Builder, founder, citizen of the universe. Currently on a year-long commit challenge.

The Commit Challenge

From my birthday on March 21, 2026 to March 21, 2027, I'm pushing myself to hit 10,000 commits in one year — 25 per day, 200 per week, and 800 per month. The secret weapon? Claude Code and other AI productivity tools to maximize output across multiple projects simultaneously. For context, a GitClear study of 878,000 developer-years found the median full-time developer ships about 673 commits per year. This page tracks my progress in near-real time.

10,000 commits. 365 days. AI-augmented.

The tools have changed. Have you?

AI development tools have fundamentally changed what a single developer can ship. The 10K Commit Challenge is a public commitment to lean into this new reality — master the tools, build real projects, and track your progress in public.

About

Builder

I love building software — everything from games to e-commerce, digital products, and trading systems.

Philosophy

Lifelong learner, building in public. I believe in shipping fast, iterating often, and letting curiosity lead the way.
