About Me.
I am a full-stack developer working in data operations. I build browser extensions, developer tools, and web experiments to solve everyday digital frustrations.
01 // PRINCIPLE
Privacy First
Tools run locally in your browser. No user tracking, no third-party telemetry, and no data sales.
02 // PRINCIPLE
Speed & Utility
Built with zero bloat. Every extension and tool focuses on doing one job reliably and quickly.
03 // PRINCIPLE
Open Source
Code is publicly shared on GitHub so anyone can inspect, verify, fork, or improve upon it.
What I Build
During the day, I work in data operations dealing with high-throughput data workflows. After hours, I create browser extensions and web tools. These include:
Highlight Ads Detector: An ad detector providing visual transparency into ad placement without breaking page layouts.
AI Watermark Remover: A client-side tool using Reverse Alpha Blending to restore pixels from Gemini, Imagen 3, and Veo media without server uploads.
YouTube Control Center: Advanced player controls to set default quality, force original audio, enable sticky player, and hide Shorts.
RedirectWise: An HTTP redirect chain and SEO header analyzer auditing 301, 302, JS, and HSTS chains with 18+ language support.
Screencrafter: A full-page screenshot capture and annotation extension for viewports, entire pages, or custom crops.
MyLinks Dashboard: A visual bookmark dashboard with automatic category sorting across 100+ categories.
Smartboard: A new tab workspace transforming the browser into an expansive creative whiteboard and notes canvas.- Working on something new: Currently in the lab prototyping a new privacy-focused developer utility and browser experiment.
