Richard Ziolkowski

I build apps, games, and systems-oriented tools with a strong bias toward clarity, usefulness, and good operator experience.

My work spans Apple platforms, the web, backend systems, DevOps tooling, and local AI workflows. The throughline is a terminal-shaped mental model: small composable steps, reliable loops, and a clear record of what happened.

I like building things that are practical, well-considered, and enjoyable to use. You can see the current work in projects and the longer-form thinking in notes.
