Hi, I’m Daniel Zhang, an independent developer focused on building useful, simple, and privacy-first software.
I enjoy turning ideas into practical products ā from browser extensions and developer utilities to infrastructure and developer tooling.
What I Build
My current focus is on:
- š§© Browser extensions
- š ļø Developer tools
- š¤ AI-assisted development
- š§ Linux and cloud infrastructure
- š Modern web development
- š Privacy-first software
I prefer building small, focused products that solve real problems rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
Independent Development
I build and maintain my products independently, from development and design to deployment, documentation, and distribution.
My goal is simple:
Build useful software, ship it, learn from users, and keep improving.
Current Projects
Some of my current projects include:
- Unix Timestamp Converter & Epoch Pro ā a fast Unix timestamp conversion tool for developers.
- IndieResizer ā a privacy-first batch image resizer and icon generator.
- PulseTimer ā a minimalist countdown timer and alarm for focused work and everyday reminders.
You can explore all of my current products on the Products page.
Technology
I work primarily with technologies such as:
- Go
- TypeScript
- JavaScript
- Python
- Linux
- Docker
- Git
- Hugo
- Cloud infrastructure
I’m particularly interested in developer productivity, automation, AI-assisted development, and building reliable software with simple architectures.
Open Source
I also publish projects and development work on GitHub.
