Our Story
Engineer by trade. Father by calling.
I'm Victor Crispin — a software engineer, husband, and father of three boys who got tired of building technology that doesn't matter. So I started building what does.
“I wanted to be an intentional father, not a distracted engineer. So I combined the two things I love most: parenting and building things.”
How It Started
Early last year, I found myself navigating a struggle most working parents know well: trying to balance a demanding career in software engineering with my deep desire to be fully present for my three boys. I didn't want to be the dad who was always “half-doing” his job while “half-parenting.”
One night I was building a side project after the boys went to bed, and it hit me — what if I aimed all of this engineering energy at the things that actually matter? Not another SaaS dashboard. Not another analytics tool. Something my own family could use tomorrow morning.
I started using AI to rapidly prototype small, custom apps — a Scripture memory system for our family devotions, a timer that helped me be more intentional during one-on-one time with each boy, a prayer wall that let us track what God was doing in our lives together. Each tool was simple, purposeful, and built in days rather than months.
It didn't just save me time. It transformed how I showed up as a dad. The tools weren't distractions — they were bridges between my craft and my calling.
Why Fam Kit Is Free
When I started sharing these tools with friends at church and other dads online, something unexpected happened — they actually used them. Not once, but daily. Families started sending me ideas for new tools. Dads who had never coded before asked if they could build their own.
That's when Fam Kit became more than a personal project. It became a platform.
I believe the best technology is built from conviction, not just capability. Every tool in Fam Kit is free because families shouldn't have to pay to be intentional. Your data stays on your device by default — no ads, no tracking, no extraction. If you want cross-device sync, that optional paid tier keeps the lights on. But the core mission is, and always will be, free.
My vision goes beyond handing you tools. I want to empower parents to create their own. That's why alongside the apps, I provide a free DIY guide so anyone can learn to use AI to build custom software for their own household.
Built on Four Pillars
Every app in Fam Kit falls under one of four life pillars — because intentional living isn't one-dimensional.
Faith
Scripture memory, family prayer walls, devotional prompts, and worship tools that help your household stay rooted.
Parenting
Micro lesson builders, intentional dad timers, kindness trackers, and tools that help you show up for your kids.
Growth
Habit gardens, idea vaults, journaling tools, and planners designed to help you become who you're meant to be.
Fun
Retro games, brain puzzles, creative studios, and experiences that remind you joy is part of the mission.
What I Believe
Technology should restore, not extract.
The best tools are built from conviction, not just capability.
Fatherhood and engineering aren't separate — one fuels the other.
Building in public means sharing the mess, not just the wins.
The best businesses are measured by who they serve, not just what they earn.
Every family deserves tools built with purpose, not profit motives.
“Not a portfolio. A mission.”
