With some help from AI, I hack together local-first tools because I’ve never had the luxury of depending on anything too fragile, expensive, or locked behind someone else’s system.

A lot of my projects come from real situations— digging through old accounts, trying to make sense of exported data, needing tools that just work without subscriptions, logins, or gatekeeping.

So instead of waiting for the “right” tools to exist, I make my own.

• Tools to open up and explore exported data (emails, files, archives that are technically yours but hard to use)
• Small apps that run locally in your browser or on your machine (no accounts, no backend, no strings attached)
• Creative tools that feel fun, a little messy, and human (collage makers, word games, visual editors)
• Things that are easy to copy, remix, and understand because not everyone comes from a traditional dev background

I don’t build polished, enterprise-style software.

I build tools that:

• work on a regular Windows machine
• don’t assume perfect setups or unlimited time
• can be understood by someone figuring things out as they go
• still function even if a company shuts down or changes the rules

Because that’s the environment I’ve always had to work within.

• Data export tools & experiments
• Frontend widgets you can drop into anything
• Creative apps (games, editors, generators)
• Weird little utilities that solved a very specific problem

If you’ve ever:

• hacked something together just to make it work
• learned by trial and error
• lost data that mattered to you because a platform suddenly disappeared
• lost data that mattered to you because you were banned from a platform
• or wanted tools that don’t treat you like a “user” but like a builder

—you’ll probably fit right in here.

🐾 Side note

Most of this gets built in between real life and long walks with my dog, Loki, who is significantly more important than any repo on this page.

Nothing here depends on permission to exist.
