I help founders and small businesses audit, fix, and improve backend systems, automations, and MVPs — so you can move faster with less confusion.
The problem
Most early-stage products don't fail from a lack of ideas — they stall in tangled code, half-finished integrations, and decisions nobody's qualified to make. Sound familiar?
Services
Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables — and if you need ongoing capacity, we can work on a retainer and embed directly into your team.
When a project needs more than a one-off fix, we embed with your team on an ongoing basis — joining your standups, your repo, and your roadmap. We don't just consult or hand back feedback: we pick up real work, ship production features end-to-end, and stay accountable for the results alongside your people.
I review your product, backend, workflow, or technical setup and give you a clear action plan: what's broken, what matters most, what to fix first, and what can wait.
Best for: Founders, small businesses, and nontechnical teams who need clarity before spending more money.
I help clean up, fix, and improve an existing MVP so it becomes more stable, usable, and launch-ready.
Best for: Founders with a half-built product, broken backend, messy integrations, or unclear next steps.
I build or fix backend workflows, API integrations, automations, dashboards, webhooks, auth flows, payments, and internal tools.
Best for: Businesses that want to save time, reduce manual work, or add technical capabilities quickly.
How it works
Share your product, workflow, bug, idea, or technical problem — however messy it feels.
I identify what matters most and what would create the fastest business value.
Use the audit yourself, or have me implement the solution end-to-end.
DIY Option
If you need structure before you need implementation, the Solo Founder Operating Kit gives you the starter templates, pricing tools, customer docs, and operating system I'd use to help a solo business get organized fast.
About
I'm a software engineer focused on backend systems, MVP development, automation, and technical clarity. I enjoy working with founders and small businesses who are trying to build something meaningful but need help turning scattered ideas or messy systems into something that works.
I've spent years across the stack — Node.js, Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, APIs, webhooks, cloud and serverless systems, automations, AI integrations, and the kind of technical product planning that keeps projects from quietly going sideways.
