Builder working at the edge.
I am John Potess. FrontierNomad is my home base for building and exploring. Five ventures, one throughline: go further, learn fast, share what works.

Small tests. Clear notes. Steady progress. Each venture is its own story, collected here in one place.

A practice built over time.
FrontierNomad reflects years of building across ShipFoundry, DiveJourney, Kitecraft, PhaseDrift and SiteRally. I test ideas in the open, keep what holds up, and carry the lessons forward.
Keep exploring.
