I help founders ship and scale products. Most of my clients come to me with a half-formed idea, no clear MVP scope, and a deadline that's already slipped once. What I bring is rare on Upwork: I've actually co-founded and scaled products, not just consulted on them. I'm a co-founder of Bezen, a Pinterest-style fashion marketplace that grew to 100K+ users in under 2 years — one of the fastest-growing startups in our market. I also co-founded an ed-tech learning platform with a 17-person team, and worked as a Prompt Engineer at Scale AI fine-tuning LLMs across 11 companies. What I do for clients: - MVP scoping — turn a vague idea into a shippable feature list, prioritized roadmap, and 30/60/90 plan - Marketplace & two-sided platform work — supply-side onboarding, growth loops, monetization - AI product features — scoping LLM use cases, prompt strategy, build-vs-buy decisions - Market & customer research — competitor analysis, customer segmentation, user interview synthesis Track record on Upwork: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 21+ projects, 1,500+ hours, $30K+ earned. Most clients book a free 15-min call first to scope the work. If we're a fit, I send a written proposal with milestones the same day. If we're not, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better. Open to hourly ($40/hr) or fixed-price. Available 30+ hrs/week, US Pacific time.

I help founders and business owners turn vibe-coded prototypes into real, stable products people can actually use. If you’ve built something with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI coding tool, I can help you clean it up, secure it, fix the broken pieces, and get it deployed properly. For mobile apps, I can help get your app production-ready and submitted to the App Store or Google Play. I’ve spent 15+ years building software for everyone from small businesses to venture-backed startups. I’ve led engineering at two YC-backed companies and have built dozens of applications for founders who later raised funding, became profitable, or used the product to run their business. My strength is working directly with founders. I’m not just here to write code from a ticket. I help you figure out what’s actually needed, what’s risky, what’s overbuilt, and what needs to happen to turn your prototype into something reliable. I can help with: • Stabilizing vibe-coded web and mobile apps • Fixing bugs, broken flows, and messy codebases • Securing Supabase, Firebase, APIs, auth, and payments • Deploying apps to Vercel, Render, Heroku, Supabase, etc. • Preparing and submitting mobile apps to the App Store / Google Play • Cleaning up AI-generated code • Adding missing production features • Integrating Stripe, auth, email, storage, analytics, and admin tools • Improving performance and reliability • Building MVPs from scratch when needed • Coaching founders who want to keep vibe coding but need technical guidance Tools I regularly work with professionally include JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, React, React Native, Expo, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Firebase, MongoDB, Ruby on Rails, Heroku, Render, Vercel, n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, and Go. If you have a prototype that “kind of works” but isn’t ready for real users, that’s exactly where I’m useful.
