Built a career creating for others. Now creating for the curiosity of it.
Josh Ferguson
In 2024, I stepped back from the company I built.
I shifted my focus from growing a business to growing as a person. Now, I travel the world, gather inspiration, and build the late-night ideas that refuse to leave me alone.
Active Obsessions
Higher Ground, Clearer Sight
A near-future sci-fi novel exploring purpose, meaning, relationships, and the strange emptiness that appears once humanity solves survival. Born from equal parts systems thinking, philosophy, and late-night overanalysis.
Travel Onewheel
Engineering a travel-focused Onewheel setup designed for portability, modular batteries, durability, and exploration. Part transportation project, part excuse to disappear down scenic side streets in countries I probably shouldn't be riding through.
Original Music — Vol. 2
Back at it. A second pass at generative AI music — a lot more deliberate than the first.
Past Builds
Second Brain
Personal Knowledge System
A personal knowledge ecosystem built in Obsidian — mapping connections across parallel projects and transforming scattered notes into a system that actually thinks back.
Body Composition Tracker
Health Dashboard
Syncs with my smart scale to track fat, muscle, and other metrics over time. Built it when the number on the scale wouldn't budge — the data showed I was losing fat and gaining muscle. Gave me exactly the motivation I needed to keep going.
AI Chatbot Platform
Custom LLM Interface
A custom AI chat interface built on LLM APIs with context retention, tool use, and a personality that doesn't make you feel like you're filling out a support ticket.
Hubless Motor
Concept Design
Part engineering challenge, part obsessive spiral. A concept motor designed for a OneWheel-style platform with a focus on simplicity, torque, and visual elegance.
Mapped by Experience
Wall Art
A personal concept exploring how movement, place, and lived experience leave permanent layers behind.
The Golden Grove
A children's book
A children's book exploring patience, investing, and long-term thinking through a world built with AI-assisted origami-style artwork.
Check out the bookTrackr+
Customizable Web App
A custom stock and options tracking platform combining analytics, journaling, rules, and trading psychology into one system.
Original Music
Four tracks
I became slightly obsessed with generative AI music for a while. These tracks came out of that rabbit hole. Some are personal, some are playful, and all of them started as curiosity experiments that turned into something unexpectedly real.
Tasked
Time Tracker
A clean, opinionated time tracking app built for freelancers who wanted something smarter than a spreadsheet and less soul-crushing than enterprise software.
Till Death Rummy
relationship card game
A couples card game built around play, connection, and honest conversation. Rummy-style mechanics layered with prompts designed to bring partners closer — one hand at a time.
Drift
Colorado Beach Park
A vision for bringing the feeling of the beach to Colorado, centered around community, recreation, and giving younger generations a place to gather, work, and play.
MAILGEN
AI Sales Emails
An AI-powered tool that generated personalized sales emails from a prospect's context and email history. Built before everyone else had the same idea.
SUFR
Indoor Surf Park
A fully developed indoor surf park concept inspired by a dream, a love for the ocean, and the inability to leave ambitious ideas alone.
Blackjack Simulator
iOS App
An iOS app built to simulate thousands of blackjack hands with adjustable variables — bet sizing, deck count, strategy rules — to see if the math could ever tilt in your favor. It couldn't.
