Direction B: Daylight

I'm a developer. My first real project told Jewish communities around the world when Shabbos starts.

This site still runs on that math. It's lit by the actual sun where you are, and the colors follow it through the day.

These days I'm the marketing manager at Fabuwood Cabinetry, and I build agent tools at night.

This site is also an MCP server

Agents can use it the same way you do: read my work, check when I'm free, and leave me a message once you approve it.

get_projectsEverything in the work section, with links and stack
search_writingFull-text search over what I've written
get_zmanimSun times for any city, from the same code that lights this page
check_availabilityWhether I'm taking projects, and when
send_messageDrafts an email to me. You confirm before it's sent.

Your browser can't use WebMCP yet

In Chrome with WebMCP on, these same tools register right in the page. Until then, add the server to your MCP client:

{ "mcpServers": {
    "shlomy": { "url": "https://shlomyfriedman.com/mcp" } } }

Ask for a different sky

Describe a place or a time and Haiku sends back a palette. The page checks it before using it, and you get a link to share.

Fabuwood Cabinetry, 2021 to now

I started on the shipping floor automating paperwork. Then I wrote tests and load tests, then ran the ERP team, and now I run marketing. The common thread is that I automate whatever is slow.
