Work & Projects


Bookaholic
A web application for digitising and organising highlights & quotes from physical books.
Turned a side project into a commercially available product. Went through the horrifyingly complex process of founding a company in Germany.

CamelValuation.com
A quick and fun (and absolutely totally serious) way to value companies: using camels.
Built with Replit Agent.


Sphereworld Chronicles
Building a world that exists outside of a main story.
Writing for the beauty of the prose as well as for the story.
My attempt to combine the fantastical worlds of the likes of Harry Potter and Eragon with the wit of Terry Pratchett's Discworld and the prose of Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
Trying to write the kind of book I would love to read.

Worldsmith Emporium
A web application for worldbuilders, gamemaster and authors, which speeds up the creation of characters, locations and other things.
The application uses AI to generate these entities based upon short specifications by the user, while ensuring that the generated entities are consistent with the world they should exist in.

Trying to build a better humanity.
