Product Engineering.
Side Projects.
A little chaos.
I'm Russell, a full-stack engineer. I build things for the web, make tools when I want them, and run events when I can. I've also done weird things, like making a microwave serve cocktails.
Mail, repos, agents & interfaces.
Go make a scene.6+ years in software engineering.
Frontend, backend, and the systems that connect them.
Enough.
Explore EnoughTools.comEnough is a family of open-source tools I’m building to solve business problems. I’m starting with the ones I run into regularly myself: managing code, coordinating development, and running email for my own domains.
Each product works independently. EnoughRepos makes repositories easy to find, and EnoughMail runs email in your own Cloudflare account. EnoughUI gives Mail, Factory, and this website a shared interface foundation. EnoughFactory explored coordinating coding agents as a public prototype; I’m no longer working on it.

Mixer Mayhem · TerribleHack 2023 Engineer by trade.
Maker by default.
I like starting with a good problem and seeing how far I can take it. Sometimes that ends in software. Sometimes it’s a card game, a robotic bartender, or a wonderfully terrible hackathon.
