a lil about me
i'm a software engineer and a builder. i like taking things apart until i understand how they work, and if the usual way doesn't really make sense to me i usually end up hacking at it or building my own version.
when i was younger that meant game servers, home data centers, companies, and tools for myself. now it's usually software: secure infrastructure, apps, ai assistants, or internal tools that make some annoying process easier.
most of the things i build start as private tools for myself, but lately i'm trying to share more of them here.
things i've built
mirra – a small mac app for creating clean apple-style screenshots and recordings from your iphone or ipad.
bettershift – a lightweight mac app for controlling your display's color temperature with support for command line and apple shortcuts.
august – a desktop app for running coding agents on your machine, your own server, or in the cloud, with a phone remote.
sand – persistent kvm dev machines with a full linux desktop, saved to shared storage so any host can spin one up within 30 seconds. august's cloud mode runs on it.
