Prince Ayaata

I build fast native Windows tools, AI-powered apps and practical web tools.

I care about software that costs the user almost nothing to run, tells the truth about what it has been tested on, and is documented well enough that the next person can pick it up.

How I work

Small, measured and documented

  1. Measure the cost

    Wallive was built to a resource budget and benchmarked on real hardware: about 0.9% CPU while playing, 29 MB once paused.

    See the example

  2. Say what is tested

    Wallive lists what has been verified on real machines and what has not, so users and contributors know where the gaps are.

    See the example

  3. Leave a trail

    Decision records, progress logs and handoff notes live in the repository. I built Project Starter to set this up in every new project.

    See the example
