I build tools
that remove friction
from everyday
dev work

From faster link sharing →
to terminal theme that doesn't freeze

Bureau – ZSH prompt theme

Built after joining a ~20GB repo where `git status` made every prompt painfully slow. I wanted an async minimal ZSH setup with git status that stays fast no matter the repo size. No more oh-my-zsh hell.

Hugo Shortcodes

While writing with Hugo, I found lots of themes but almost no reusable shortcodes for embedding external tools. I started building my own to make content richer and easier to compose.

EU Blue Card Planner

I went through relocation to Germany myself and struggled to understand the timelines for permanent residency and citizenship. I built a planner to make the process clearer and more predictable.

Bookmarklets

A published version of the small browser scripts I kept reusing daily for annoying problems like video speed, RSS links, and hidden controls.
