Side Projects
Small software experiments, prototypes, and tools I use to learn by building.
This is where I keep the small things I build outside of work.
For now, the only project that belongs here is the one that is actually published and being used by real people.
Dot Primer
Status: Published
Shape: Chrome extension
Why it exists: Sometimes the hardest part of deep work is crossing the threshold.
Dot Primer is a tiny focus ritual for getting from scattered to ready. It is intentionally small, privacy-conscious, and free enough to act as a public calling card.

What I am learning from it
- Whether a very small tool can earn repeat use.
- How strangers discover and evaluate a focused browser extension.
- How to keep a product calm, useful, and lightweight.
- Where a free product can create trust without forcing monetization too early.
