Notes on the things I've built: how they work under the hood, the trade-offs I made, and what I picked up along the way.
Building Beam: End-to-End Encrypted P2P File Transfer
How I built a zero-knowledge, peer-to-peer file transfer app where files are encrypted in the browser and streamed directly between devices over WebRTC, with a server that never sees a byte.
Building GearOne: Shipping a 3-System Mobile Platform Solo
How I built and deployed a production automobile-service platform (a React Native app, a Node.js backend, and a Next.js admin panel) sharing one Supabase database, in four months.
Building Sugi: A Terminal Git Client in Go
How I built a keyboard-driven TUI git client with the Charm Bracelet stack: full git workflow, PR/MR management, AI commit messages, and cross-platform single-binary distribution.
Building LaunchKit: Streaming AI Launch Copy
How I built an AI tool that turns a GitHub URL or a sentence into a full launch package: landing page copy, platform-tuned social posts, and a perfect pitch, all streamed in real time.
Building LocalGov.AI: Streaming Plain-English Law
How I built a civic-tech platform that turns dense legal language into plain English with Google Gemini, Server-Sent Events streaming, and a smart TTL cache that makes repeat queries 95% faster.
Building MetaMorpher: 700+ File Conversions, Zero Uploads
How I built a privacy-first file converter that runs entirely in the browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. 700+ formats, full offline PWA support, and not a single byte sent to a server.
Building ZAxis: Drop-In 3D Components for React
How I built a minimal 3D component library with React Three Fiber: production-ready 3D UI, a live customization panel, and one-click code export, so developers can add 3D without a Three.js deep dive.
