ls ~/projects From enterprise DevOps to personal app development, here's what I've been building.

Privacy-First App Development
My personal app development brand focused on building privacy-first applications. All apps are designed to keep user data on-device whenever possible.
I spend my day job doing secrets management at enterprise scale with IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault). That's why these apps keep your data on your device — it's the same judgment applied to my own software.
