I build experiments to find out what’s actually true. Apps are simply the most interesting way I’ve found to test ideas against reality. I’m drawn to feedback loops, elegant incentives, and problems that become more interesting the longer you stare at them. I don’t optimize for being right, I optimize for becoming less wrong.

  1. Should I Quit My Job

    Should I Quit My Job? runs 1,000 Monte Carlo simulations over a 5-year horizon to answer the question everyone Googles at 2am: will I actually be better off if I quit? Enter your current salary, target salary, expected search length, and savings runway. The tool varies search length and landing salary across a realistic range (searches usually run long), compounds raises on both paths, and reports the break-even month, the odds you're ahead at year 1, 3, and 5, and the best and worst 10% of outcomes. It also flags the case most calculators miss: your search outlasting your savings.
