I built this for fun, and to contribute something useful to fellow keepers. Here’s how it all started:

Timeline

  • 2019: Discovered a passion for exotic arthropods and basic code.
  • 2020: Stepped away from the hobby to explore engineering and trade work.
  • 2024: Started the Xethrapod project with a close friend, forming a prototype.
  • 2025: Went public with the site and co-founded CEC to build out tools for keepers.

Aspiring centipede breeder, software engineer, and nature guy. None of this would exist without my friends and family. Especially my loving girlfriend, and my talented buddy over at west peninsula shouldworks!
