I build complete products end to end: websites, online stores, booking tools, dashboards, internal apps. Not mockups or slide decks. Working software that ships, and that the people I build it for actually own.

Most software today is rented. You pay every month, forever, for tools you never own and can never really change. I build the opposite: products you pay for once and then run yourself, with no subscription quietly draining your account in the background.

Currently I am building the mint family: Sitemint, Booqmint, BulkMint, Brandmint, Socialmint, Contentmint and Nod. Tools you pay for once and own forever, alongside client builds that ship end to end.

it's me

When I'm not building, I'm pulling apart someone else's product to work out why it feels effortless, or why it makes you want to throw your laptop out a window. Usually with chai.

What dive into my work

Own it, don't rent it

The best software is the kind you actually own. I build products you pay for once and keep, instead of tools that bill you every month just to keep working.

think first, draw later.
no perfect world here!

Ship real, not pretty

A perfect prototype that never ships helps nobody. I care about working products in real hands: the booking that confirms, the store that takes the order, the page that loads fast on a cheap phone.

Build for the person, not the demo

Every product gets used by a real, busy person with actual work to do. My job is to get out of their way and make the thing just work, the first time and every time after.

we, not me.
details build trust.

Hand over the keys

When a build is done, it is yours: the code, the accounts, the ability to run and change it. No lock-in, no monthly hostage fee, no dependency on me to keep the lights on.

My story

Let's Talk

I'm most energized by projects where I can dig into complex problems, collaborate with smart people, and ship things that genuinely improve someone's day.
