About

I’m a software engineer who builds small products outside of work to solve problems I personally run into. PurrPilot came from traveling long distances with my own cats and realizing that existing navigation tools optimize for speed, not for what pets actually need during travel. I prefer shipping focused, opinionated tools and iterating based on real usage rather than assumptions. I’m interested in building practical products that start small, solve a specific problem well, and grow based on feedback.

PurrPilot - Route planning for people who travel with cats

Most navigation apps optimize for speed. They do not optimize for traveling with cats. PurrPilot is an iOS route-planning app built for cat parents who travel by road. It focuses on calmer, safer, and more predictable journeys instead of just the fastest route. The app uses Apple Maps by default, with an option to switch to Google Maps based on user preference. It is intentionally simple and grounded in real trips taken with cats, not generic travel assumptions.
