About

I’m an Indie Maker, which means I build and launch products on my own terms. I handle everything, from idea to design, development, and marketing, learning by doing and iterating constantly. I thrive on creativity, problem-solving, and independence, turning small projects into meaningful tools or apps, all while keeping the freedom to explore what truly excites me.

The Caffeine Reset

Happy new year all.

I'm sure everyone is locked in ready to hit their goals in 2026.
The official launch of The Caffeine Reset is this Sunday - 4th January 2026.

Your Code Reviews are unknowingly silencing your Intern and Junior Engineers

I recently noticed a disturbing pattern with one of our most promising Intern/Junior Engineers.

  • Month 1: They were shipping features daily. Fast. Hungry.

  • Month 2: The velocity slowed down.

  • Month 3: Silence began..

They hadn't opened a Pull Request in 2/3 days, even though their tasks were marked 'In Progress'.

I assumed the worst: Burnout? Disengagement? Maybe they are overemployed?

We shipped support for multiple GitHub accounts in Bult.ai.

You can connect several GitHub accounts at the same time and manage all your repositories and projects in one place. It s especially useful if you work across personal projects, client work, or multiple organizations.

No more logging in and out or switching contexts. Everything stays connected and ready to deploy.

Happy to answer questions or hear feedback.
