From Zero to
Shipped
It's not only about software. Hands-on help with web and mobile apps, getting users and traction, shipping a first version, and pressure-testing ideas — we build alongside you. From an engineer who became a founder. No cookie-cutter curriculum; we work on what you need.
Based in Austin, Texas. Available for in-person or virtual meetings.
Ship something
Web or mobile — get an app running or deployed, sometimes in one session
Stress-test ideas
Honest feedback on direction, scope, and what to build next
Users & traction
Distribution, experiments, and what to try next — not just the build
Engineer Turned Founder, Now Your Guide
I spent years as a software engineer, building products, learning what works, and making every mistake in the book. Then I took the leap to become a founder.
That journey taught me that coding is just the beginning. The real challenge is shipping something people want, getting it in front of users, and iterating based on feedback.
Now I help others skip some of that trial and error — not with a one-size-fits-all program, but by working on real problems alongside you: shipping web and mobile products, ideas, and execution.

Choose Your Path
Standalone time is $119 per hour. Bundles discount that rate. Nothing here is a fixed curriculum — you bring the problem; we work on what matters that day.
Works for web and mobile projects — one session can be enough to ship a first version, untangle a deploy, or pressure-test an idea. Multiple sessions are for whatever mix of building, feedback, and planning you need.
Single session
$119
per hour · one session
Bring whatever you’re stuck on. One focused hour — no long-term commitment.
- Web or mobile — run locally, ship to web or app stores, unblock a bug, walk through your stack
- Feedback on an idea, scope, or what to build next
- Pair on a feature or next step — you set the agenda
Five-pack
$499
5 one-hour sessions · save $96
Same flexibility as singles, at a lower per-hour rate. Use them for whatever comes up.
- 5 × 60-minute sessions (5 × $119 would be $595 — you save $96)
- Spread across topics: shipping, ideas, implementation, tools — mix and match
- No formal curriculum — we decide what each session covers as you go
- Light async check-ins between sessions when it helps
Flexible & ongoing
Let’s talk
Open-ended · your hours, your pace
When your situation doesn’t fit a fixed bundle — irregular schedule, longer arc, or varied session length.
- Flexible length and cadence — not only 60-minute blocks
- Retainer-style or ad-hoc: we align on what you need, not a preset program
- Room to go deeper on implementation, launches, or strategy over time
- Priority scheduling when capacity allows
Questions?
Ask about timing, invoicing, or what a session could look like for your situation — no pressure.

These are examples, not a checklist — browser, App Store, Play Store, or all of the above. Every session is different; we pick what to focus on based on what you bring.
Get an app up and running
Web or mobile — from stuck to shipping: environments, first deploy, hosting, TestFlight or store prep, domains — sometimes enough for a single session.
Often fits in one hour
Feedback on ideas
Pressure-test product direction, scope, and what to validate next. Honest takes from someone who’s shipped and killed features.
When you need a sounding board
Distribution
Get your product in front of people — SEO, UGC, Reddit and other communities, experiments, launch sequencing, and what to try when growth or reach is the bottleneck.
Users & reach
Implement a plan together
Pair on the work: features, refactors, debugging, architecture calls — you drive what we tackle each time.
Hands-on building
Move faster with modern tools
Cursor, v0, Copilot, deployment workflows — practical help so you spend less time fighting tooling.
Speed & workflow
More time when you need it
Multiple sessions for whatever mix makes sense: shipping, feedback, and execution — without locking into a prescribed program.
Ongoing or spaced out
Not sure what to book? Message me with where you are — we'll figure out whether one session or a few makes sense.
