About

Industrious One is a one-person software development shop located just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. My name is Jess Perkins, and I am that one person.

I do not use LLMs. Nor “AI”. Nor anything “agentic”. I am perfectly happy to die on this hill. It’s a nice hill.

I have done this for a number of companies/domains/years. I had a few music apps in the App Stores. I’m largely to blame for Premake though I no longer participate.

In mid-2026 I decided to stop taking new clients and focus on making for myself again. This ugly-ass website you’re looking at is the first step in reclaiming that birthright.

Here is what I’m working on now.

Open source code is on Codeberg. If you expect me to respect your copyrights, you will have respected mine.

There is not an @industrious microblog at this point, but it’s on my list. My personal stream of pithy comments and shitposts is on the Fediverse.

I can be reached at contact@industriousone.com, but do mind the spam filter.
