# About — Heliostat

> Built by a developer, for developers.

Heliostat is made by [Sean Reed](https://github.com/streed) at [Reedster LLC](https://reedster.llc). One person, shipping the tool they wanted to exist.

## Why "Heliostat"?

A heliostat is a mirror that tracks the sun and steers its light onto a fixed receiver. The sun never stops moving — the mirror just keeps doing the math so the energy always lands where it should.

That's the job of this app. Interruptions happen. Estimates drift. Life shows up. Heliostat is the mirror: it keeps re-aiming your attention at what you committed to building, so you can keep shipping even when the conditions around you are moving.

> Stay focused on building — not on keeping track of the building.

## About Sean

Full-stack developer and AI engineer — most comfortable in Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and a Postgres console. Builds small, opinionated products that solve problems he's actually hit.

Uses Shape Up at work, but it doesn't really extend to solo projects — there's no team to pitch to, no betting table, no cooldown you can actually take. Heliostat brings a Shape-Up-shaped experience into personal projects.

Off the keyboard: skis uphill, climbs on rock, logs trail miles. Available for freelance work and interesting collaborations.
