Why Sturdy Software Matters?
I believe software should be strong—more than just functional, it must be resilient, structured, and built to last.
In bodybuilding, a well-trained body is more than aesthetics. Strength comes from discipline, well-built foundations, and the ability to handle stress.
The same applies to software. Sturdy software handles load, scales with growth, and remains reliable under pressure.
Most software I've seen is fragile. Fix one thing, break another. Bugs pop out of nowhere, tech debt piles up, and releases fail in production. But I build software differently.
Strength comes from design. A strong body is sculpted with purposeful training—software should be the same. With a clear engineering vision, we can move from an MVP to a solid, maintainable system without losing agility.
If you want your software to be sturdy, I'm the one to build it.
Why I Work in Tech
Technology makes a real impact
I've seen small businesses and solopreneurs thrive when they invest in the right software. It's fascinating.
It's the closest thing to magic
In my mind, applications are like potions, commands are spells. (And yes, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan.)
Tech should liberate, not overwhelm
I build tools that save time and reduce manual work—and avoid projects that exploit addictive algorithms.
