Builder & product lead

I've spent over 15 years building in tech, and more recently moved into vibe coding, where discovering the right tools, repos, and products can make or break how fast you move.

The problem is, finding high-quality projects from up-and-coming builders isn't easy.

The best repos and products often gain traction quietly before they ever break through.

I built GitScan to change that.

It's a real-time view of what's gaining momentum, across both open source and emerging products, designed to help builders discover what's worth using earlier.

The goal is simple: make GitScan a daily destination for anyone building, launching, or exploring what's next.
