I’ve loved computers since they were just giant calculators
currently working on the
hardest part of my startup — the GitHub parser.

it efficiently reads a repo, extracts folders + markdown files, grabs frontmatter, and builds a clean tree structure from it.

recursive, tricky, but powerful.

building a way easier alternative to docusaurus and similar tools.
a revision of one of my discontinued projects, born from a pain point I’ve faced too many times.
no boilerplate, no setup — just markdown + github.

Throwback to when I was learning to code—I built a text-to-speech tool with the Web TTS API. Just React, no frameworks, and AI was still new.

Wonder how it’d turn out now with AI and a framework. Drop your throwback projects below! ⬇️

After 2 months, I'm launching my first startup—a GitHub-integrated doc generator. I hope it's useful for developers writing docs manually for codebases & APIs. Launching Feb 20, 2025. #buildInPublic

Not a designer, but I think this is coming together nicely! 🚀 Working on an AI-powered documentation tool—excited to see it take shape.

Spent 5 hours building a complex form validation system in React Native from scratch... only to discover that react-hook-form works perfectly with React Native. 😭 Lesson learned!

I'm building an AI product and struggling with pricing. Per-token fees and fluctuating costs make it hard to offer a simple, transparent pricing model while covering expenses. How have others tackled this challenge when pricing AI-powered products?

🚀 Working on the pricing page for RecipeDb! 🎉 I'm designing flexible plans to suit everyone—from casual users to businesses.

Excited to share the progress as I build this out! 💬 Stay tuned for more updates!

Your first lines of code might look messy, and that’s okay.
Every masterpiece starts as a rough draft. Just keep coding—future you will thank you!

Learning programming is like being dropped into a dark cave. Every bug you fix lights a torch… and reveals a bigger cave.

My relationship with AI is simple I pretend it’s not smarter than me, and it pretends my code makes sense.
