About

I fix what annoys me twice.

I am an application development apprentice in Zurich. I started coding in 2023 with a Python course, and the first thing I shipped was a hand-written website about myself. This site replaces it.

Most of what I build starts because something annoyed me twice: a log I kept on paper, a formula sheet that did not exist, a recipe I could never find again. I like small tools, and I do not trust a project that needs a paragraph to explain itself.
