What I Believe In
I've been doing this for over twenty years—and by “this” I mean the whole thing. Design, UI/UX, code, marketing, support. Not because I'm a control freak, but because owning the full process means every decision is deliberate.
I'm a builder. I'd rather ship something real than debate architecture in a whiteboard session. Clean, pragmatic, efficient—that's what I aim for. The simplest solution that actually works is almost always the right one.
I care deeply about privacy and data sovereignty. Not as a marketing angle—as a principle.
I don't like ads. I don't like tracking. I don't like software that phones home, collects usage metrics, or quietly builds a profile of how you use it. Most of the software industry has decided that users are the product. I disagree.
My apps reflect this. No tracking. No ads. No accounts. No servers storing your data. When you use something I built, your data stays on your device. Period. You have full sovereignty over it, and that shouldn't be anything special—it's the bare minimum that I think every developer owes their users.
How I Work
I'm a full-stack developer in the broadest sense of the word. If a project needs Swift, I write Swift. If it needs PHP, Ruby, Rust, C++, or JavaScript, I write that. If the right tool for the job is a language or framework I've never touched before—I'll learn it. I'd rather spend a week getting comfortable with the right technology than months fighting the wrong one.
Most of what I build is free to use. A good chunk of it is open source under permissive licenses—basically, do whatever you want with it. I don't care. I've never been interested in locking things down or extracting maximum revenue from every user interaction. I build tools I use myself, and then I share them.
