Independent developer, building products I hope genuinely help people.

I care about clarity, usefulness, and making software that feels calm and honest to use.

About

A few things that guide what I build.

01
Focus

I focus on small, real problems that get in the way of everyday work.

02
Principles

I prefer simple solutions, thoughtful defaults, and work that holds up over time.

03
Current

These days, I'm spending my time thinking about ownership, long-term use, and what it means for software to stay useful.

Have an idea or want to collaborate?

I'm always open to interesting projects and conversations. Whether you have a question or just want to say hi.
