A founder spent $45k on an app that didn't work. After 6 months, they had nothing but messy code and a $30k bill to fix it.
12 weeks later, we launched their app from scratch.
The most expensive part of development isn't the build—it’s the rebuild. Avoid the "experiment on your dime" traps by looking for:
Fixed Scope: Know exactly what you’re paying for.
Scalable Architecture: Build for 10k users, not 10.
Total Documentation: Don’t get locked into one dev.
If you’ve been burned, let's change the outcome this time.
📩 DM me your story. I’ll diagnose the failure and let you know if I can fix it.

Most dashboards fail before they are even built.
Not because of bad charts.
Not because of wrong formulas.
Because the data underneath is structurally broken.
Here’s what I see often in small businesses:
• Dates stored as text
• Multiple columns for the same metric
• Inconsistent naming (Revenue / Sales / Total Sales)
• Manual copy-paste every week
• No clear data flow
Then they ask:
“Why doesn’t this dashboard update properly?”
A dashboard is just a mirror.
If the data structure is messy, the reflection will be distorted.
Before I build any report, I focus on 3 things:
Standardized column logic
Single source of truth
Repeatable data flow (no manual dependency)
Clean structure → Reliable metrics → Better decisions.
If your reporting feels fragile, the issue usually isn’t Excel.
It’s the foundation.
Completely agree. Dashboards amplify whatever foundation they sit on — messy data → misleading clarity. Standardization and single source of truth are massively underrated.
Save $2k on Legal Costs with This Landing Page
My client had a game-changing AI tool for contracts, but no landing page to sell it. I built one from scratch, focusing on:
✅ Instant clarity (hero section explains the product in 3 seconds)
✅ Trust-building visuals (AI-powered contract simplification demo)
✅ Frictionless pricing (transparent plans with a bold CTA)Result? $5K+ in monthly revenue within the first 30 days.Need a high-converting landing page for your SaaS? Let’s build yours!
This is what happens when clarity meets strategy. Strong positioning, strong CTA, real results. Landing pages should sell and this one clearly does.
Exciting to see this going live.
Really like the softness of the visual language — the UI feels clean without losing warmth. That balance is harder than it looks.
