PROJECTS
Occasionally, I’ve had an idea for an app or extension that I wish existed. While I was a CS major for a brief time in college, I’m not really a developer. Sometimes I share ideas with others or ask around for someone to help me make something. But with the advent of AI-assisted vibe-coding, I’m now able to knock out some of these simple projects ‘on my own.’
These are projects I build for myself, and share them in case someone else could find them useful. Use them if you want. Tell others if you like them. But don’t worry, I know they’re rough around the edges. It’s just been a great way for me to bring some ideas to life and to build some new skills using AI at the same time.
Memory Jogger for LinkedIn
While I continue hunting for a new full-time role in early 2026, I was doing a lot more networking. A LOT more. But let’s face it: my memory for faces is pretty good, but my memory for how/where I know a person isn’t always so great.
I’ve needed a way to remind myself of how I know various people when I see them posting about opportunities or interesting topics on LinkedIn. But LinkedIn doesn’t make it easy. They bury the info for when you connected with someone, and they don’t provide any way of jogging your memory for how/why you connected with someone. There were also a few extensions out there that offered to help with the problem, but none had the feature set that I was looking for:

- Free,
- No account setup (or storing data on someone else’s server), but that syncs notes across devices
- Shows notes easily in the feed with little action
Some had 1 or 2 features, but I couldn’t find one that did them all.
So I decided to solve that problem. I’ve been using the extra time between full-time roles to build up skills in new areas, one of which is using AI to code new tools and applications.
Introducing: Memory Jogger for LinkedIn (see GItHub page to view source, make suggestions, etc)
A free Chrome extension that lets you make notes for yourself on anyone’s profile. The notes will be visible only to you, stay securely locked and encrypted in your Chrome profile, and sync across your devices.
Note: I welcome feedback and bug reports, but I can’t promise I will always be able to fix any issues. Like many extensions that modify/alter/add elements to another website, I am at the mercy of LinkedIn’s web team and how they might change page elements that end up breaking this tool. I’ll fix it when I can, but offer no warranty or assurances that this tool will always work.
