I built something for our communities.

Back in January, I was laid off from my full-stack dev job. Instead of rushing into the next thing, I took it as an opportunity to create something I’ve never built before—a mobile app.

It’s called SwapMatch.

The idea is simple: A peer-to-peer, decentralized, free way for people to connect, offer or request goods and services, and trade using Bitcoin.

No complexity. No gatekeepers. Just people helping people—directly.

I also went through the process of trademarking the name (had no idea how at first, but learned along the way).

This is for anyone who wants to build stronger local connections and start using Bitcoin in real, everyday exchanges.

If it resonates, I’d love for you to check it out:

This is just the beginning—but it starts with connection.
