BuildingWhat I'm working on now.
BoringClockBuilding
Personal

A clock my son can understand.

Visual time for kids who can't read numbers yet. Shows time through color, routine, and context — not digits.

Feb 2026

Thomas asks "how long until..." twenty times a day. A regular clock doesn't help a kid who thinks in "after lunch" and "before bed." This shows time the way kids experience it.

Infrastructure

Manage your servers from your phone.

Mobile-first infrastructure management. Monitor, deploy, and respond to incidents without opening a laptop.

Jan 2026

Built because I kept SSHing into servers from my phone at 2am and the experience was miserable. A native interface for the things you actually need to do in an emergency.

Design System

The design system behind everything here.

Typography, color, components, and rules. One system that powers every tool in the workshop.

Feb 2026

Extracting the design language into a reusable system. Ink Mode: high contrast, no light gray for essential text. Quiet Fidelity: precision over decoration. This page is the first implementation.

Dev log

Every tool here passes one test: Would it still make sense to someone who's tired?
