drop a line

Freelance, consulting, source-code commissions. I reply within a business day — unless the espresso has worn off, in which case give it two.

What I say yes to

Specific beats vague.

The more concrete the ask, the faster the reply. A two-line brief with a desired outcome is the gold standard.

Source commissions
Custom builds based on the marketplace stack. Fixed scope, fixed price, full source delivered.
Acquisition inquiries
Buying one of the live products outright, or the IP + domain. Two live, several for sale.
Consulting calls
Agentic AI in production, SaaS architecture, scaling small teams without chaos.
Mentorship
One founder at a time. Prefer people shipping to real users, not planning an eventual launch.

What I'm pushing

full profile ↗
frequently asked
What do you respond to?

Anything specific. Freelance projects with a defined outcome, consulting calls, acquisition inquiries on the marketplace catalog, or a pointed question about a product I've shipped. If the email starts with "let's jump on a quick call," I won't.

Are the marketplace products really battle-tested?

Every SKU has either been deployed in production or shipped to a paying customer. I can share screenshots and a call on request. No vaporware in the catalog.

Do you consult?

Yes — SaaS architecture, agentic AI in production, and taking a v0 prototype to something that survives real users. Rates start at $250/hour, with project retainers available for longer engagements.

How fast do you reply?

Within a business day unless I'm deep in a shipping sprint. If it's urgent, put 'URGENT' in the subject and I'll triage it first.
