The 11b Dev Origin Story

From Infantry to code infantry. I'm an ex-military guy who got tired of seeing bad software everywhere and decided to do something about it (with surprisingly good results).

How I Got Here

After trading combat boots for code editors, I quickly realized the tech world had a serious problem: everyone was building "revolutionary" apps with so many bells and whistles it made the simple things more complicated.

So I took a different approach. Instead of chasing unicorns and disrupting breakfast (seriously, why is everything about disruption?), I build tools that solve real problems for people I actually understand.

The name "11B" comes from the Infantry military occupational specialty. It means I get stuff done, I don't quit when things get hard, and I actually test my gear before shipping it.

My Values

🎯

Build Things That Work

I try to focus on software that solves real problems, not just looks good in screenshots.

🤝

Keep It Simple

I'd rather solve actual problems than add features nobody asked for.

🛡️

Stick Around

I do my best to maintain and support what I build, even after launch day.

🌱

Take My Time

I try to make good decisions instead of rushing to meet arbitrary deadlines.

What I Actually Do

🪖

Desktop, Mobile & SaaS

I build products that actually work and accomplish the mission. No fancy features that nobody asked for—just software that gets the job done and RTBs (returns to base) every time.

🔌

APIs (When Required)

When APIs are needed, I try to document them properly. Sometimes our robot overlords (AI) help with the tedious paperwork—because even in code, nobody likes filling out forms.

🧪

Experimental Vibe Coding

Sometimes you gotta go off-script and improvise. Call it R&D, call it tomfoolery—either way, it's where the interesting stuff happens. No permission slips required.
