Shut down · 2026Five things I built,and what each one cost me.
Work across web, mobile, AI and systems software. One reached a quarter million people, one won its NASA Space Apps local round and a Global Nomination, one I shut down myself. Five hackathon wins in total.
Every page says what was technically hard, what I decided and why. Screenshots tell you somebody shipped something. The decisions are the part worth reading. Freelance by referral only.
In developmentWhat I am building now
Scri8e
Company search across Slack, Notion and Drive that respects permissions. Per-document ACLs, not one index everyone can query.
- Multi-connect architecture so the index enforces who is allowed to see each document.
- Ten customer discovery conversations before the first line of code.
- Twenty-eight test integration harness across the three connectors.
- Self-hosted Nango, because the managed pricing broke the unit economics.
Notion does not expose per-page ACLs through its API. I confirmed the gap, wrote it down, and scoped around it rather than shipping something that quietly leaked pages. Still being built, which is why there is no launch date on this page.

Hackathon builds
Five events, five wins. NASA Space Apps also returned a Global Nomination, top 947 teams of roughly 10,000 worldwide, which is a separate result from winning the local round.
