Tools that work when nothing else does. Your keys safe on a chip when your phone is compromised. Your messages getting through when there is no signal. Your identity yours when the platform disappears.

Security and identity
NFC smartcard that stores seed phrases, passwords, and secrets on an EAL6+ secure element. PIN-locked. Offline. Fits in your wallet.
FIDO2 security key on a tap. Passwordless login and 2FA for Google, GitHub, Microsoft, and every WebAuthn service. A fraction of the price of a YubiKey.
Your nsec lives on a secure element. Tap to sign events. The private key never leaves the chip. Schnorr signing happens on-card, not on your device.
NIP-46 bunker signer for iOS and Android. Sign Nostr events from any client without ever exposing your private key.
Air-gapped Bitcoin signing device. Camera-based QR workflow, fully assembled. Ships with two HushChip backup cards.
Communication and engineering
BLE mesh messaging for construction sites with no WiFi and no signal. Text and voice. Works in basements, tunnels, and high-rises. Zero infrastructure.
BLE relay hardware in IP65-rated enclosures. Extends SiteTalkie mesh coverage across entire construction sites.

I started building tools because the ones I needed did not exist. As an MEP engineer, I spent too much time on repetitive calculations that should have been automated. That frustration became MEP Desk — 61 engineering calculators built for building services professionals.
The same instinct led to NFC security hardware. Most people store their seed phrases on paper, stamped metal, or open QR codes — all visible to anyone who finds them. A secure element on a smartcard keeps secrets encrypted, PIN-locked, and in your wallet. That became HushChip.
SiteTalkie came from watching construction workers lose communication in basements and high-rises with no signal. BLE mesh radio solves it without infrastructure. SiteNode takes it further — outdoor mesh nodes in IP65 enclosures extending the network across any site.
Signstr is a NIP-46 remote signer for Nostr — sign events from any client without ever exposing your private key.
Everything follows the same principle: do not trust infrastructure you do not control.
