Full-Stack Products Delivered 6× Faster
Founder & Full-Stack Product Builder | Helping founders and companies rapidly build revenue-generating web apps, iOS & Android apps, internal tools, and AI-enhanced platforms—delivering in 1 month what others build in 6.
My Philosophy
As a founder myself, I understand that successful products require more than just technical expertise. They demand a deep understanding of the full scope—the problems being solved, the use cases that matter, and most importantly, the customers who will use the product. This founder's perspective shapes every project I undertake.
My process begins with comprehensive discovery—sitting directly with founders and stakeholders to understand not just what they want to build, but why it matters and who it serves. I explore market dynamics, user personas, and business models before writing a single line of code. This foundation ensures we're building something truly valuable, not just technically sound.
From there, I craft every aspect of the project—designing intuitive UI/UX experiences, mapping data flows, modeling efficient database structures, and building application layers that communicate seamlessly. This comprehensive perspective allows me to optimize both technical performance and business outcomes.
What sets my approach apart is combining this founder's understanding with the ability to transform ideas into polished, market-ready products entirely independently, while leveraging frontier AI models to dramatically accelerate development speed—delivering in weeks what traditionally takes months.
