Howdy, I'm Aydrian. I run a one-person studio in New York for the work I most want to do.

That work falls into four buckets: technical consulting for teams that need software built well, helping people travel well (especially in Japan), looking after pets in my Manhattan neighborhood, and building small, careful software that I think the world should have.

These aren't side hustles — they're the actual jobs. Every booking, walk, and download routes through this LLC. If any of them sound useful, please get in touch.

Right now
  • Planning a honeymoon in Japan.
  • Walking Atticus and friends in Upper Manhattan.
  • Shipping Tiny Maintenance v1.3 — backup, history, and export.
What I do

Four crafts. One person.

All run through ItsAydrian LLC. Pick whichever fits — they're equally serious.

Plan a trip you'll actually remember.

I'm an independent Fora-certified advisor specializing in Japan, solo trips, and itineraries that don't feel like a package deal. Hotel perks, restaurant access, and a real plan for the day you wake up jet-lagged.

Toys, treats, supplements, and walking gear we actually use, with reviews enthusiastically dictated by Atticus himself. As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases — none of which Atticus understands.
