The Obsessive Builder

I've been building things more or less non-stop since 2012: automated trading stores, a social platform for travelers, and after falling into blockchain, 256ART, a fully on-chain art platform I first built because, as an artist, I needed it to exist. Some things worked out, some didn't. All of them taught me something I took into the next one.

These days most of my time goes to Boosterpack, an AI website builder that gets small businesses a proper website without the usual hassle and cost. There's no grand philosophy behind it. I like making things people actually use, and I like making them well.

Haveyoubeenhere

Built on the Hive blockchain

A travel social network on the Hive blockchain: pin photos and waypoints to a map, share your trips, earn crypto for documenting them. Launched weeks before Covid shut down global travel, which taught me more about timing than any success could.

Pinmapple

7 years of travel pins

An interactive world map for travel bloggers, tightly integrated with the Hive ecosystem: pin your posts to the places they happened. Ran for seven years before winding down in 2024, with the code open-sourced to the community.

PoxPoints

Over a decade of automated trades

An automated trade store for the card game PoxNora: players traded in-game runes at prices that adjusted to supply and demand in real time. Ran on and off for over a decade before being open-sourced in 2023 so the community could take over.
