I'm figuring out how to build things that matter.
Not everything needs to be a billion-dollar startup. Sometimes the best solutions are simple tools that help people get things done and move on with their lives.
What I'm Building
Prime Video Enhancer
Chrome extension that removes clutter from Amazon Prime Video. No recommendations, no distractions—just the video you came to watch.
Project R2R
Anonymous platform for getting honest feedback on purchase decisions. Share your budget, get real advice from people who understand.
Project Saena
Social learning platform for kids. Play spelling games with friends. Actually educational, not just dressed up as education.
Project Smurf
Social network with intentional limits. Small groups, meaningful connections. Because 500+ "friends" is not actually friendship.
Project Nima
Platform connecting education, work, and wellbeing. The bigger picture that ties these individual tools together.
Questions I'm Wrestling With
I don't have this figured out. But asking better questions usually leads to better solutions.
About Building vs. Exploiting
- • How do we distinguish between genuine value and sophisticated manipulation?
- • What does it mean to help people accomplish their goals and then actually get out of the way?
- • How do we know if we're creating tools or creating dependency?
About Money as Freedom
- • How do you generate income from products without optimizing for psychological exploitation?
- • What happens when you constrain growth to maintain values?
- • Is it possible to build relationships that create mutual value without someone getting extracted from?
About Intentional Technology
- • What would technology look like if every feature was designed to reduce rather than increase dependency?
- • How do we measure progress when user retention might actually be a failure metric?
- • What incentive structures would lead to technology that genuinely serves human flourishing?
About Renaissance Thinking
- • How do you maintain curiosity across domains without becoming a dilettante who ships nothing?
- • What's the difference between authentic learning and expert cosplay?
- • How do we see the systems we're embedded in when those same systems shape our perception?
If you're wrestling with similar questions or want to explore any of these together, let's start a conversation.
What I'm Learning from Building
Building something people actually need creates its own momentum.
Curious About Something?
If you're building something that matters, wrestling with similar questions, or just want to think through complex problems together—I'd love to hear from you.
I'm more interested in discussing ideas than promoting what I'm building.
