🌱 What I'm Building

✏️ LeedPDF – PDF annotation without compromise

Turn any PDF into an infinite drawing canvas

License: AGPL-3.0 Commercial License Free for Personal Use on Web GitHub Stars Downloads WCAG AAA Compliant

SvelteKit TypeScript PDF.js Brave Search API Tailwind CSS Tauri Vite CodeRabbit Vercel

  • The Problem: PDF annotation tools force you to upload sensitive documents to someone else's servers.
  • The Solution: Browser-based annotation with pen-like precision. Zero uploads, total privacy.
  • Impact: 3,000+ monthly active users across 175+ countries, 1,500+ desktop app downloads, 300+ GitHub stars.
  • Tech: SvelteKit, Tauri (Rust), Canvas API, client-side processing, privacy-by-design

📧 DoublOne – Email that feels like 2025

Privacy-first email client with chat-style UX

  • The Problem: Email UX hasn't evolved since the 90s. Users spend 2.5 hours daily drowning in cluttered inboxes.
  • The Solution: Transforms messy email threads into clean, chat-like conversations with sub-50ms performance and zero-knowledge encryption.
  • Impact: 40% faster email triage vs traditional clients, growing user base across multiple countries.
  • Tech: Flutter, Supabase, PostgreSQL, IMAP/OAuth 2.0, end-to-end encryption

📊 Cristalyse – Flutter data visualization

Grammar of graphics for Flutter

pub package pub points likes Platform Flutter support Dart support License: MIT

  • The Gap: Flutter lacked a comprehensive, performant data visualization library.
  • The Solution: 60fps GPU-accelerated rendering with intuitive grammar of graphics API.
  • Adoption: 1,000+ monthly downloads with growing community adoption.
  • Tech: Flutter, CustomPainter, GPU optimization, mathematical transformations

🌸 PinkRain – On-device ML for health predictions

Privacy-first health journaling with AI

  • The Problem: Health apps send sensitive data to remote servers. Users want predictions, not privacy violations.
  • The Solution: On-device TensorFlow Lite inference, synthetic data training, HIPAA-compliant by design.
  • Impact: 99% micro-F1 accuracy, <5ms inference time. Users stick around because predictions actually help.
  • Tech: Flutter, TensorFlow Lite, Bi-LSTM networks, synthetic data generation

🔖 Golden Day – Visual bookmarking without the chaos

Capture anything with a single keystroke

  • The Problem: Bookmarks pile up in folders you'll never revisit. Organizing feels like work.
  • The Solution: Visual bookmarking with rich metadata extraction, offline-first storage, keyboard-driven workflows.
  • Impact: Offline-first, privacy-focused architecture with local-first storage and visual masonry layout.
  • Tech: SvelteKit, Chrome Extension API, client-side processing, metadata extraction

🎬 Glucose – Video player that gets out of your way

Ultra-lightweight with on-device AI subtitle generation

  • The Problem: Video players are bloated with features you don't need. Subtitles require uploading to servers.
  • The Solution: Zero UI experience with keyboard-first controls, on-device AI subtitle generation.
  • Impact: Ultra-lightweight desktop app with native performance and cinematic viewing modes.
  • Tech: Rust, Tauri, Svelte, on-device AI processing

🧠 CaraML – Multi-LLM interface done right

AI assistant with shared memory across models

  • The Problem: Using AI effectively means switching between models for different tasks, losing context each time.
  • The Solution: Unified interface with context preservation, smart model routing, seamless switching.
  • Impact: 350% faster AI workflows, 94% context retention across model switches.
  • Tech: React, LLM APIs, context management algorithms, real-time state sync

🚦 Tuesdae Rush – Traffic simulation game

Control the chaos, prevent the crashes

Tuesdae Rush Gameplay

👆 Click to play the live game 👆

  • The Concept: You control traffic lights in increasingly complex intersections. Toggle signals, manage flow, prevent accidents.
  • The Challenge: Real-time traffic simulation with collision detection, optimized for smooth 60fps gameplay.
  • Tech: Flutter, custom physics engine, state management, game logic optimization

💻 Tech Stack & What Makes Me Different

Languages I Ship With

Dart/FlutterTypeScriptPythonRustJavaScript

I've been writing Dart for 5+ years and have shipped production apps with millions of interactions. Python and TypeScript are my go-to for rapid prototyping and backend work. Rust is newer but I've shipped two real products with Tauri.

How I Build Products

Frontend: Flutter (mobile), SvelteKit (web), React, Astro, Chrome Extensions
Backend: Node.js, Python (Flask/FastAPI), Supabase, PostgreSQL
Desktop: Tauri (Rust), cross-platform native apps
Systems: Canvas API, WebGL, custom rendering engines

Privacy & Performance Engineering

This is what sets my work apart. I don't just build features, I build products people can trust:

  • Zero-knowledge encryption and end-to-end security
  • On-device ML inference with TensorFlow Lite (no data ever leaves the device)
  • Sub-50ms response times through aggressive optimization
  • Privacy-first architecture from day one, not bolted on later
  • Offline-first design so your data stays yours

Data & ML

Machine Learning: TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, on-device inference, synthetic data generation
Data Analytics: Statistical analysis, predictive modeling, A/B testing, user behavior analysis
Business Intelligence: Market analysis (15%+ product launch success improvement), data-driven decisions

My CS degree specialized in Data Analytics, and I apply it to actual product decisions, not just dashboards.

What I'm Known For

  • Building products that respect user privacy while delivering ML-powered features
  • Performance optimization (60fps on mobile, <50ms server response)
  • Cross-platform development (one codebase, native feel everywhere)
  • Shipping fast without breaking things

📊 GitHub Activity

Recent Focus Areas:

  • 🎯 Privacy-first architecture patterns
  • 🧠 AI/ML model optimization for edge devices
  • 🎨 Interactive 3D web experiences
  • 📱 Cross-platform mobile development

💡 Philosophy & Approach

"The products I build come from personal frustration. If I'm annoyed by something, chances are thousands of other people are too."

My approach:

  • Privacy isn't negotiable: Your data belongs to you, not on someone's server
  • Speed creates trust: When software responds instantly, people actually enjoy using it
  • Simple beats clever: The best solution is the one people understand immediately
  • Done beats perfect: Real feedback from real users beats endless internal debates

How I build:

  • I write code that's easy to understand and maintain, because six months from now, I'll be that confused person trying to figure out what I was thinking
  • I believe in thorough testing at every stage. Shipping fast doesn't mean shipping recklessly
  • Good documentation isn't extra work, it's how you help future contributors (including yourself) hit the ground running
  • Accessibility isn't a feature you add later. If it's hard to use for someone, it's not done yet

🤝 Let's Build Something Amazing

I'm always interested in connecting with fellow builders, especially around:

  • Privacy-first product development
  • AI/ML applications that actually help people
  • Cross-platform mobile development
  • Product engineering and user experience
