Hello,
I'm Kev.
Engineering manager and hands-on developer: Head of Infrastructure & Cloud leading a 22-person team, founder of two companies, building across mobile, the web and the cloud. I turn rough ideas into products people actually use. When the laptop closes, I'm a husband and dad of two, easily my proudest build.
Things I've built
From the blog
Relaunching neitola.dev: the old site read like a first draft
After shipping Riffle and Toolia, I rebuilt neitola.dev from a one-page blog into a real site: typed content, a self-generating CV PDF, self-hosted on my own box.
Relaunching Toolia
A full rebuild, a terminal-style new look, and ten tools that still never touch a server.
Riffle: an Apple Smart Stack for the inside of your app
Why I built a SwiftUI package that turns scattered in-app prompts into one deterministic, priority-driven card slot.
Share one Mac's audio with two pairs of AirPods
macOS plays to one output at a time. MultiPods Audio sends it to two or more Bluetooth headphones at once, each with its own volume, and installs no drivers.
How to cut back on caffeine without the withdrawal headache
Cutting caffeine too fast is what triggers the headache. Here is the tapering method that avoids it, and StopCoffee, the app I built to run it.
Why white noise calms a crying baby, and the app I built for 3am
White noise works on babies because it sounds like the womb. Here is why it settles a crying newborn, and Dozy, the app I built for 3am.
The to-do list I actually finish has one item on it
Long to-do lists become anxiety, not action. Here is the case for one task a day, and That One Thing, the app I built to make myself do it.
Release of Toolia
Finally, a truly free online toolbox. Meet Toolia!
Launch of neitola.dev
That's one big leap for me, a tiny step for mankind.
