I build tools
that remove friction
from everyday
dev work

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

A screenshot of the 'Copy URL with Title' Chrome extension. Three formats, each has it's own shortcut: Rich Text, Plain Text, Markdown.

Copy URL with Title

I share dozens of links with teammates every day in Slack, Notion, everywhere. Plain URLs always bothered me, they look messy and say nothing. I wanted real links: readable and clickable.

So I built "Copy URL and Title", a Chrome extension that copies the page title and link in one keyboard shortcut.

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.

and developer workflows
