About
One app for everything happening in Worcester: local news, weather, sports, events, transit, and more. Built by a neighbor, powered entirely by public data. No ads, no tracking, no subscriptions. Always free.
WooPulse is a comprehensive dashboard for Worcester, Massachusetts. Grab a coffee and check in on the local forecast, whether the Framingham/Worcester Line is running on time, last night's WooSox scores, tonight's show at the DCU Center, what's on the City Council agenda, and whether there's a parking ban. No ads trying to pull your attention away — just the info you need.
I was born and raised in Worcester. After about a decade away — Penn State, a stretch on national-security contracts in DC, and a brief detour trying my hand at acting in Hollywood — I came home. I've spent the last decade-plus building software, and WooPulse is where those two threads meet.
I built it because I wanted all of Worcester's local information and history at my fingertips in one app — and I knew I could make it. It's become a real passion project: a way to put my knowledge, skills, and curiosity to work for my fellow Worcester residents.
I also hope it inspires. As I launch a platform to help anyone bring their own ideas to life, I want WooPulse to stand as proof of what one person, building in the open, can make for the place they love.

This is also an argument: that useful software can be free, ad-free, and respectful of your privacy and your data — software that evolves to serve the people who use it, not venture capitalists and shareholders.
