I ship products that make money.
10+ years turning ideas into revenue. Zero fluff. Just execution.
About
Your competitors are moving. You need someone who ships in weeks, not quarters. I've built 5+ products from scratch that now serve thousands of paying users.
I don't wait for permission. I make calls, write code, deploy infrastructure, and fix problems before they become bottlenecks. You get co-founder execution without giving up equity.
What I Do
0 to Revenue Fast
MVP to paying customers in weeks. React, Next.js, Node.js. I've done this 5+ times. I know what corners to cut and which ones kill you later.
Architecture That Scales
Build simple now, scale later. APIs that don't break. Databases that perform. Technical decisions that compound velocity, not debt.
Infrastructure That Doesn't Break
AWS, Docker, automated deploys. Your team ships multiple times daily without waiting on me. Infrastructure works or it doesn't exist.
Direct Technical Partnership
Work directly with you. Understand the business model. Make technical calls that serve revenue, not resume. No translation layer needed.
AI-Powered Velocity
Cursor, Claude, automation everywhere. While your competitors debate AI, I use it to ship 3x faster. Features in days, not sprints.
Impact
5+ products built from zero to thousands of paying users. Real revenue, not vanity metrics.
Shopify apps processing transactions for e-commerce businesses daily.
Cut deployment cycles from hours to minutes. Teams ship without asking permission.
Led engineering teams that delivered on time, every time. Zero missed deadlines.

Engineering Philosophy
Speed Wins
Perfect code in six months loses to good code today. Ship, learn, iterate. Over-engineering is just slow failure with better architecture.
Revenue Over Everything
Code that doesn't make money is a hobby. Every technical decision either moves the business forward or holds it back. Choose accordingly.
AI Is Your Unfair Advantage
Cursor and Claude turn one engineer into five. While others debate tools, I ship features in days that used to take weeks. That's the game now.
No Babysitting Required
Tell me the goal and get out of the way. I'll make the calls, write the code, and ship the product. Check in when it's done.
