Three jobs, one person.

What he builds

Most people who describe themselves three ways are describing one thing three times. These are genuinely different disciplines, and each row below ends in a link to something running — because a capability nobody can check is a claim, not a skill.

Web developer

Websites and web applications, from a WordPress build a client can edit themselves to a hand-written Astro site like this one. Eight live client projects sit on the studio's front page, in five countries — a German video studio, an Australian outdoor-living brand, a Karachi welfare trust, two e-commerce and education businesses. This site is the same hands: 24 free browser tools and a 21-post blog, all of it static, all of it loading without a framework.

Mobile app developer

React Native and Expo — one codebase that produces an Android build, an iOS build and a web build of the same app. Not a description of a capability: there is an APK on the studio's game host right now that installs on a phone and connects to a live server.

Game developer

Court Piece, the Double Siri variant, played by the house rules of one Karachi family: four players, two against two, live over WebSockets with bots to fill empty seats. The rules engine is written in TypeScript with no dependencies and runs on both sides of the wire; the server is a Cloudflare Worker with one Durable Object per room, and it deals the cards, validates every move and sends each player only their own hand.

Court Piece.

Live

A studio that builds software for other people should be able to point at something it built for itself. This is that. It is free, there is no account, and it is the house variant of a card game a Karachi family has been arguing about for years.

The game
Court Piece, Double Siri variant — four players, two against two, thirteen tricks a hand.
Where it runs
Any browser on a phone or a desktop, and an Android app you can install from the same host.
How it is built
Expo and React Native on the front, a Cloudflare Worker with one Durable Object per room on the back, and a dependency-free TypeScript rules engine shared by both.
Who can see your cards
Nobody. The server deals, checks every move and sends each player only their own hand — the bots included.

Verified profiles

The same five profiles the structured data on this page names, rendered from the same array — so what the page shows a reader and what it tells a search engine cannot drift apart. Each one links back here, which is the half that makes the pair mean anything.

Got something
to build?

A website, an app, or something stranger. Send the scope, the deadline and a budget range if you have one — you will get a fixed quote before anything starts, and the same person on the other end the whole way through.
