About
A one-person studio building small, durable things.
Build few things, build them carefully, and keep them running for the long haul.
I run Tahonest. The first app — Sổ Nhà — I built for my own family first: one shared, transparent spending book so that by month's end nobody has to remember who covered what. Only once it genuinely helped did I open it up to other households.

What I’m working on
Right now I’m focused on Sổ Nhà — in closed testing on Google Play, with an iOS build in the works. See the Sổ Nhà page or the studio blog.
