About

I've loved building things for 20 years. I spent much of that designing and building trading systems for investment banks high-stakes, performance-critical software where reliability wasn't optional. These days I'm doing what I enjoy most: building Mac and iOS productivity apps, trying to change how people work. DeskArcade is one of them tiny games that live over your real desktop. I ship, I listen, and I build the things I want to use.

So I'm genuinely asking: what would you want on that layer?

A few directions I've been mulling:
