The Indie Journey

One Developer. One Obsession.

Solo Developer & History Geek

It started with one frustration while traveling: watching thousands of people photograph magnificent ruins, check their selfie angle, and walk away. They captured the pixels — but missed the soul.

So I built Vestigia. Solo. One developer, 7 languages, 30+ achievement badges, and an AI that can identify landmarks across 50+ countries. No VC funding, no team of 20 — just an obsession with making history feel like a game.

The result? An app where scanning a building earns you XP, every city becomes a quest board, and your travels turn into a personal museum.

From Nomad to Legend — your rank tells your story.
