About
Solo builder and software engineer solving niche developer friction. I’m currently building PasteCheck—a mobile-first code linter designed to help devs debug on the go. I write about building Micro SaaS, technical constraints of mobile dev, and shipping fast as a team of one.
I write about the intersection of mobile-first development and developer experience (DX). Expect deep dives into building browser-based tools, optimizing web apps for handheld debugging, and the reality of launching independent projects without a massive budget.
Available for
Technical Writing: Sharing insights on building lightweight developer utilities and Micro SaaS. Feedback & Beta Testing: Always open to testing new dev tools or providing UX feedback on mobile-first products. Open Source Collaboration: Discussing the architecture of web-based linters and syntax highlighting engines. Solo Builder Networking: Connecting with other indie makers to swap distribution strategies.
