Born in a Driveway. Built for Everyone.

Founder & Solo Developer — Truman-dev
I went to school for welding. I never planned to write a single line of code. But then one afternoon I was under the hood of my truck, spending hours chasing down a vacuum leak — YouTube video after YouTube video, forum post after forum post, guessing which hose was the problem. I remember thinking:
That question became an obsession. I taught myself TypeScript, React Native, Python, and eventually Cython and C for native performance. I built DipCheck from my apartment, nights and weekends, while working full-time. What started as "an app that scans a hose" turned into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
Today, DipCheck doesn't just identify parts — it gives you a full AI diagnosis with severity ratings, step-by-step DIY repair guides, live parts price comparison, an AI mechanic you can talk to, and a digital garage for every vehicle you own. I went from welding school to building a product that rivals the tech coming out of Google and Microsoft — and this is just the beginning.
Software development isn't just a pivot — it's my passion through and through. Every line of code in DipCheck is written to make sure nobody has to sit in a driveway, confused and alone, ever again.
