The Reality Check

Look, this is my personal portfolio site. I'm not running a massive platform or selling products. These terms exist to protect both of us legally, but the spirit is simple:

  • Be respectful
  • Don't break things
  • Don't steal my stuff
  • Use common sense

If you do those things, we'll get along just fine.

All Good? Let's Connect
