Cory
Indie builder · Cloudflare-native · studio-of-one
I'm Cory. I build small, well-scoped software and ship it under cortech.online. Most of what I make is one person's worth of work: a DNS tool, an email-auth utility, a QR-code service, a stager for apartment photos. Some of it pays; most of it doesn't. That's fine — the point is that it exists.
"Studio of one" is the honest label. No co-founder, no roadmap meetings, no quarterly planning. I pick a problem I actually have, build the smallest thing that solves it, and put it online. If it's useful to someone else, even better.
The stack is Cloudflare — Pages, Workers, D1, KV, R2. Not because it's trendy, but because one person can run a real product on it without paging themselves at 3 AM. Edge-by-default removes a whole class of infra decisions I'd rather not be making.
CortechOS, the desktop metaphor you're looking at, is a joke that kept going. A portfolio site should reflect the shape of the work. Mine is a pile of small windows that each do one thing. So: here's a pile of small windows.
