I work with non-technical startup founders using Cursor, Replit, or
Windsurf to co-develop software. By reviewing, editing, and validating
their changes in real-time—then syncing those updates back into the
repo—I keep momentum high and timelines short. It’s like pair
programming across a skill gap.
How we helped a funded founder launch a creator-focused iOS social app
using Firebase, SwiftUI, and custom media caching. Real-time feeds,
video playback, and a companion analytics dashboard—all in under 6
months.
Debugging isn’t about guessing—it’s detective work. Learn why I always
begin with a fixed, three‑hour discovery sprint and how that model
keeps your budget safe while giving me the space to uncover the real
culprit in your code.
Forget the hype: AI can’t refactor your legacy codebase or untangle
years of tech‑debt without a seasoned engineer at the helm. In this
piece I break down why “hands‑off” coding is a myth, how to Marie
Kondo your codebase, and why interviews that hinge on LeetCode still
miss the point.
One critical question founders always ask is budget: app development rarely ends after launch. This quick guide explains why MVPs start around $25k–$50k and how ongoing updates shape total cost.
Brewing a Better Beer‑Lovers App: A Behind‑the‑Scenes Tour
We overhauled our craft‑beer social app: real‑time feed, personal cellar, dark mode, smarter notifications, and major performance boosts—all in one sprint.
