I build products that solve real problems – and actually make a difference.
Product builder, founder, and software engineer. I love turning ideas into products that people actually want to use – from first sketch to shipped code.
Vision & Mission
Why I build products – and what drives me
Vision
A world where software is built for the people who use it – not for vanity metrics or feature checklists. Products that solve real problems and make a real difference.
Mission
Traction follows action. I build products by listening first, shipping early, and iterating on real feedback. Customer-first by design. Small, fast, focused. Quality over quantity.
Values & Principles
How I think about building products
Outcome over Output
Success is measured by impact, not features shipped. Every line of code serves a real user need.
Problem Obsession
Fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Understanding the root cause comes before building anything.
Validated Learning
Opinions are hypotheses. Ship early, learn fast, and let real feedback guide the next step.
Radical Ownership
Own the product, own the outcome. Every decision matters – from the smallest detail to the biggest pivot.
Speed is Strategy
Move fast, learn faster. Rapid iteration beats theoretical perfection every time.
Pragmatic Quality
Simple beats complex. The best solution is the one that works – and keeps working.
The Four Pillars
My work rests on four pillars: Product, Technology, Business Model Design, and Innovation. I believe that truly impactful digital products only emerge when these areas interlock.
Product
Building products that users love – and that make sense for the business.
Product Strategy
Defining a clear path to win. Bridging user needs with business goals to create defensible value.
Lean Validation
De-risking ideas early. Using fake doors, prototypes, and interviews to validate demand before building.
Continuous Discovery
Staying close to the customer. Regular touchpoints to uncover 'Jobs to be Done' and hidden pains.
Product-Led Growth
Building growth into the product. Designing viral loops, referral systems, and frictionless onboarding.
Data-Driven Iteration
Measuring what matters. Using analytics to inform decisions, not just validate guesses.
Roadmap & Prioritization
Ruthless focus. Prioritizing features that drive specific outcomes over 'nice-to-haves'.
Technology
Engineering as an enabler for product. I ship fast, pragmatically, and robustly.
Rapid MVP Development
Speed as a feature. Shipping functional, testable products in weeks to start the learning loop.
Full-Stack Implementation
End-to-end execution. Building complete web solutions using modern stacks (Next.js, TypeScript, Node).
Pragmatic Architecture
Just enough structure. Systems that are robust enough to scale but simple enough to change fast.
Tech Stack Strategy
Choosing the right tools. Selecting ecosystems that maximize developer productivity, simplify staffing, and ensure long-term maintainability.
Scalable Foundations
Built for growth. Implementing solid auth, database, and security practices from Day 1.
AI Integration
Intelligent Experiences. Embedding AI to create adaptive, magical product interactions that solve problems in fundamentally new ways.
Business Model Development
Designing product, pricing, and go-to-market to reinforce each other.
Business Model Generation
Designing the engine. Mapping value creation, delivery, and capture using Lean Canvas principles.
Unit Economics
The math of growth. Calculating and optimizing CAC, LTV, and margins to ensure scalability.
Monetization Strategy
Revenue logic. Defining the right pricing models—SaaS, transactional, or hybrid—for the target market.
Go-to-Market Strategy
Launch planning. Identifying channels and tactics to get the product into the first users' hands.
Pricing & Packaging
Value capture. Structuring tiers and offers to maximize conversion and revenue potential.
Market Sizing & Segmentation
Focusing the attack. Identifying the beachhead market and calculating the TAM/SAM/SOM.
Innovation
Testing bold ideas leanly – and building the right ones into real ventures.
Zero-to-One Venture Building
From action to traction. Orchestrating the chaotic journey from idea to a viable business.
Lean Startup Methodology
Build-Measure-Learn. A scientific approach to creating businesses and reducing waste.
Opportunity Assessment
Vetting ideas. Systematically evaluating market timing, feasibility, and potential.
Hypothesis-Driven Experimentation
Testing assumptions. Designing experiments to validate critical risks (Desirability, Viability, Feasibility).
Investor Narrative
Capital Strategy. Translating vision and metrics into a compelling investment thesis that resonates with investors and secures funding.
Agile Innovation
Moving fast. Applying agile principles not just to code, but to business development and strategy.
