//Selected work

Two things I built end-to-end.

Native desktop tools where the front-end craft and the systems work both mattered.

SOQL Studio

soql-studio: Desktop · Salesforce data loader

A cross-platform Salesforce Data Loader with bulk CSV uploads, an object browser, and auto column mapping that persists across sessions, all with zero Java to install.

// the problem
Salesforce's official Data Loader needs Java and only runs comfortably on Windows. Admins on macOS and Linux were stuck wrestling the JVM just to push a CSV, and remapping columns every single run.

// what it does

Bulk CSV import/export, no Java required
Auto column mapping that persists across sessions
Object browser with quick access to field formulas
Remembered logins, one-click sandbox or production

// impact

0 Java required

Productivity Tracker

productivity-tracker: Desktop · Productivity tracking

A non-intrusive productivity tracker that surfaces focus and activity trends without screenshots or invasive monitoring. Rebuilt from Electron to Tauri for a lighter, native footprint.

// the problem
Most time-tracking tools are surveillance ware, all screenshots, invasive monitoring, and constant nagging. People wanted insight into their own work patterns without feeling watched.

// what it does

Activity trends without screenshots or invasive monitoring
Private by default, data stays on the device
Quiet background tracking, no nagging popups
90% smaller install after the Tauri port
