"If a machine can do it, why would I?"

I build AI-powered tools that turn complex, boring work into one-click workflows. Professionally lazy. Genuinely effective.

ClipRadar
SaaS · Automation ClipRadar — clips that make themselves
01 — The Manifesto · professionally lazy

I automate the boring parts, so I don't repeat myself.

Here's the thing: most work is just the same steps, over and over. Finding the clip. Writing the caption. Posting it. Doing it again tomorrow. I got tired of that fast — so I taught machines to do it instead.

I'm a full-stack developer who fell for automation and AI. I started building websites at 14, got recruited into a software house at 17 straight out of high school, and spent three-plus years shipping real systems before going solo.

If it can be automatic, why do it by hand? If AI can do it — why me?

Now I build tools that run themselves: content that finds, clips, captions and posts itself; workflows with near-zero human touch. I'm not the flashiest coder in the room. I'm just allergic to doing the same thing twice.

Feature 01 — ClipRadar · the flagship

Clips that make themselves.

Point it at the channels you follow. A new video drops, the radar fires — and the clips (cut, captioned, hooked) are ready before you wake up.

ClipRadar is the clearest version of my whole philosophy. Register your YouTube channels and clipping campaigns; it watches for new uploads, finds the moments worth clipping, cuts them, and writes the caption and hook — automatically, even while you sleep.

I built it because doing all that by hand is expensive twice: once in time, once in the clips you miss. Now it's a live product I sell and grow on TikTok — a machine that markets itself while I build the next one.

Feature 02 — Smiley Deep Cleaning · client work

Shipped for a real business.

Not every project is a lab experiment. Smiley is a premium villa & property cleaning service in Bali — with real customers who need to trust what they see. My sister's business; my code.

So it had to be clean, fast, and legit: landing page, gallery, an invoicing system, SEO, the works. Proof that I can ship something a client — and their clients — actually rely on, not just something that looks cool in a demo.

Field Notes — experience · the long version

Where I learned to ship.

Three-plus years in a software house taught me how real systems get built — messy, at scale, with people depending on them. I was the youngest on the team, which mostly meant I had to learn fast and prove it.

Most of that went into an education-management platform for campuses in France — enrollment, exams, grading, finance. The unglamorous backbone software that just has to work. On the side I ran a GTA V roleplay server as owner and dev: basically live-ops game dev with players who complain the second something breaks. Good training.

I break things for fun.

When I'm not automating, I'm seeing how far a browser can go — WebGL, scroll-driven film, real-time 3D. My playground, and where I sharpen the craft.

Honest version: I'm strongest on the web + automation side, and I learn whatever a project actually needs. I'd rather be resourceful than pretend I know everything.

Let's automate something.

Open for freelance & collabs. Got a boring, repetitive process eating your time? That's my favorite kind of problem.
