Hi, I'm Matt.

I'm an indie developer and creator who misses the early web—when people made things because they were passionate, not because an algorithm told them to.

Founded in 2025, Birchtree Productions is my attempt to bring that spirit forward. Every app is built with care, every piece of content is made for humans, and nothing here is optimized for engagement metrics.

In a world racing toward AI-generated everything, I'm betting on the handmade.
