A weekly email about building time, location, and financial freedom as a software developer — in real time, while I’m still figuring it out.

What You'll Get
Once a week, you’ll receive a short, thoughtful email that's drawn directly from my life as a freelance developer and creator:
- Honest updates from my freelance work, side projects, and life as a digital nomad
- How I’m thinking through real project, career, and business decisions
- Current struggles, trade-offs, and doubts, and how I’m trying to work through them
- Behind-the-scenes context from experiments, wins, mistakes, and things that didn't go as planned
Who It's For
Freedom Fridays is for software engineers who:
- Want to escape pointless meetings
- Are sick of begging for time off
- Want to have control over their time and location
- Want to build their own products and services
- Are curious to follow along as I build my freedom-first career
If you want to optimize your life and career for autonomy and freedom, and want to learn alongside someone doing the same, you’ll feel at home here.
Why I’m Writing This
I've come to believe that the traditional 40-hour work week — working for a boss who decides what you do, when you do it, and where you have to be — is an outdated relic of the industrial era.
For as long as I can remember, I've valued freedom and autonomy more than a paycheck. Not because money doesn’t matter (I'm still working hard to become rich), but because having control over my time and energy feels like the most natural way to live and work. Over time, I realized that the classic 9–5 setup simply doesn’t align very well with that.
My goal is to encourage other developers to take ownership of their careers and build a life that actually excites them. One where Mondays aren't something to dread, but something you look forward to because you're finally getting to work on your thing again.
Freedom Fridays is where I share what that journey looks like for me, as I’m still very much in the middle of it.
If that resonates with you, you're very welcome to join :)
