Hire
Staff-track roles at product-led companies — complex UI, design systems, and high-trust flows in fintech, SaaS, and founder tools.
Co-founder
Early-stage with real equity and ownership. I bring senior frontend craft plus product sense from day one.
Consulting
Short sprints or long embeds. 0→1 builds and rescue passes are where I do my best work.
02 · Services
0→1 Product
Own the roadmap, architecture, and build — from first user flow to deployed MVP. Web apps, mobile (React Native), and full-stack product work.
Embedded · Sprint from 4 weeks
Ship & extend
New modules, integrations, design systems, and performance work on existing codebases. I slot into your team and ship merged PRs, not long proposals.
Embedded · Sprint from 2 weeks
Rescue & cleanup
Moved fast with AI, no-code, or a first dev? I audit, simplify, refactor, and harden — without a full rewrite unless you actually need one.
Rescue · 2–4 week fixed scope
Websites & surfaces
Polished websites and product marketing surfaces that still feel engineered — fast, accessible, and ready to iterate without a rebuild.
Sprint · 1–3 weeks
Remote · contract · EU/US overlap
