Background
I'm an operations professional at by day and an independent product builder by night. UC Berkeley alum based in Valencia, CA.
I don't come from a traditional engineering background — I come from a product and operations mindset. That means I build from the user's perspective first and work backwards to the implementation. It's why my apps ship polished rather than just functional.
I use AI-assisted development tools — Lovable, Rork, Claude, Supabase — not as shortcuts, but as a legitimate methodology for shipping real software fast. Four production apps proves the approach works.
I've navigated App Store rejections, Stripe webhook infrastructure, RLS policies, and EAS build pipelines. I know the full stack from concept to live product.
What I Do
Web + iOS with auth, payments, and user dashboards. Lovable frontend, Supabase backend, Stripe billing. From idea to live product in weeks.
React Native + Expo, including full App Store submission pipeline. I've navigated rejections and resubmissions — I know how to get approved.
Subscription billing with webhook infrastructure, customer portals, and payment flows. Production-tested with real customers.
Database schema design, Row Level Security policies, Edge Functions, Auth configuration, and real-time subscriptions.
Lovable-built dashboards, admin panels, and web portals connected to Supabase. Fast to build, easy to maintain.
Help non-technical founders scope, architect, and ship their first product. I speak both product and technical — I bridge the gap.
Have a project in mind? I work fixed-price, move fast, and deliver working software.
