I build tools.
I write about them.
Indie developer. I ship small, sharp software from a quiet corner of the internet — and explain how I built it.
An indie dev
beside you.
I work alone, in public, on tools I want to use myself — and write about the parts I find hard so others don't have to relearn them.
Everything I publish has a feed. No tracking, no algorithm.
I keep small libraries running. Issues welcome.
One shipped per quarter. Each one is small and finished.
Long-form notes on what I learned, posted on my site.
A few per year, mostly at small meetups and conferences.
Light office hours once a month. Email to book.
Ask without opening a chat.
Most of my work this quarter is on Nomi — a focused tool I'm building in the open from Hangzhou. The interesting part isn't the code; it's figuring out what to leave out.
Small surface, sharp defaults, no configuration knobs. The kind of tool I want to use myself, and write about as I go.

I work in the open.
Every project I build is on GitHub. Every decision is in a public repo — the bad ones, the false starts, the cut features. If you're hiring or collaborating, you'll see how I think before we talk.
