About

Hi! I’m an independent Android developer driven by a simple goal: building tools that are genuinely useful. What started as a side project called BigText became much more meaningful when I realized it was helping people with speech and hearing difficulties in their daily lives. I believe technology should be simple, stay out of the way, and focus on human connection. I’m particularly passionate about accessibility and privacy (keeping data where it belongs: on the user’s phone). 🔒 Always happy to chat about indie dev, UX, or how technology can better serve those who need it most.

BigText - Zero-friction giant text & face-to-face communication app

No jumping between screens like in other giant-text apps. BigText is zero-friction: just open and type. The text scales perfectly in real-time to fill your entire screen. • Real-time scaling: Text adjusts to max size as you type. • 3 Sign Modes: Static fullscreen, horizontal banner, and vertical prompter. • Text-to-Speech: Read your message aloud with one tap. • Saves & Themes: Store frequent messages and customize your vibe. • Privacy first: 100% offline, everything stays on your device.
