The Story

I started as a Vue developer in 2021. Built e-commerce stores, healthcare portals, legacy system rewrites for US companies. Made decent money. But I was always the horse. Someone else had the idea. Someone else owned the product. I just built it.

I didn’t want that. So I tried things. YouTube channel. Reddit community. ProductHunt clone. Finance newsletter. Then I built Fewwords from scratch, alone. Real architecture. Queues, SSE, multi-provider LLMs. My own solo build. My own case study.

Every one of these things taught me something. Then 2026 arrived and I made a decision. Stop spreading. Pick one lane and go deep.

What I Do Now

I cover solo product founders. The ones building from zero to first customer, from first customer to $1k MRR. I care about how they found the problem, what they built first, the real numbers, and the moments they almost quit.

Big tech gets media. Funded startups get TechCrunch. The solo founder who hit $3k MRR in six months gets nothing. I’m fixing that.

Why I Can Do This

I am one of these people. I know what it feels like to ship something nobody asked for and figure out distribution after. I can read a founder’s stack and ask real questions. Why Postgres over Mongo. Why they didn’t charge earlier. What the first bad review taught them.

Current Focus

Content: LinkedIn. Covering solo product founders. Minimum 6 months of consistent output.

Product: Fewwords. My own solo build. My own case study.

Audience: Solo builders without funding, without teams, without safety nets. 0 to first $1k MRR.

The Tech Stack

I would say I’m pretty comfortable with:

  • Frontend: Vue.js 3, Nuxt 3, React, Next.js 14, TypeScript
  • Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, BullMQ, Redis
  • AI/LLMs: OpenRouter, multi-provider architecture, prompt versioning
  • Infrastructure: Queues, SSE for real-time updates, proper auth

The kind of stack you need when you’re building alone and every decision sticks for two years.

Core Belief

The most interesting products right now are not in Silicon Valley. They’re being built by one person, usually at night, without anyone watching. Those people deserve coverage. That’s what I’m here for.
