I'm a Principal Software Engineer who gets unreasonably excited about understanding how things work under the hood — and then rebuilding them from scratch. Whether it's writing a compiler, playing with graph algorithms, or building developer tools that save engineers hours every day, I'm happiest when I'm deep in creator mode.
I believe the best software is software you own. That's why I self-host everything I can, and build tools that put privacy and data ownership first.
- Task Wizard — Privacy-first task management app. Your data stays yours.
