— What I do
Solo designer-engineer. I turn a pitch deck into a working product investors can open, tap, and feel. Shipped in weeks, not quarters.
Most MVPs die in the deck. I make the one that ships.
You have a pitch deck and no engineer. Dev shops quote you six figures and six months. You need something investors can open on their phone next Tuesday.
I’m a solo designer-engineer. I do the product thinking, the interface, and the code — in the same head, no handoffs, no agency middle layer. One person who owns the whole thing from whiteboard to App Store.
I shipped an app called Learnin solo in six months — design, auth, database, payments, iOS, the whole stack. That’s the exact muscle I bring to your MVP.
Learnin
The AI tutor that builds career courses for you.
— Overview
A mobile app that generates a structured career course for working professionals — role, goal, and prior knowledge in, lessons and quizzes out.
Designed, built, and shipped solo. Live on uselearnin.com, iOS in review at Apple, 49 friends-and-family users onboarded.
Stack
Expo / React Native / TypeScript on the client. Supabase for auth, Postgres, edge functions, and realtime. RevenueCat for subscriptions. OpenAI for course generation. Shipped to the App Store.
What was built
Onboarding flow, persona-aware lesson generator, quiz engine, streak & XP system without dark patterns, paywall, course-sharing links, admin dashboard, feedback pipeline, Telegram bot for user signals.
The point
Every layer of this app — the copy, the auth flow, the DB schema, the pricing, the iOS build — is one person’s work. If I can build Learnin solo, I can build your MVP solo.
Bounty
Crowdfund the dare. Escrow enforces delivery.
— Overview
A platform where creators post challenges to their audiences, backers crowdfund them, and funds only release when the community confirms delivery.
Designed and shipped solo, end to end. Full Stripe escrow infrastructure, Postgres schema with row-level security, and a community vote resolution system — all built for one non-technical founder who needed proof of concept before raising.
Stack
Next.js App Router + TypeScript on the web. Supabase for Postgres, auth, storage, and row-level security. Stripe Connect for escrow, payouts, and refunds. Resend for transactional email. Deployed on Vercel.
What was built
Challenge creation flow, crowdfunding progress tracker, Stripe PaymentIntent escrow, webhook reconciliation, community delivery voting with 66% / 50% thresholds, refund path on dispute, creator profile & onboarding, explore feed with category filters, mobile-first funding sheet.
Hardest part
Designing the escrow state machine so funds are captured safely, voting resolves without gaming, and disputes open a manual review path — all in a schema that passes RLS inspection and reconciles with Stripe’s async webhooks.
The point
The hardest MVPs involve money. Bounty shows I can ship real payment flows — not just a pretty marketing site. If your MVP needs Stripe, auth, or a vote/approval engine, this is the evidence.
Flat fee. Scoped. Shipped.
Three ways to work together. No hourly billing, no scope-creep games, no “while you’re in there” freebies. Fifty percent up front, fifty on delivery.
Pitch Prototype
Clickable front-end. One core user flow. Hosted on a real URL. No real backend — but it looks and feels like the product. Perfect for investor demos.
Launchable MVP
The real thing. Auth, database, one-to-two core flows, deployed to production. Real users can sign up and actually use it. The version you put in a pitch deck without apology.
Retainer
For after the MVP ships. Ongoing feature work, iteration from user feedback, demo-day preparation, investor-update support. Cancel anytime.
* Scope locked in writing before we start. Change orders are fine — silently creeping scope is not.
How it actually goes.
A conversation.
30 minutes on a call. I ask what you’re building, who it’s for, and what investors need to see. You ask me anything. If we’re a fit, I send a scope and a fixed price the next day. No forms, no questionnaires, no account manager.
Kickoff and shape.
Fifty percent wired. I share a Figma link within 48 hours — usually a rough version of the hero flow. We iterate fast over text. No hour-long review meetings.
Build in public.
You get a staging link from day one and can open it anytime. I push updates as I go, not at milestones. Weekly summaries on Fridays. You see the thing becoming the thing.
It goes live.
Deploy, hand over the keys, 30-day bug support, and a clean loom walkthrough of the codebase. Final fifty on delivery. If you want to keep going, we move to retainer.
Got a deck.
Need the product.
Let’s talk.
30-minute intro call. I’ll ask what you’re building and who it’s for. If we’re a fit, you get a scope and a fixed price the next day.
