Projects
Keyfade
Keyfade simplifies the process of securely sharing passwords and sensitive data. By using end-to-end encryption, it ensures that only the intended recipients can view the shared content.
It's designed for simplicity and security, making password sharing easy for both individuals and teams. Whether you're working on a personal project or collaborating with a team, Keyfade takes the complexity out of sharing passwords securely by expiring links to the credential.
Printune
Printune was born out of countless frustrating experiences discovering inconsistent printer deployments via Intune.
Tired of imprecise configurations and the challenges of manual setups, I created a toolkit that makes deploying printers faster and more consistent for all levels of skill.
This streamlined interface and smart automation simplifies every step – from specifying printer details to organising deployment scripts.
