tidyup
A local-first file organizer that classifies by content, proposes a better structure, and keeps every operation reviewable and reversible.
Evan Rovelli
I’m a computer engineer by training and a software engineer by trade, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At Fidelity I work on batch platforms and billing systems. On my own time I build local-first tools in Rust, mostly things I wanted to exist and couldn’t find.
Selected projects
All projectsMedicaid Dental Atlas
An interactive map that turns roughly 60 GB of federal dental claims into a compact, explorable view of access and utilization.
Outdegree
A privacy-first browser extension that renders navigation history as an interactive graph of sessions, hubs, and attention.
Interests
All interestsLocal-first software
Tools feel different when ownership, privacy, and offline use are properties of the architecture rather than promises in a policy.
Systems that explain themselves
I’m drawn to software whose boundaries, failure modes, and tradeoffs remain visible to the people who build and use it.
Rust
A language that makes resource ownership and system boundaries explicit, and rewards careful design.
