Building tools that respect your time.

About

I'm a software developer who builds pragmatic tools. My core belief is that software has become too complex, and we need to fix it. My focus is on fighting "complexity theater" by building tools that are radically simple, developer-friendly, and beautifully functional. I believe a tool should solve a problem without creating three new ones. My core values in software are: - Radical Simplicity: If it needs Kubernetes, I've failed. - Zero Configuration: It should just work, out of the box. - You Own Your Data: No clouds, no subscriptions. Just you and the tool. - Beautiful ≠ Complex: Simple tools deserve a professional, modern user experience. I'm always interested in connecting with other developers who believe in building pragmatic, user-respecting software.
