I build simple, working MVPs fast. Clients come to me when they need more than an idea but don’t want to waste months on bloated builds. I use modern tools like Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, and AI coding assistants (Cursor, ChatGPT) to turn concepts into functioning prototypes in days, not months. My background: years of experience creating automation, dashboards, and custom workflows in Google Sheets and Apps Script.
