Small products I build for myself. Some are live, some are still in testing.
LiveGameplay clips
ClutchClips is live on the App Store. It turns clips you already have into a broadcast-style Top 10: rank them, trim each play, pick a look and a soundtrack, then export a reel for TikTok, Reels, and Messages.

Private testingSports opinions
CrownTakes is in private testing. It is a picks-and-opinions app for sports fans who love a hot take and hate how quickly those takes disappear.
Make the call, keep the record, and let the week prove you right or wrong.

In developmentGolf simulator
TurfTap is in development. It is the phone, iPad, and Apple Watch controller I built for GSPro golf sims. A small Windows bridge on the sim PC lets you change clubs, aim, launch the game, and drive the cursor over Wi-Fi.
Shot data and scorecards come back to the device, so the round lives in your hand instead of on a keyboard in the hitting bay.
In developmentSports video
Telestrate is a macOS editor for sports clips. Import footage, draw telestration on the play, record voiceover, generate captions on-device, then export a cut ready for social.
Built for the same job as a TV telestrator: make the read obvious, keep the story moving, and get out of the way.
CBS Sports
2018 to Present · Part-time
During the NFL and NCAA basketball seasons, I work with CBS Sports in social media. The account I manage is owned by my father, Gene Steratore, the rules analyst for CBS.
My job is to partner with on-air talent and translate NFL rules into clear, condensed posts. Those posts have been cited in thousands of sports articles and on television.
It is part-time, but it has been a real craft gym: visual design, motion, video editing, and working with a broadcast team under live-game pressure.

When officiating the line of scrimmage, general philosophy is not to be overly technical and split hairs over very minor infractions (such as a receiver's hand slightly breaking the LOS). However, when an infraction is so egregious and obvious, a flag has to be thrown. Kadarius Toney is blatantly lined up offside and in the neutral zone. You rarely see an offsides penalty on the offense, but that is not because this play in #BUFvsKC isn't a foul. It is because a receiver rarely lines up offsides.
Even though Chris Boswell is a kicker by position, on this fake field goal attempt, he is a passer. A defender cannot hit the passer forcibly in the head or neck area. IMO this should have been a 15 yard penalty for roughing in #PITvsCLE.
To have a completed pass, the receiver must: 1.) Secure control of the ball. 2.) Have both feet or a body part (other than hands) in-bounds. 3.) Perform a football move (take a third step, tuck the ball away, turn upfield, avoid or ward off an opponent) or maintain control long enough to do so.
