ABOUT

I build and maintain small, reliable tools rather than big platforms — status pages, self-hosted services, and open utilities that other developers can actually use.

My GitHub is mostly infrastructure work: an Upptime-powered status page for monitoring uptime, and a directory of free services for open-source projects. I like things that are simple to run, easy to read, and don't need a dashboard to understand.

Off-schedule: North London forever. 🔴⚪
