Software with
a view from the top.
Globy Peaks is an indie studio building deliberate, modern software — products you can feel the craft in.
About
One maker. Few projects.
All of them care.
Globy Peaks is the umbrella for the things I build — mostly apps, occasionally tools, always shipped with the kind of restraint that respects the person on the other end of the screen.
-
01
Restraint over flash
If a feature doesn't earn its keep, it doesn't ship.
-
02
Native where it matters
Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, real platform feel — not a thin wrapper.
-
03
Made for use, not demo
Designed for the hand on the bike, the couch in the dark.
Selected work
Two projects.
Built without compromise.
The problem
The Android TV media-player landscape is dominated by apps that either look like 2014 or were written for phones first and squeezed onto a 10-foot UI as an afterthought. Stremio's addon ecosystem is rich, but the official clients leave a lot of polish on the table.
The approach
Build a first-class TV client from scratch in Jetpack Compose with TV Material3 — proper focus handling, hero rows, and a playback layer using ExoPlayer/Media3. NuvioTV doesn't host content; it's a clean, fast playback interface on top of user-installed addons.
What I'm proud of
The focus model. D-pad navigation that feels considered, never "good enough." A codebase that's approachable — Hilt for DI, Retrofit for networking, a structure that invites contribution rather than hiding behind framework abstractions.
The problem
Motorcycle navigation apps optimise for the wrong thing — fastest route, biggest highways, smallest text. Riders want the road less travelled, and they want to know why the road is worth riding.
The approach
A custom routing layer that biases toward scenic backroads, paired with a story engine that triggers short, narrated pieces about the places you pass — history, geology, local lore. Built glove-friendly, loud enough through a helmet, fully usable offline.
What I'm proud of
Making the app disappear. The interface gets out of the way so the ride and the story stay in front. Big targets, high contrast, a HUD that reads at a glance — designed in motion, not at a desk.
