We ride thepixel grid

A one-person studio building sharp developer tools and small, honest games. Everything starts on a grid — a spreadsheet cell, a sprite, a sprint board.

Tools that earn their keep

Software built to solve a problem I actually had. No dashboards for the sake of dashboards.

Jira issues, SLA and alerts — in your browser toolbar

Live2026

A Chrome extension that puts your Jira issues in the toolbar: a live count badge from your own JQL, up to ten configurable lists with real sorting and paging, SLA pills with the time left, and desktop notifications when something actually needs you. Works with Jira Cloud and Data Center, read-only, five languages. No backend of ours, no proxy, no telemetry — it talks to your Jira instance and nothing else.

Unannounced mobile game · H2 2026

In developmentH2 2026

A mobile game in production, not ready to be named yet. Retro at heart, built for short sessions and one hand. Premiere planned for the second half of 2026 — the devlog opens closer to the date.

About

One rider, two lanes

By day I build tooling that makes engineering teams less miserable — metrics that mean something, integrations that do not break, interfaces you do not have to learn twice.

By night I make games. The kind that fit on a cartridge in spirit if not in bytes: pixel art, chiptune, one clear idea per game, playable in five minutes.

Pixels Riders is where both lanes meet. Same craft, same obsession with the smallest unit on the screen.

How I work

  1. 01

    Ship small, ship often

    A tool nobody uses is a hobby. I release the smallest useful version and let real usage decide what comes next.

  2. 02

    Your data stays yours

    No backend of mine in the middle, no analytics, no telemetry. If a tool can work entirely on your device, it should.

  3. 03

    Fast by default

    Static where possible, cached where not. If a page needs a spinner to say hello, something went wrong upstream.
