A solo studio crafting games, tools, and software that entertain, empower, and solve real problems. I build, learn, and document it all in public.
I published a studio note today: Cybernetks: 2026.
It outlines the direction I’m setting for my solo studio. What “self-sustaining” really means to me, how I’m building in public, and why I’m optimizing for longevity over speed.
No hype. Just clarity.

I’ve reintroduced a warm-up into my routine: a small code kata before work. Not for mastery. Not for improvement. Just to clear the noise and begin with intention.
Most of the battle is in the beginning.

Experimenting with the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused while building Cybernetks. Small, deliberate cycles of deep work are outperforming long, unfocused hours. Focus is a system, not a mood.

Progress isn’t always about speed.
Sometimes it’s about direction.
Between client work, family, and the house, I’ve learned to keep momentum by following a Developer Roadmap — a simple guide that makes slow weeks still meaningful.

Theme: Risk it for the biscuit.
I’m building a mining platformer where you risk gems on dangerous paths but can bank them at checkpoints.

I paired with a more experienced React dev this week—and took the driver seat.
It was intimidating at first, but typing through the fear helped me learn more than any tutorial ever has.

The Power of Pair Programming
Pair programming can feel intimidating—especially when you’re not the expert. But stepping into the driver’s seat taught me more about React (and myself) than any tutorial ever could.

I used to wait until I had the perfect time block to learn or build something.
But “no time” turned into “no progress.”
