Independent developer. Building Hailsi.
I build tools that fix problems I run into — usually at the intersection of language, performance, and software that's supposed to "just work" but doesn't.
Mostly self-taught. Comfortable in Python and PowerShell, learning more as needed. Day-job background in QuickBooks consulting; building toward independent income through software products.
Real-time voice translation overlay. Speak your language; they hear theirs.
A desktop app that captures audio (mic or system loopback), translates in real time, and overlays the result on whatever app you're in. Started as a personal Finnish ↔ English tool, growing into a multi-language productized version with a free tier and managed-API paid tiers. Privacy-first by default — no audio leaves the machine unless you want it to, regardless of which plan you're on.
