The decisions
When privacy, ethics, and making a living pull in different directions, I walk through the trade-off and what I picked.
The analog generation, building for the alpha generation.
I'm Max, a dad and a systems person. I build local-first, privacy-first tools for families, and I share the decisions behind them: what I chose, what I gave up, and why.

What you'll get
The builds
Apps and tools for families that keep your data on your own devices, from first sketch to launch.
The experiments
Everyday problems, like sorting screenshots or cataloguing a house, tackled with AI models that run on my own hardware.
Who's behind this
Two decades in enterprise systems, across aerospace, supply chain, and HR technology, taught me how complicated systems fail. I'm using that to build simpler ones for my own family, and for two sons who will grow up with all of it.
