel: photographed on the rack, looked up by its Hollander number, priced, and on the storefront and eBay. 22,000+ orders through it since 2012.

Brainstorm, the brand engine I built. Move one colour and the whole identity follows.
Core, the shared desk my family runs on. Drop a file, leave a note, draw on it; the other person sees it land live.

2004. The Greeting Wizard I built for Payless Car Rental. Pick a card, write the note, and the card takes shape. The same round trip, twenty years earlier.

Imagine, the CMS I built, editing VAS, my own design language. Pick a theme and every control on the page follows the rule.

Pocket Juke, the music player I built for my own phone. Kotlin, Compose and Media3. Live tiles you hold to resize and rearrange, over a jukebox rainbow; a Now Playing screen that washes to each song's colour; search, a quick list and an equalizer.

The order ledger, 13,000+ orders through it. Every channel in one table: Sync pulls the new eBay sale in, a status change asks to be confirmed, and the row turns the color of where the wheel is.

2002. mySite, the self-publishing tool I built for the Muskego-Norway schools. A teacher filled in a form and their page changed, no webmaster in the way. The round trip, at the very beginning.

Punchlist, the Android task app I built for my family. Everything due on one rolling wheel: what is coming, what is due, what is done. A new task is a few taps, and it can wait to remind you until you reach the store.

A concept, built in a week for one application. Scan the shelf, scan what's on it, and when a count is a long way off the app asks once more instead of letting one miscount change stock. Unsolicited, not a client, all data invented.

Templatizer classic, 2013 to 2019: the first generation of the listing tool. The same job as the 2026 one at the top of this cycle, built for a two-person shop.

The warehouse app, on the tablet by the packing bench. One order from the pack lane to a FedEx label in five taps: box, weight, cost, carrier, review. Designed for someone standing up with gloves on.

historical project archive

29 sites and applications I built between 1999 and 2013, running right now. Not screenshots. The original code, running again, with the real records swapped for invented ones. Open one and use it: fill in the forms, sign into the admin behind it, break something.

These eight are where I would start. The rest, grouped by year →
