About

Full-stack Product Engineer building modern, production-ready apps for companies and myself.

Over the past decade, I've worked as a freelance full-stack developer mostly with startups and small businesses. In 2020, I decided to deepen my business and product knowledge to build outstanding products.

As of now, I'm building production-ready products efficiently and documenting my journey as a solopreneur product engineer.

## Why building in public?

- Following other people's journeys can teach you a lot. As well as you, I follow many other creators.
- Being active on social media and building in public allowed me to be part of a club that prioritizes shipping and giving value.

## What's here?

Videos, tutorials, actionable tips & tricks about product engineering and solopreneurship.

## What am I working on currently?

1. Building indie products and documenting the process on Twitter & YouTube
2. Helping companies with product engineering
3. Mentoring developers to become solopreneurs
4. Developing open-source dev tools

## I am available for:

- public speaking
- content collaboration
- mentoring
- consulting & product engineering

More background & experience:

**My background as a Product Engineer:** I design and develop business-oriented, user-centered digital products using battle-tested technologies. That's what I've been doing for 12 years so far. I also often experiment with new tech.

**My background as a Content Creator:** I love sharing my experiences with others, so I make tutorials, share stuff on Twitter, and occasionally release a video. The main topics are engineering great products and how not to die as a solopreneur.

**My background as an Entrepreneur:** I've managed small & medium-sized product teams between 2018-2023 and ran a US-based international product agency with ~50 contractors. I managed and oversaw product engineering projects from sales to design & development to marketing.

David was exceptional! His knowledge of react-native is off-the-charts! He has been in that space since 2017 and told me about a complex data syncing framework he built from the ground-up. He also sent me a ton of resources for react-native. All of this just in one session. Such good value!
