Builder. Ten years in performance marketing, then the choice to build things instead of selling them. I turn ideas into working products. AI writes fast; 42 taught me what’s underneath, so I can tell it to behave.

// this line stays: it comes from marketing
A bus-jam puzzle for your phone: tap a bus, clear the parking lot, get every passenger home. Endless levels, generated on the fly and always solvable. Plays in the browser, nothing to install.
Why_
The free games of this kind are more ads than game. I spent ten years buying ads, so I built one with none, ever.
TypeScript · Vite · Vercel
A potion-sorting puzzle for your phone: pour until every flask holds a single color. A solver checks that every level can be solved.
HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Web Audio
Tinder for movie night: swipe alone or in a room with up to 8 friends, and get a match the whole group agrees on.
Node · Express · Socket.IO · PWA · Docker
A Steam dashboard that turns raw API data into decisions: free games worth claiming, deals that beat the lowest price, what to play next.
Next.js · TypeScript · Postgres · Steam OpenID
The little server under my desk, turned into a template: modular Docker services, a custom dashboard, one setup script.
Docker Compose · Python · Tailscale
An IRC server from scratch in C++98: raw sockets, a single poll() loop, real clients like irssi and WeeChat. Written by hand, no AI.
C++98 · sockets · poll()
An Obsidian-style app for everything on my home server: notes that link to any file, a graph of how it all connects.
Electron · FastAPI · SQLite · Ollama
Hackathons and game jams: short deadlines, real teams.
I start from something that annoys me or the people around me, not from a technology.
ExampleIngorgo: free puzzle games that are more ads than game.
A working version in days. AI writes with me; what I learned at 42 lets me check it.
ExampleChewse: from idea to a working AI pipeline in a 2-day hackathon, team of 3.
Online, on a real link, usable by anyone. A demo nobody can open doesn’t count.
ExampleIngorgo and Steam Companion, live on Vercel.
Ten years of marketing taught me to look at the data, not at my opinion of it.
ExampleMy ad-reporting bot: about 50 campaigns a day I used to check by hand, now automated.
Then back to step one. Listen, test, fix.
