hello

I make small things quickly, mostly at odd hours.

Replace this with the one sentence you'd say if someone asked what you do at a party and you only had their attention for six seconds.

The longer version

Who's typing

Say where you are and what you do during the day. Two sentences is plenty — the projects page does the real convincing.

Then say why you build things. Maybe it's that you'd rather spend an evening making the tool than twenty minutes doing the thing by hand. Maybe you just like watching an idea turn into a URL. Be specific; specific is what people remember.

Close with what you're curious about right now. Keep it current — it gives visitors something to email you about.

How this usually goes

My working method, honestly described

Start

Annoyance first

Every project starts as something small that bugged me. If it doesn't scratch a real itch, it doesn't get built.

Middle

Ugly and working

I'd rather have a hideous thing that runs tonight than a clean thing that runs in a month. Design comes after it's useful.

End

Ship or shelve

If it's still fun after a week, it gets a domain. If not, it goes on the shelf and I keep the parts I learned.

Tools on the bench

What I reach for

  • JavaScript
  • Python
  • React
  • Tailwind
  • Claude
  • Cloudflare Workers
  • SQLite
  • Figma

The good part

Enough about me

Everything I've built, including the ones that didn't work out.
