About

Hi there! šŸ‘‹ I'm a developer who loves building lightweight, free tools to fix specific workflow pain points. I believe software should be accessible and simple. I'm currently building tools to help with media processing and document management. My recent projects include: AllSubConverter: A free tool to convert subtitle formats easily. PDFAnnotations: A way to export PDF comments and highlights instantly. Follow me to stay updated on my journey of building useful web apps!
