ABOUT ME

I'm a developer and digital artist building local-first desktop tools. I believe software should run on your machine, store data locally, and work without asking permission from a server. No subscriptions, no cloud dependency, no tracking.

My main tools are Python and PySide6 for desktop applications, with Godot for game development. I've been on Linux since Ubuntu 7 and it's still my primary platform.

My projects span a range of interests: RedLight for photographers who want a lightweight RAW editor, Whittl for anyone who wants to generate desktop apps with AI, Cinebit for physical media collectors who want a proper way to browse their movie library, and D-Pad for Linux gamers who want a clean launcher.

I also have a background in digital art and motion graphics. The retro aesthetic you see across my projects isn't just style — I genuinely love the 16-bit era and the constraint-driven creativity it represents.
