Three Things I Believe In
π Learn It, Use It, Love It
Technology should be understood, not feared. I help you learn what you need, use what works, and love the tools that make your life better.
βΏ Sound Money
Bitcoin shapes my thinking - long-term over short-term, sovereignty over convenience. That's why I accept sats and think in decades.
π Self-Sovereignty
Your data, your servers, your rules. I build with open source, deploy to your infrastructure, and ensure you own everything.
Why Work With Me?
I work full-time in finance (pays the bills), but my real passion is helping people escape surveillance capitalism with custom software that THEY own.
π€ AI Does the Heavy Lifting
GPT-4, Claude, and other AI agents build 90% of the code. Fast, efficient, affordable.
π I Ensure Quality
Every project gets human review. Architecture decisions, security checks, and common sense.
π― You Own Everything
Full source code, documentation, and deployment rights. No vendor lock-in, ever.
What Makes This Different
Hours not months
β¬50-500 for most projects
Your data stays yours

The human behind the code
π§ When I'm Not Coding
You'll find me at the climbing gym working on boulder problems. Same brain that debugs code at 3am is what gets me through a crimpy V7.
Bouldering taught me that complex problems need patience, creativity, and the stubbornness to try "just one more time" until it works. Sound familiar? That's basically debugging in physical form.
Currently working on: V8s at the gym, building boulderBro app to track sends
π¨βπ» Yes, I'm That Tech Friend
You know - the one who gets texts about router problems, "which phone should I buy?", and "is this crypto thing a scam?" I actually enjoy helping with this stuff.
What do I actually help with? Everything! New phone recommendations, setting up home networks, choosing hosting for your website, explaining why Bitcoin matters, debugging your smart home setup... if it's tech-related and you're confused, I'm your guy.
In this AI era, I can build incredibly personal, tailored solutions FAST. It's like having a tech-savvy friend who codes for fun and actually enjoys solving your problems.
π The "Good Tech Guy" Experience
You know how every neighborhood has "that tech person" everyone calls? That's me, but with way more expertise.
- "My WiFi is acting weird..." β I'll diagnose it
- "Should I learn Python or JavaScript?" β I'll walk you through it
- "Is this crypto thing a scam?" β Let's talk Bitcoin basics
- "Help! I need a website..." β I'll build it (the right way)
- "This app wants my data..." β I'll show you the private alternative
The difference: I actually know what I'm talking about, and I genuinely love helping.
π― Why I Build Stuff
Building software is pure joy for me. No corporate BS, no endless meetings, just "wouldn't it be cool if..." followed by a weekend of coding magic.
- It's FUN! Like solving puzzles all day
- It helps real people with actual problems
- I own the result (no corporate overlords)
- Privacy-first because your data is YOURS
- Fast iteration thanks to AI tools
"Can we make this but without the surveillance?" β Challenge accepted! π
π§ When I'm Not Coding
You'll find me at the climbing gym working on boulder problems. Same problem-solving brain, different type of puzzle to crack.
- Bouldering enthusiast (currently stuck on some V8s)
- Bitcoin educator (check out my interactive site!)
- Privacy advocate (your data shouldn't fund surveillance)
- Self-hosting nerd (why rent when you can own?)
Fun fact: The same patience that gets you through a tricky boulder route is what makes you a good debugger at 3am.
π My Simple Philosophy
"Technology should make your life better, not make you the product."
- Work should feel like joy (life's too short for boring jobs)
- Your data belongs to YOU (not some corporation's AI)
- Privacy isn't paranoia (it's basic digital hygiene)
- Build solutions, not dependencies (own your tools)
- Help real humans (metrics don't have feelings)
π¬ Let's Build Something
Got a project idea? Need custom software that respects privacy? Want to escape the SaaS subscription trap?
π¬ Got a project in mind?
Skip the formal email β let's just chat! I'll ask you some friendly questions and give you an honest assessment of what's possible.
No corporate speak, no sales pitches β just honest tech advice from someone who actually cares about your digital sovereignty.
π‘οΈ What You Can Expect
Same principles I live by:
- Honest advice (even if it means less work for me)
- Privacy-first solutions (your data stays yours)
- No vendor lock-in (you should own what you pay for)
- Clear explanations (no confusing tech jargon)
- Long-term thinking (build once, own forever)
Think of me as your tech-savvy friend who happens to be really good at building stuff.
