pronounced eye-ree

Welcome to my little corner of GitHub.

I recently finished my degree in software engineering and cyber security. Now I use it out in the open, making software that helps people feel safer, healthier, and more in control.

Whether it's privacy tools, wellbeing apps, or future projects still taking shape, I love building things that genuinely help people.

Creating software with care, because technology should help people.

Iri's Ideals
useful • honest • protective • human

I build because I care.
I improve because I listen.
I create because software can be art.

I didn't become a developer just to make money, chase trends, or build things for the sake of building them. I became a developer because I like being useful.

I enjoy solving problems, whether that means fixing a bug, helping someone with an issue, or finding a better way to do something. There is something incredibly rewarding about taking a problem that feels stuck and finally making it work.

I also love learning. I never want to stop growing, improving, and discovering better ways to create things. To me, software is a form of art: taking an idea from your head and turning it into something real that people can actually use.

A lot of modern software frustrates me. Too much of it feels soulless, corporate, and built around profit instead of people. Apps are designed to keep users scrolling, tracking is everywhere, adverts follow people around, and trust is often treated like something to exploit.

I never want to become the kind of developer who fills everything with ads, microtransactions, subscriptions, and manipulative design just to squeeze money out of people. Software should help users, not use them.

I want my software to be easy enough for almost anyone to understand, but still genuinely effective. If something claims to protect people, it should actually protect them. All the trust in the world is useless if the software doesn't do its job.

That's why privacy, safety, and protection matter so much to me. I hate scammers, malware, tracking, and anything that takes advantage of people online. If I could magically make hacking, scams, phishing, and malware stop working forever, I would.

Part of me also enjoys sticking it to the companies that treat people like products. Building software that puts users first feels like pushing back in my own small way.

I don't expect everyone to love everything I build. If someone stops using one of my projects, I'd rather understand why than be blindly praised. Constructive feedback helps me improve, and improvement matters more to me than ego.

One day, I hope to become the kind of developer people can learn from, respect, and trust. Not because I'm perfect, but because I care about doing things properly.

At the end of the day, if someone visits my profile, uses one of my projects, and thinks: "She really cares about people." then I've achieved what I set out to do.

The projects currently occupying my mind.

One is finished and out in the world, the other is still taking shape. Both come from the same place: software should look after the person using it.

One protects people from things they never asked for. The other reminds them to look after themselves. Different problems, same instinct.

They're built the same way, too. Slowly, in the open, and released when I'm happy with them rather than when they're technically finished.

Building WardenOne
Designing Hydra Heart
Learning more C#
Drinking slightly too much caffeine ☕

_{and probably telling myself "just one more feature" again...}

WardenOne began from a simple belief: people deserve to feel safer on the internet.

Built around privacy, protection, and user control, WardenOne is my attempt to make the internet feel safer without overwhelming people.

The web can be dangerous, confusing, and full of things designed to track, trick, or take advantage of users. WardenOne brings together the protections I wish browsers had by default.

From tracker blocking and redirect protection to download safety and privacy-focused tools, every feature exists for one reason: helping people stay safer and more in control online.

In practice that means ad and tracker blocking, anti-fingerprinting, phishing and scam detection, protection for your passwords and card details, download scanning, and IP-leak protection. Over 80 of them, and every single one can be switched off if you disagree with it.

It all runs on your own device. No account, no telemetry, nothing phoning home. I don't want your data, and the simplest way to prove that is to never collect any.

Still being built — coming soon. 💜

Hydra Heart began from a simple belief: taking care of yourself should be easier.

Focused on hydration, wellbeing, and healthy habits, Hydra Heart encourages people through gentle reminders instead of guilt or pressure.

A lot of people forget to drink enough water, even though it is one of the simplest ways to take better care of yourself. Hydra Heart is built to make that habit feel easier, softer, and more consistent.

In practice that means reminders you can shape around your own day, a simple way to keep track without it becoming another chore, and a nudge that stays kind when life gets in the way.

There are no streaks to lose and nothing to feel guilty about if you miss a day. I would rather build something you are glad to see than something that pressures you into opening it.

I believe healthy habits should be accessible to everyone. Looking after yourself should not require a subscription, which is why Hydra Heart is built to stay simple, helpful, and free.

life outside the code

I think the things we love
quietly shape the things
we create.

There is more to life than code,
and I think that's what makes
creating things meaningful.

Purple. I genuinely think purple can make almost anything look better.

Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and Steins;Gate. I love worlds that feel alive and stories that stay with you long after you've finished them.

I love flowers, nature, and peaceful scenery. There's something calming about them that I don't think technology can replace.

Almost everything. Except screamo. We're not doing that.

Art, design, guitar, cooking, and making things feel personal. I like creating things in more ways than just writing code.

I've always loved space, stars, gemstones, and things that feel a little magical.

Skincare, haircare, and small routines that make life feel softer and more put together.

I'd love to learn another language one day — and for once, I don't mean a programming language.

The tools I use to turn ideas into something real.

Every project starts with something small: an idea, a problem to solve, or something I wish existed.

I don't care about chasing every trend. I care about learning the tools that help me build things properly, improve over time, and create software that feels useful.

C# is where a lot of my bigger ideas begin, especially when I want to build something that feels like a real application.

Java is where a lot of the fundamentals clicked for me. It makes you say exactly what you mean, which is irritating right up until the moment it saves you.

JavaScript, HTML, and CSS help me build for the browser, which makes them especially important for projects like WardenOne.

TypeScript is the same thing with the guard rails on. Once something grows past a few files, I'd rather my editor catch the mistake than my users.

Python is perfect for experiments, quick tools, testing ideas, and getting something working fast.

Rust pushes me to think more carefully about safety, structure, and performance.

C is the one that shows you what every other language has been doing for you. Nothing is hidden, which is equal parts useful and unnerving.

C++ is powerful, interesting, and sometimes extremely annoying — but I respect it.

Security isn't in the list above, because it isn't a language. It's the other half of my degree, and it follows me into every language that is.

What it really changed is the question I ask about my own work. You stop asking only whether something works, and start asking what happens when someone tries to misuse it.

	VS Code most of the writing		Git every change, kept
	Visual Studio the bigger C# builds		GitHub where it all ends up

Most of my time is spent building, testing, breaking things by accident, fixing them again, and slowly turning ideas into real projects.

The languages will change. The tools will change. The goal stays the same: build things that genuinely help people.

tools, languages, and little experiments

I like learning tools that help me
build cleaner, safer, and more useful
software.

Some are for big projects.
Some are for quick ideas.
Some are just because
I wanted to understand them.
