I build consumer apps. Mostly iOS.

As a kid, I always wanted to be a hacker, so I taught myself Perl at 16. Hacking didn't stick, but coding did.

By 18 I was shipping web apps, winning hackathons, and picking up freelance gigs. Soon after, I joined a startup as a founding engineer, all while still in college.

Right now: messing around with AI, and rewatching Naruto for the 4th time.

Things I've built

I've been shipping products for 5+ years, from founding engineer at an NFT startup to AI × consumer experiments. These are the ones I'm proud of.

  • Kept. An app that organizes screenshots on your phone and resurfaces the good things you save. Built with Prat. Went a little viral on X.

  • AskMeOut. See who wants to ask you out. Share a link, find out who's been too shy to say it.

  • kello.ai. AI that does the boring half of recruiting. Send it a JD, get back a shortlist worth calling.

  • datemedoc.com. A profile page to share who you really are. No swiping, no hookups, not another dating app.

  • Muzify. A music quiz app with 10M+ users. Play with friends, top the leaderboard, create wagers.

  • watchsomethingwonderful. Curated timeless YouTube videos for when you want to feel something. 1000+ people still use it every month.

  • Asset Money. NFT portfolio tracking, everything in one place. Built the whole product suite from scratch as founding engineer.

Fun experiments

Smaller things, weekend builds, and a few that only made sense at the time.

  • earshotTurns your iPhone into a remote mic for your AirPods.
  • sillypetA virtual pet for Claude and Codex, before Codex Pet.
  • expo-logo-creatorClaude Code skill that draws app icons for Expo projects.
  • LinkleeOne link that redirects anywhere you want.
  • FDFSDigital scrapbook for movie lovers.
  • Solana WrappedYour year on Solana, Wrapped style.
  • Music StatsApple Music listening stats, on iOS.
  • RadioThe first NFT radio on the internet.
  • Drops by AssetFree NFT airdrops every week.
  • WatsonReal-time alerts for NFT wallet activity.
  • AlfredSmart NFT recommendations based on traits and market conditions.

What I know

Mostly iOS, sometimes the web. I like working with designers, getting the little details right, and putting something in people's hands. A lot of vibecoding, a lot of tweaking until it feels right.

When I'm not coding

Traveling whenever I can, watching anime, or vibing to my playlist.

A few things that stay with me

Lee, out cold and still standing. Zoro, taking it all.

  • Rock Lee from Naruto, beaten and unconscious, still standing in his fighting stanceStill on his feet.Naruto, Rock Lee
  • Zoro from One Piece standing bloodied with his arms crossed after Thriller BarkNothing happened.One Piece, Zoro

A little borrowed courage.
