Products
& Experiments

These are products I've created outside of work. I believe that the best products are created at the intersection of various disciplines, and creating these full-stack lets me learn & stay fresh.

Along with learning, with each of them my motivation is a combination of wanting to solve a problem, create something beautiful and make money.
