Friends call me Robot. I like equations and code. Been making a living online since 2005 - through the good times and the bad. Ruby on Rails devotee, unironic DHH fan, currently obsessed with LLMs and making machines do the boring stuff.
When I'm not writing code I'm lifting weights. Bodybuilding keeps me disciplined - the same consistency that ships software builds a physique. Grew up watching Arnold and Dorian Yates. Still do.
British motors only. Range Rover Sport when things are going well, Mini Cooper S when the situation is tight.
The past 18 months I spent building fbm from scratch - a full-time-and-a-half job with no pay. From an idea that seemed novel at the time all the way to an operational product. Tested on minimal traffic from low-cost geos - 50 paying subscribers, people genuinely like the product and willingly spend money on it.
While fbm needs funding, botbase.uk needs a salesperson, and gg is a niche product with no competitors on the market. At times I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. Ready for what's next.
