02My story

It started as a question I couldn't read my way out of.

01 / 03Working notes
Portrait — withheld on purpose. The work is the picture.
03Timeline

The path, compressed.

  1. 2018First thing I shipped

    Eleven users, all of whom I knew. It broke in a way I could not explain.

  2. 2021Learning the business side

    Selling, pricing and the slow discovery that distribution is the product.

  3. 2023Building for operators

    Inventory and hospitality software for businesses that run on stock and shifts.

  4. 2025AI as infrastructure

    Small models doing narrow jobs inside real workflows.

  5. 2026AutoGrowX and Foundry

    Growth systems and AI business infrastructure, built in public.

04How I think

Six positions I keep returning to.

01

Build the smallest version that can answer the question.

02

Removal is a feature, and it is the hardest one to schedule.

03

Distribution belongs in the build, not the launch.

04

People adopt what they can explain to someone else.

05

Write it down while it is still uncomfortable.

06

Understand the business before optimising the software.

I care about work that keeps being useful after the launch week is over.
