• Hi, I’m Joshua — a solo builder, father, and founder of RedBeard Technologies.

• I’ve spent the last year teaching myself how to build smart tools from salvage parts, scrap electronics, and pure determination. With no outside funding, I’ve created working prototypes like:

• A universal archive extraction tool (Grípa)

• ️ A stealth VPN + network monitor panel

• A GIMP toolkit for digital creators

• (Coming soon) A working assistant droid built from a vacuum robot

• I’m launching this GoFundMe to raise support so I can finish development, package my tools, and offer them as affordable software for the people who need it most — creators, privacy lovers, hackers, and learners.

• Your support helps me:

• Get better hardware for testing and deployment

• Pay for hosting and digital delivery tools

• Free up time from survival work so I can build this properly

• I’m doing this for my family. For my son. And for every builder out there who doesn’t have corporate backing — just a dream and two hands.

• If you can’t contribute, you can still help:

• Share this with someone who loves indie tech

• Follow my work (links below)

• Just send some encouragement
