Engineering Leader · Ottawa
Adam OscarKlockars
Engineering leader with close to 15 years building and scaling enterprise SaaS platforms, APIs and developer ecosystems — most recently leading App Marketplace engineering at Zoom. Below: a few things I've been building on the side, plus a couple of playable experiments.

Curve Appeal
Understand your body. Feel confident in your curves.
A proportion calculator that runs entirely on your device. Snap a photo, drop a few overlays, and get ratio-based insight — breast, eye and lip proportions, the 2D:4D digit ratio, and golden-ratio facial analysis. Photos are never uploaded or stored.
- 100% on-device — photos never leave your phone
- Five proportion analyses
- Golden ratio & 2D:4D digit ratio
- Private, anonymized history
Hockey analytics · Decision intelligence
Beyond the Metric
Measuring how players read the game.
Coaches upload arena game video and Breakout IQ scores every decision moment against a research-backed rubric — turning raw footage into a Team IQ and player profiles that coaches and parents can actually use.
- Scores every on-ice decision moment
- Research-backed rubric → Team IQ
- Strong / slow / missed reads
- Player profiles for coaches & parents
Caregiving · Dementia support
Tilia
One calm place to care for someone with dementia.
Tilia helps families notice what's changing, remember the day-to-day, and keep everyone who helps on the same page — without juggling six different apps. A general-wellness tool, never a diagnosis.
- One shared, accessible care record over time
- Plain-language dementia support & helplines
- Care circle gets a heads-up when things change
- Private by design — encrypted, stored in Canada
Play
Things I build for fun
Tic-Tac-Toe and the collage tool are rebuilt from the original 2012 Django version of this site. The games are newer — built from scratch, inspired by projects and games from past experiences. They all run entirely in your browser.

About
I build platforms — and the teams behind them.
I'm an engineering leader with close to 15 years building and scaling enterprise SaaS platforms, APIs and developer ecosystems — lately with a focus on AI-powered, data-driven product capabilities. Most recently I led US engineering for Zoom's App Marketplace; before that, I spent years at SurveyMonkey growing its developer platform and integrations and leading the initial build-out of its Market Research Solutions. The projects above are what I build on my own time.

- Developer Platforms & APIs
- App Marketplaces
- Distributed Systems
