I started out as a full-stack web developer (Angular, back in the day), working alongside several startups early on. That's where I learned the job is bigger than writing code: founders need someone who helps shape the product, not just build it.
For about four years I moved into the Webflow world. And even there I wasn't just building websites: I used Wized and Xano to ship real web apps, and wrote JavaScript to add the interactivity those tools couldn't reach. That's also where I kept running into their limits.
So now I'm back to development, working the way I do best: a technical partner who helps founders structure their product and prioritize what to build, then builds it with them. Scalable web apps from the ground up, and migrations off Lovable, Bolt, and other no-code tools when they start hitting walls with scale, security, costs, or lock-in.
If that's where you are right now, let's connect. I'd genuinely love to hear what you're building.
