Building things. Software, games, tools, and metal. Independent projects from a one-person shop with a bias toward making things that actually work.
Every webpage you visit is technically a shared space — you just can't see who else is there. Who's Here? fixes that. Install the extension, and a live chat room appears wherever you browse, tied to the exact URL you're on. No accounts, no sign-ups, no friction. It's anonymous, instant, and works on any site. Whether you're reading the news, watching a product page, or deep in a niche forum, someone else might already be there.

Parcel is a property intelligence platform built specifically for Essex County. It surfaces real GIS data on 86,000+ parcels across 7 municipalities — ownership records, lot boundaries, zoning, and more — in a clean, browsable map interface. Beyond just data, it lets users flag claims and send private offers directly on a parcel. It's the kind of tool that used to require a lawyer or a title search. Now it loads in a browser.
Beta
Commercial drone services for Essex County and the surrounding region. Inspections, orthographic mapping, real estate photography, agricultural overviews — flown by a certified operator in full compliance with Transport Canada regulations. The combination of a machinist's eye for precision and aerial perspective means you get footage and data that's actually useful, not just pretty.

Custom parts, tooling, and mould work from a Certified Mould Maker (431A) with hands-on experience in precision manufacturing. Manual mill and lathe operations for one-off parts, repair work, fixtures, and prototype tooling. If you need something made to a spec — not approximated, not 3D printed, not outsourced overseas — this is the option. Based in Essex County, available for local and regional work.

// The operator
Southbridge Machines is the working name for everything built by Jason — a developer, tradesman, and maker based in Leamington, Ontario.
The name means what it says. Machines as in the shop. Machines as in the software. Machines as in the things that get built when someone refuses to stop at one discipline.
Projects span Chrome extensions, property tech, multiplayer games, drone services, and CNC work. Whatever the problem is, the bias is always toward building a real solution for it.
