Most MVPs don't fail at launch.

They fail a few months later, when real users arrive and the shortcuts start to hurt.

I work with founders before that happens.

Founders usually come to me when they’re trying to 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 and don’t yet know what will matter once real users start using it.

That’s the moment when small, reasonable-looking decisions quietly become expensive and hard to undo.

My role isn't to build fast or chase features.

  • It's to help you decide what must not break later, before code hardens those decisions.
  • I don't believe in throwaway MVPs.
  • I don't believe speed is a virtue if it creates regret.
  • Early product work is about removing future risk, not adding surface polish.

Done right, it actually lets teams move faster later, without regret.

When we work together, I help you:

  • Design architecture that won't force a rewrite at your next funding round
  • Build systems that stay simple to operate as your team grows
  • Make technical decisions that expand your options instead of closing them
  • Ship something durable enough to become your actual product

I work long-term with a small number of founders who value this approach.

Most of my relationships span years, not sprints, because the products we build together don't need replacing.
