§03 / About — One person, three apps, and counting.

Hi. I'm
the studio.

I'm Taylor Cascino — a builder who spent a decade in tech leading teams at places like Square, Google, and YouTube, then decided to build things of my own. Cascino Builders is the umbrella for that work: iOS apps that respect your time, the occasional essay, and whatever else I can ship from my desk in Orinda.

Rep Track 2.1 just shipped. StairSmith is live on the App Store. Kitchen Counter keeps score on my wrist every pickleball game.
Reading
Working through the classics — just finished Things Fall Apart. The newsletter pile grows taller than I do.
Outside
Swimming three mornings a week, pickleball Mondays, and goaltimate on Sundays when the field is dry.
