Compound over linear.
Every system we ship should make the next one faster to build. Patterns earn their keep. One-offs carry their own cost.
A one-person studio engineering systems for operators — starting with Finora (personal finance, without the feed) and Sepora (cost segregation, built for the teams doing the work).

Personal finance, without the feed.
Monarch-class budgeting and expense tracking, rebuilt for people who'd rather read a chart than a doom-loop. Categorization that doesn't need a login to Plaid's support desk.
Cost segregation at spreadsheet speed.
A platform for cost-seg firms to run studies faster — depreciation schedules, engineering estimates, reclassifications, and client deliverables in one system instead of nine.
Classified.
Nothing to announce. If you're working on something adjacent to finance tooling and you're curious, we'd like to hear from you.
Interfaces you can actually read at 2am. Strong type, honest density, no dark-pattern sludge.
Primitives you won't outgrow in twelve months. We build for the version of the business you haven't met yet.
Schemas that survive contact with the real world. Bookkeeping, audit trails, and time-travel where it earns its weight.
Frontend work that behaves like engineering. Measurable performance, real keyboard support, accessible by default.
Talking cleanly to the messy stuff — banks, payment rails, tax engines, legacy ERPs, spreadsheets that won't die.
Ship often. Roll back faster. Observability that pages a human before a customer notices.
Every system we ship should make the next one faster to build. Patterns earn their keep. One-offs carry their own cost.
One person, for now. The studio would rather ship fewer surfaces than run a committee. Size is a feature until it isn't.
We use the tools we actually understand. Fewer dependencies. Fewer apologies. If it's in the stack, someone here can rebuild it.
The inbox is read by the studio, not a rotation. If you're reaching out about Finora or Sepora, mention which — it helps us route. We reply within two business days.
