I build AI products, developer tools, and local-first software.

Most of what I build starts with a question.

What happens when software meets real-world constraints?

Unstable internet. Payment friction. Privacy. Low trust. Small teams. Limited budgets.

People still need useful tools.

That's the kind of software I like building.

Currently shipping and exploring:

• privacy-first PDF tools
• peer-to-peer sharing
• AI-native builder education
• offline and low-connectivity AI
• products for people working under real-world constraints
• developer tools that help people move from idea to shipped product

I am perpetually curious, so my work often moves between product engineering, AI systems, education, and experiments that look small at first but reveal something useful.

Privacy-first, open source PDF toolkit for merging, splitting, rotating, compressing, and working with PDFs without unnecessary uploads.

I keep coming back to problems that become obvious once you leave the happy path.

• software that still works when the internet is weak
• tools that respect privacy by default
• AI that remains useful outside polished demos
• education that ends with shipped projects instead of certificates
• developer tools that remove friction instead of adding more abstractions
• products shaped by local realities, but useful far beyond them
