i build things.

I’m Gorock, a builder and founder based in Sydney.

I build software, experiment with AI, and turn ideas into products. Some have paying customers. Some are open source. Others are experiments that taught me something worth knowing.

My background is in enterprise IT, but most of what I know about building products came from figuring things out myself.

I don’t always know how to do something when I start. I’ve just gotten comfortable with that.

My last year on the noon sun over Sydney — one dot a day, darker the more I shipped.

a few things i believe.

  1. i think the fastest way to learn something is to build it.

    Not another tutorial. Not another course. Start building, get stuck, figure it out, and keep going.

  2. i think being willing to figure things out is more valuable than knowing everything.

    I’ve started projects I had no idea how to build. Some worked, some didn’t. But every time, I came out knowing something I didn’t before.

  3. i think AI is changing what it means to be a builder.

    Implementation is getting cheaper. Ideas are easier to test. What matters more now is understanding problems, knowing what to build, and having the judgment to make it useful.

  4. i think we’re still very early.

    I don’t know exactly what the world looks like in ten years. But I want to be close enough to the frontier to help shape what comes next.

A few things I’ve built, shipped, and put into the world.

  2. HeatLensSee what’s using your Mac, why, and what you can safely stop. A free, open-source menu-bar app that answers “why is my Mac running hot?” by tying every busy process to the project and tool behind it.macOS app · Shipped
  3. RevisitA home for everything you want to build with AI. A native Mac app for capturing ideas, prompts, links, and context, so they don’t get lost between projects and coding sessions.macOS app · Shipped
  4. Don’t Make It UglyGood design shouldn’t be the hardest part of building. A curated directory of design references for builders who can ship software but want to make it look better.Web directory · Live
  5. KlypstClipboard history, built for iPhone. A private clipboard manager exploring what useful, lightweight tools can look like on iOS.iOS app · Project

All work, in detail

open source.

I build a lot of tools to solve my own problems. Some turn out useful enough to share.

writing.

I spend a lot of time thinking about where technology is taking us, what intelligence actually is, and what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

I don’t have answers to most of these questions. I write to figure out what I think.

  1. We Are Building an Extension of Our Own IntelligenceOne neuron isn’t intelligent, and no one person can make a pencil. Maybe AI isn’t something separate from us at all, but the next part of a network of minds that has been growing for as long as we have. · 7 min read
  2. The Future Creates the PresentWe say today creates tomorrow. But the tomorrow you imagine is what decides what you do today — a strange loop, and a reason to choose your future carefully. · 11 min read

now.

I’m building products, experimenting with AI agents, and learning as much as I can about the technology that’s changing how we work and live.

Outside my own projects, I work with enterprise systems and bring builders together through developer workshops in Sydney.

Long term, I want to build something that matters. Something people genuinely need, that can grow beyond just me.

I’m not there yet. But that’s what I’m working towards.

let’s build something.

I’m always interested in meeting ambitious people, especially those working on difficult problems, early-stage products, and new applications of AI.

I don’t need to have solved a problem before to be interested in taking it on.
