I build software that's convenient, transparent, and actually enjoyable to use. I focus on solving real problems—starting with my own—then making those solutions available for everyone.
Current focus: Building self-hosted alternatives to expensive SaaS, exploring gamification patterns, and contributing to open source. I do contract work for Secton.org, contribute to various projects, and work on tools that prioritize user control and transparency.
In 2025, I got into the Fyne conference with a Go project—proof that experimenting with new tech pays off. I'm strongest in PHP but actively expanding my React skills because branching out makes you better.
Human-Centered Design — Your software should work how you work, not the other way around. I build with extensive customization and thoughtful details that add up to something meaningful.
Convenience First — When you focus on convenience, everything else falls into place. All those little features that tie everything together emerge naturally.
Open & Transparent — Self-hosted alternatives to expensive SaaS. You own your data. Open source by default because transparency builds trust.
Always Learning — Currently exploring gamification and human-focused interface design. The goal: software people actually enjoy using, not just tolerate.
My Approach: Laravel for speed and familiarity. React for modern UX. PostgreSQL for reliability. When something needs to be simple or niche, I drop back to plain PHP. I prefer TypeScript for type safety, Tailwind and Framer Motion for React projects, and I'm not afraid to write plain CSS when the situation calls for it.

A plug-and-play blog solution for React Building a fully-featured alternative to Outstatic that's designed to be dropped into any React project. Focused on developer experience, flexibility, and keeping things simple. 🎯 Goal: Self-hosted, customizable, and developer focused. Full CLI, studio, and extremely easy to use. You wouldn't even need AI to understand how it works! |

Profile widgets for your GitHub README Creating embeddable profile widgets for GitStreak that let you showcase your coding streak and stats directly in your README. Making streak tracking more visual and shareable. 🎯 Goal: Beautiful, customizable widgets that celebrate consistent coding habits. |
💡 Expect more projects to show up here as I explore new ideas and build solutions to problems I encounter!
I started programming by following a YouTube tutorial to build a notepad app in C#. That curiosity turned into desktop development, then web development, and now I'm here—building tools I wish existed when I started.
Beyond code, I'm a creative writer (science fiction & speculative fiction), a skier, and a gamer. I believe that compliments, encouragement, and a human touch are what make great software stick.
My Goal: Make enough from my projects to go full open-source and focus entirely on building solutions to modern problems. Software that respects you, gives you control, and doesn't lock you into subscriptions you can't afford.
💡 I'm working on an embeddable profile widget for GitStreak—expect a few more things to show up here soon!
I'd love to hear from you—whether it's about collaboration, feedback, or just chatting about development philosophy and building better software.
If you find value in what I'm building, consider sponsoring my work.
Every bit helps me move closer to full-time open source.
