A New Chapter
After 11+ years of building software for companies, I'm finally taking the leap into building my own products. This blog is where I'll share the journey—the wins, the failures, and everything in between.
What I'm Building
Wishare
A wishlist sharing app that makes it easy to share gift ideas with friends and family. Born out of my own frustration with existing solutions that felt clunky or required everyone to create accounts.
The tech stack: Ruby on Rails 8, Hotwire, PostgreSQL, deployed on Railway.
GetReadyForWork
A productivity tool I'm building to help people start their workday with intention. More details coming soon.
Why Build in Public?
- Accountability - Writing about my progress keeps me honest and motivated
- Learning - Teaching forces you to understand things deeply
- Connection - Meeting other indie hackers and builders
What to Expect
I'll be writing about:
- Technical deep-dives into interesting problems I solve
- Product decisions and the reasoning behind them
- Growth experiments and what works (or doesn't)
- The emotional rollercoaster of indie hacking
Let's see where this goes.
Follow along as I build. Feel free to reach out on GitHub or LinkedIn.
