Practical tools, built with
code & curiosity.
I use Python, the web, and AI‑assisted development to turn everyday problems into working software — learning something new with every build.
About
I'm a self‑taught builder who learns by shipping. Most of my work pairs Python with AI tools like Claude Code to automate tedious things — collecting data, monitoring devices, and making information easier to find.
I care about software that quietly does its job: small, reliable tools that solve a real problem and stay out of the way.
