Designing Clean Code by Day, Working with Timber by Night
Hi, I’m a digital interface designer and full-stack software developer who loves wood. By day, I spend my time crafting clean, intuitive layouts and building lightweight web apps. But whenever I step away from the keyboard, you will almost certainly find me in the shop covered in sawdust.
There is an honest balance between writing software and woodworking. Pixels live behind glass and can be rewritten with a keystroke, but a piece of walnut or white oak has real grain, weight, and character that never lies. Once you make a cut, you have to stand by it.
Tired of Clunky Calculators and Pop-Up Ads
Like many woodworkers, I got tired of stopping right in the middle of a project to double-check math on my phone. Whether I was figuring out board footage at the lumberyard, calculating shelf deflection before building a bookcase, or trying to scale a shellac recipe, the tools available online were frustrating.
Most old woodworking calculators are slow, cluttered with intrusive popups, buried behind email signups, or locked inside app stores. Because building simple, fast digital utilities is what I do for a living, I decided to build a platform that gets out of your way and gives you reliable numbers immediately.
