I’m a one-man shop in northern Portugal. I build small software tools, write two blogs, run three YouTube channels, and teach people how to build directory sites that make money. This page is the short version of everything, kept current.
What I actually do all day
I build a portfolio of hyper-niche directory sites
Small, boring, specific directories that most people would scroll past. Together they earn several thousand a month from affiliate commissions and local listings. No ads, no clients, no team.
I put together a free guide showing how to pick a niche and get your first one live.
Software
Small, focused tools. I build them because I needed them first.
SEOMedic
A WordPress plugin that audits your site’s SEO and tells you what to fix, in plain language.
DealTrackr
Brand deal tracking for creators. Every pitch, deliverable, and payment in one place instead of buried in your inbox.
GetBadgered
Invoice chasing for freelancers, on autopilot. It sends the awkward follow-up email so you don’t have to.

VidCommenter
Find the right YouTube videos in your niche and leave comments that actually get you noticed.
