Where this fits.
- 01Solo founders shipping the first version of a SaaS or marketplace
- 02Seed-stage teams replacing a brittle prototype with a real V1

[ Stack ]
The tools I bring.
01
React 19 + TypeScript
Strict types, Server Components when on Next.js, a design system from day one.
02
Next.js or Vite
Next.js for SEO-critical or full-stack. Vite for pure SPAs and embedded experiences.
03
Tailwind + shadcn/ui
Move fast without UI debt — composable primitives, dark mode, accessibility baked in.
04
React Query + Zustand
Server state and client state kept clearly separate.
05
PostHog + GitHub Actions
Analytics, feature flags, and CI that runs on every push. Production-ready from week one.

[ Common questions ]
Before you ask.
How long does an MVP usually take?+
Four to eight weeks for a focused MVP — meaning one core flow done well, not ten flows done thinly. The first week is design / architecture, then I ship weekly with you in the loop on Loom or async chat.
Do you work with non-technical founders?+
Often. I translate product ideas into wireframes, then into a tight spec we both agree on before any code. I run async standups, weekly demos, and I'll flag scope-creep risks before they happen.
What's your stance on no-code/low-code for startups?+
Use it where it speeds you up — landing pages, simple CRUD, admin tools. Don't use it where it locks you in — core product logic, anything you'll iterate on. I'll be honest about which side of that line your idea sits on.
Can you hand off to an in-house team later?+
Yes — that's the goal. I write the README, the architecture decision records, the deployment playbook, and I run two pairing sessions with the new lead before stepping out. Your codebase shouldn't need me forever.
