MacroDream is where I build software the way modern teams actually work — open at the core, honest about what's commercial, and priced for value actually delivered.
Bloated platforms. Opaque pricing. Vendors who treat on-premise like a second-class deployment.
I started MacroDream to do it differently. The mission isn't tied to any single category. Wherever incumbents have grown complacent, extractive, or hostile to the way modern teams actually work, there's room to build something better.
The first projects set the tone — a Kanban platform built for the audit trails of customer-facing work, and a project portfolio platform built for the regulated, air-gapped environments the legacy P3M vendors quietly abandoned.
More is coming across infrastructure, delivery, and the connective tissue in between.
Apache 2.0 community tier with full feature parity for the core workflow — genuinely useful, not a nag-screen funnel.
Pricing pages with prices on them. The paid tier is for things teams actually pay for — SSO, audit, support — not artificial gatekeeping.
Air-gapped, regulated, sovereign. Where the incumbents quietly retreated, I treat as the primary deployment, not the exception.
Usage-based where it makes sense. Per-seat where it makes sense. Never a $40-a-seat tax to access the feature you already had.
Swimlanes, real-time collaboration, dwell-time analytics, and a full audit trail of every card movement. The first MacroDream project to ship — and the source of the governance system now used across the portfolio.
Built for support, success & ops teams running customer-facing workDirect aim at the legacy P3M incumbents. Usage-based pricing, AI-native workflows, and first-class support for the regulated, air-gapped environments those vendors quietly abandoned. Apache 2.0 community tier with the full CPM engine, Monte Carlo simulation, mobile offline, and real-time collaboration.

CI pipeline scaffolding, git hooks, changelog workflow, Claude Code agents and commands, and MR conventions — without opinionating on your programming language or framework.

I've spent a career inside enterprise software — shipping products, navigating acquisitions, watching the cycle of incumbent capture repeat itself. MacroDream is the studio where I build the alternatives, on my own terms.
Open-source by default. Audit trail as feature, not afterthought. Pricing pages with prices on them. And a quiet bet that small inputs and deliberate focus can still produce outsized outcomes.
Partnership, pilot deployments, regulated-environment requirements, or simply a thesis worth comparing notes on — the inbox is open.
