About

I am a software engineer and creator who enjoys building small delightful experiences on the computer. I have been coding for more than 15 years, working across startups and product teams, mostly helping others bring their ideas to life. Along the way, I learned that joy in software often comes from small moments of playfulness and surprise, not just utility. I like exploring animation, interaction, and the emotional side of everyday digital tools. I also collaborate closely with my family on creative projects. For me, making things is not only about work, but about curiosity, expression, and shared fun.

A Christmas Moment I Will Never Forget

Today, on Christmas Day, I received a gift that completely touched me. It was a handmade Noti Shiba from my two daughters, aged 7 and 13.

NotiSprite Got Its Travel Visa 🎉

I am happy to share that NotiSprite has officially been approved by Apple. Your beloved sprite can now travel from macOS to iPhone and iPad.

The same philosophy applies everywhere. No login, no ads, no data collection. It just works.

How a Customer’s Email Changed NotiSprite v1.4.0

NotiSprite launched almost two months ago, and I wanted to share this update here as well. It has been meaningful to see real users who genuinely understand what I am trying to create. Real reactions, real feedback, and real appreciation for the artwork and the effort behind it.

NotiSprite was also featured on Product Hunt, which honestly shocked me. I did zero promotion. None of my network even knew I was launching that day. I simply wanted to see if anyone out there cared about this small idea of animated companions on the desktop. It somehow ranked seventh, and that moment felt like a huge breath of relief. It made me feel that maybe this project actually has a place in the world.
