How I build

Most of what I build starts with something that bugs me. Crunchyroll lets you slow an episode down but never speed it up, so I built the controller. Freelancers chase late payments by hand and pay for invoicing software stuffed with features they never touch, so I built InvoiceNest: an invoice in under a minute, reminders that do the chasing, and money straight to their own Stripe. I wanted to know how risky a drive really was, so I built CrashMaps. If a problem gets in my way, it's probably in someone else's way too, so I build the fix for everyone.

The rest comes from looking hard at things that already exist. Warehouses, stores and hotel pricing taught me to spot the step that wastes everyone's time and the tool that almost works. Improving a process or product people already use is often worth more than inventing a new one.

I decide what gets built, how it should feel and when it's done. AI helps me ship faster, and the flagships have real tests behind them, because people trust them with their time, their money and their routes.

Handicap index 27.8

First tee, 6:40 am.

I've hit maybe eleven perfect shots in my life. Every one of them got me back out the next weekend. That's the whole operating system: chase the one good shot, then chase it again.

Good morning. Let's talk.

Revenue strategy, a product idea, or a round you'd like company for. I answer every message.
