Open Source Contributor

For 30 years, I have built web, mobile, and desktop apps from start to finish as an independent contractor.

This means that I have undertaken every possible role of an app maker: product manager, UX/UI designer, full-stack developer, cloud engineer, and so on.

I have also spent years creating open-source projects that, unfortunately, never gained traction since marketing isn't my strong suit.

An idea has been lingering in my mind for some time. Kindly visit the initial website to learn more.

It is something big that I cannot accomplish alone. Therefore, if the project resonates with you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm open to

raising funding.

I created CodebaseShow, a website enabling developers to publish codebase examples using various languages, libraries, and frameworks.

I created Run, an ambitious open-source project to enable a new generation of development tools. Unfortunately, this project never took off and is currently on pause.
