Backend Developer with 4+ years of experience building web applications, chatbots, and APIs. My main stack is Laravel and PHP, backed by Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, and I'm currently exploring Rust. I care about efficient, scalable solutions and shipping open-source tools that people actually use.

Day to day I build with Laravel and PHP, alongside Python and JavaScript/TypeScript. I also create chatbots with the LINE Messaging API, and I'm currently picking up Rust.

TEDI

TEDI

My flagship: a lightweight desktop app that folds eight everyday dev tools (terminal, SSH/SFTP, a database browser, a code editor, an AI agent, an in-app browser, an API client, and Git) into one ~7 to 10 MB window built on Tauri 2. No telemetry, and this very site borrows its design system.

02 / Open Source · Web AppNew
PokeHub

PokeHub

Turns any public GitHub profile into a holographic Pokémon-style trading card. Nothing is picked by hand: followers become HP, stars become attack damage, public repositories set the retreat cost, and your top language chooses the element, while a language model writes the species name, the flavour text, and both attacks. Every card is also served as an SVG, GIF, or PNG you can drop straight into a README.

Writing & notes

Occasional posts about the things I build and debug.

Loop Engineering: /goal, /loop, and work that continues without you

The last step is not a better prompt, it is a system: something that discovers work, isolates it, makes a change, checks it, and leaves a trail you can audit. Two commands supply the missing halves, a finish line the agent cannot walk past and a heartbeat that brings it back, and a plain file supplies the memory that context resets keep destroying.

Parallel Without Chaos: worktrees and the maker/checker split

Running several agents at once fails for a boring reason: they share one working directory and overwrite each other. Git worktrees fix that with a feature that has existed since 2015, and once work is isolated, the second habit worth adopting is never letting the agent that wrote something be the one that approves it.

Conventions Are Advice. Hooks Are Guarantees.

A rule in a markdown file is followed most of the time, which is fine for a colleague and useless for a build step. Hooks are your own code running on the agent’s tool calls, which turns a convention into something that happens whether or not anyone remembered it.

The Repo Is the Prompt: rules that earn their place

Every session that starts with you explaining the build command is a session paying rent on knowledge that should already be in the repo. CLAUDE.md, memory and skills each hold a different kind of rule, and the reason a written rule still gets ignored is almost always that it is written in the wrong one.

Make the Agent Prove It: the check is the contract

An agent will describe its work more convincingly than it did it. The upgrade that changes everything about working with one is not a better prompt, it is ending every task in something that returns an exit code, including the visual changes you thought you had to eyeball.
