How I decide what to build (and what to kill)
My practical framework for choosing side projects, validating them quickly, and shutting down ideas before they eat months of work.
I don't just ship projects.
I run small bets, learn fast, and build products people keep coming back to.
Less mockups, more shipped work — not screenshots.

Welcome to my site. I have worked across iOS, web, and OSS projects, with a focus on practical solutions, clean architecture, and tooling that improves developer workflow.
Most of my recent work is around Apple platforms, but I still enjoy building across the stack whenever the problem needs it.
