The long version
I build things I want to exist.
The arc
I've been building software for years: backends, APIs, full-stack apps, and eventually an entire AI-powered platform as the sole technical founder of a legal-tech startup. The product worked, we handled real clients, and somewhere along the way I learned that shipping great software is the easy part of building a company.
Before that, I freelanced for four years: 40+ projects, 4.9/5 ⭐️. Go, Next.js, AWS, whatever the problem needed. Good work, good clients. But doing it enough times made something obvious: if I'm going to pour this much into building things, they should be things I actually want to exist.
So now I'm choosing the next thing carefully. Three-plus years deep in LegalTech and M&A taught me the domain cold, and taught me that knowing a space well isn't the same as wanting to build in it for years. Which one this is, I'm still working out.
