About

Software engineer and indie builder. I like turning ideas into real products, shipping quickly, and figuring out whether people actually want them. Currently building Watchside, a social layer for Twitch that makes it easier to find friends, see what they're watching, and watch together. Also experimenting with AI, developer tools, gaming, and whatever else seems worth building.

Watchside - See what your friends are watching on Twitch and join in!

Watchside goes beyond simply bringing a friends list back to Twitch. It adds a live social layer directly into Twitch that shows what your friends are watching, detects when multiple friends are gathering around the same stream, and lets you jump in with them. Instead of relying only on algorithms or follower counts to decide what to watch, Watchside makes your friends part of discovery. If people you know start gravitating toward a stream, you can see it happening and join them.
