Item Specific Help
For over twenty years I have specialised in building user-centric interfaces, for fast-paced startups and for large-scale financial institutions. I architect front-end systems and component libraries, and I care most about the people who have to build on top of them. I currently own every user-facing surface at GYRO, an independent music distributor. Outside that I design and ship my own products: numbered resin model kits, a developer tool, and a native Mac audio client.

Numbered, finite resin garage kits. Operators vote concepts into production, reserve numbered blocks from a live drop, and post their finished builds. I designed the product, built the platform, and run it.
Click an element in a running web app to file a change request, and an agent opens a verified draft pull request against the exact source line. Open-source SDK and editor plugin, paid cloud service on top.
A native Mac client for self-hosted music. The signal path is bit-perfect where it can be, and the interface says so. The moment volume, EQ or sample rate breaks that, the seal downgrades itself rather than keep the claim.
A desk companion that dances in time to whatever you are actually playing, using onset detection over system audio. Godot and Rust, with the DSP written by hand rather than pulled from a library.
An approach to building genuinely reusable React primitives by lifting the theme layer out of a component's internals. Build the component once, skin it per project.
