Developer • Systems Architect • Local‑First Engineer
I'm ZFordDev. I design and build a growing ecosystem of local‑first tools — from desktop apps to CLI utilities and analytics systems. Rust and JavaScript power the stack; clarity and reliability shape the philosophy.
Everything I build follows a simple philosophy: local‑first, minimal, reliable, and designed to last.
Software should run on your machine, not someone else’s. Privacy, speed, and reliability start with keeping data local.
Small, focused components scale better than monoliths. I build tools that can be extended, swapped, or rebuilt without friction.
Rust, JS, and clean architecture — fast tools without unnecessary layers. Efficiency should feel natural, not engineered.
