About

I started building because I kept finding little problems I wanted to solve for myself. Sometimes the solution was simple. Sometimes it took a lot of learning, mistakes, and starting over. Over the years, I've built apps including Low Battery Camera, Goodmood, LBVR, Slowlyy, and others. Each one has taught me something new about technology, design, and most importantly, how to turn an idea into something people can actually use. In 2022, I was grateful to be selected for the Apple Developer Academy. That experience changed the way I think about building software and made me even more excited to keep learning and creating.

Low Battery Camera - SHOOT BEFORE DEATH.

Low Battery Camera SHOOT BEFORE DEATH. My phone was getting old. Its battery wasn’t what it used to be. Long recordings? Not happening. I couldn’t afford a new phone or a battery replacement. So I built Low Battery Camera. Key features: Save every drop, segregated local gallery with pin, FAST transfer iPhone ↔ Android, It miaowws. Our battery is dying anyway. Make every shot count.

Why Programmers Hate LinkedIn?

Open LinkedIn for five minutes as a developer.

You will see a founder crying about failure in an airport lounge. A recruiter posting "Excited to share that I'm hiring!" for the fourteenth time this week. A motivational quote about hustle printed over a sunset. Three humblebrags disguised as life lessons. One "I'm grateful and blessed" announcement with 4,000 likes.

And somewhere, buried under all of it, maybe one actually useful post.

How many hours did you spend on your Mac each day?

I'm building an app to reduce screen fatigue on Mac. Has anyone found something that actually works?

Like many developers and founders, I spend most of my day on my Mac, coding, reading documentation, researching, chatting with AI, and writing.

I've tried eye drops, the 20-20-20 rule, regular breaks, and computer glasses. They all helped, but I kept wondering:

Why do we always have to adapt to our screens? Why can't our screens adapt to us?
