Photo not relevant to this section, but does a great job filling the negative space on the right.

So anyway, I'm also a software engineer. I'm very good at coding. I mean, look at this website!

I've been writing React pretty much since it was invented and some lesser known things for a few years before that.
I worked at Vercel for 2 years (they invented Next.js) and have done many interesting things in general. You'll find some of them below.

I also do Swift for all the Apple things.

Things I do in my spare time:

█████

█████ is my in-progress photo editing app that I started working on after being infuriated by Lightroom for years and the rather barren competition landscape. It is to be the best photo editing app on the planet.

DailyWall

An app to discover new wallpapers every day.

Convertable

Currency converter and a calculator had a baby.

AIVatar

One of the first Stable Diffusion-based AI avatar generator apps. Second ever to be released for iOS, first ever to include on-device refinement and upscaling.

PreviewHunt

A tool me and @AndreyAzimov made to preview and prepare Product Hunt submissions back in the glorious days of Product Hunt.

WebComp

A library for building Web Components using Preact.
