I build AI-powered web apps and WordPress
sites that are live, fast and ready for
real users.
Under my studio KE Forge I've shipped:
→ KE Forge Learn — AI learning platform
that teaches any topic from a PDF
→ KE Forge Med — Adaptive learning hub
for radiography students
→ KE Forge Control — Web dashboard for
ESP32 and microcontroller projects
Self-taught developer and electrical
engineer. I understand systems from
the circuit board to the browser.
Fast delivery. Clean work. No ghosting.
Starting at $200 — let's build something.

To the AI creatives:
I remember when AI became a sensation a few years ago. Everyone was amazed by the realistic quality and the infinite possibilities for creation. It was new, exciting, fun—but also intimidating.
Fast-forward to today. Even though its popularity has grown and the technology has improved significantly, I've realized that many people who are not experienced with these tools have developed certain expectations about them.
AI = Fast = High Quality = Cheap
No.
Yes, tools like Nano Banana, Kling, and Seedance can produce impressive results, but don't forget that behind those results is a person sitting at a computer, iterating over and over and over again until they find that "perfect" final image.
I've had bad experiences with clients who think that just because I'm using AI, I should charge less.
"You use AI. You can do it in 20 minutes. Why are you charging so much?"
Well, what about the credits? What about post-production in Photoshop and Lightroom when needed? What about the constant back-and-forth to match branding guidelines and client feedback?
Those minutes and hours count too—not just the speed of Higgsfield, Kling, or ComfyUI.
And what about our hardware? Our storage drives? Our electricity costs? Our subscriptions?
Know your value.
Just because you're using AI doesn't mean you're an emotionless robot working nonstop, generating endless iterations for cheap dollars.
Take your time. Trust your process. Don't fall for the "it's instant and effortless" narrative that many content creators promote—or that some clients expect.
Plan your work. Define your goals. Sometimes a single image can take hours to get right.
If a client thinks that because something is generated quickly it should automatically be cheap, the answer is still:
No.
Know your value. Have a detailed understanding of how much you spend on credits, software, hardware, post-production, and revisions.
Clients are paying for results, experience, taste, creative direction, problem-solving, and the countless hours you've invested in mastering these tools—not just for the seconds it takes an AI model to render an image.
Peace.
Love this!
New tool alert!
I built html.contact for devs, designers, and freelancers who need a contact form without setting up a backend.
Create an endpoint. Paste the form URL. Receive submissions.
That’s it.
No SMTP. No Zapier. No server. No DNS setup.
Works with plain HTML, Astro, Next.js, Webflow, Framer, Carrd, WordPress, Shopify, and any site that can send a normal HTML form.
The free tier includes attachments, exports, up to 10 verified recipients, unlimited forms, CC/BCC fields, and API access.
Why I built this:
Getting form submissions into an inbox has annoyed me since the early 2000s. Ideally it would not take a backend, DNS setup, or a bunch of glue just to make a contact form work.
With all the static sites, client sites, and AI-built sites being shipped right now, I wanted something simple I could use over and over again.
Would love feedback from anyone building websites for clients or shipping quick landing pages.
If you try it and actually use it, DM me what you’re building. I’ll upgrade the first few Contra folks to lifetime Pro on the house.

My mama used to make up bedtime stories
just for us. Not every child gets that.
So I built something that changes that.
Mama Told Me - you type your child's name,
their hometown, a family you love and a
value to teach them. We write the rest.
Built with @figma Make + Claude MCP
in one night for #ConfigMakeathon 🌙

The input design here is doing something clever. Name, hometown, a person they love, and a value to teach, those four fields are essentially the whole architecture of a meaningful story. Most AI story apps just give you a blank box.
