Building
thoughtful
software,
slowly.

A personal studio for designing and engineering small, well-crafted digital products. No roadmap, no hurry — only the work that matters.

I'm a developer who believes the best products come from focused attention fewer features, deeper thinking, and an honest respect for the people who use them.

In progress

A quiet writing tool

A minimal markdown editor focused on long-form writing. Local-first, beautifully typeset, and free of distraction.

Researching

Reading rhythm

An experiment in slow reading. RSS reimagined for people who want depth, not feeds.

Sketching

Personal command center

A keyboard-first dashboard for daily life. Tasks, notes, weather, calendar — without the bloat.

Sketching

An audio walk companion

Soundscapes for cities. A small iOS prototype pairing ambient recordings with quiet walks.

These are private experiments. When something is ready, it'll appear here first. If you'd like to follow along, the best way is to write to me.

A short
note on craft.

01
— The way I work

Software should feel made by a person, not assembled by a team.

I work alone, on a small number of ideas, for as long as they need. The pace is deliberate because the work demands it — not because I'm trying to look thoughtful.

I don't take on client work, ship on a roadmap, or push to launch. The studio exists to give a few ideas room to grow into something worth using.

  • 001 Local-first. Your data stays yours. principle
  • 002 Quiet by default. Notifications, ads, and metrics — off. principle
  • 003 Honest pricing. Pay once when something ships. principle
  • 004 No tracking. No analytics, no third-party scripts. principle
