Founder & developer

Find non-alcoholic drinks

I built ChillMaps to find bars, restaurants, and stores with non-alcoholic options. It covers NA beer, mocktails, wine, spirits, and THC drinks, with apps for iOS and Android.

Founded in 2023 as NA Beer Finder.

Product & development

Find a local repair shop

I built RepairSeeker to make local repair shops easier to find. Search for phone, tablet, computer, and console repairs or data recovery, then contact a shop directly.

Free to search, with no account required.

This is my day job. I’m the lead software engineer at Web Publisher PRO, where we build and maintain WordPress sites for publishers.

Our work includes custom themes and plugins, CMS migrations, performance, and hosting. WPP also runs Bot Shield, which filters unwanted traffic before it reaches a site’s servers.

About me

I stopped drinking at 25. I had trouble finding non-alcoholic beer when I went out, so I kept a list of places on my phone. That list became NA Beer Finder in 2023, and later ChillMaps.

In 2024, I sold my stuff and moved abroad. I work remotely, build my own projects, and travel.
