DESCRIPTION

I build products end to end — design, backend, and the decision to ship. Most of my time right now goes into soritch, a desktop app I'm building from the ground up because the tools I wanted for managing my own portfolio didn't exist.

Before software, I spent time in journalism and photography. Different medium, same habit: pay close attention, then make something with what you noticed.

CURRENT BUILD — SORITCH

A desktop portfolio intelligence app for retail investors. Electron front end, Python backend, AI runs locally via Ollama — no data leaves the machine. Built from a simple premise: retail investors deserve institutional-grade signal without institutional overhead.

soritch.config.js

export const stack = {
  frontend: "electron",
  backend: "python",
  ai: "ollama", // runs local, nothing leaves the machine
  storage: "sqlite",
  dependencies: 0 // zero npm bloat, by design
};

$ join waitlist

PRINCIPLES

ship the smallest version that's actually true to the vision, then iterate in public
own the whole stack — you can't design a product you don't understand end to end
treat risk like an engineer: size it, bound it, never let one position define the portfolio
reversible decisions move fast, irreversible ones get slept on
