I help small teams ship the thing they keep putting off.

Freelance consultant and hands-on builder. Some weeks that means writing code, some weeks it means untangling a plan that stalled. I like both.

A bit about me

I've spent the last several years moving between building products and advising the people building them — which mostly means I'm equally comfortable in a spreadsheet and a codebase.

Outside of client work, I tinker with side projects, and I'm usually the person my friends call when their business needs a website nobody hates.

Things I've made

A few recent projects — client work and things built for fun.

Checkout Rescue

Rebuilt a clunky checkout flow for a small DTC brand and cut cart drop-off noticeably in the first month.

Product

Ledger

A lightweight invoicing tool I built for freelancers who were tired of fighting spreadsheets.

Side project

Field Notes

Helped a two-person startup turn a pile of customer interviews into an actual roadmap.

Strategy

People I back

Friends doing good work. Happy to send business their way.

Friend's thing

Maren's Ceramics

Hand-thrown mugs and bowls. My whole kitchen is basically an ad for her shop.

Northline Coffee

Small-batch roaster with a cold brew that's ruined every other cold brew for me.

Ada Builds

A friend's freelance dev shop — great for React work if I'm not the right fit.

How we could work together

Three shapes this usually takes. Most projects are some mix of all three.

Build

Websites, tools, and small products, designed and shipped end to end.

Advise

Ongoing or one-off consulting when you need an outside brain on the problem.

Rescue

Something's stuck or broken. I come in, figure out why, and fix it.
