I ship before I'm ready. Then I fix it. twice if I have to.
01 / why
I've knocked doors for $107K, raised $15K on nothing but conviction, and pivoted a company in a week when the data told me to. I don't believe in "the grind." I believe in distribution, shipping, and the kind of execution that happens at 2:30 AM while the library turns the lights off on you. I hate "visionary" as a job title. I hate empty product pages. I hate people who talk about shipping more than they ship. they do.

High school. Built my first site in a notebook, then in pure HTML. Broke it. Rebuilt it. This is where it started.

70 to 80 hour weeks. Doors slammed. I learned how to lose 40 times a day and still close the 41st.

MOST OF WHAT I'VE SHIPPED, NOBODY SAW. THAT'S THE WORK.

Half-finished things. Pens I keep meaning to clean up. Scripts that run every morning whether I'm there or not. Proof that I make things, not just ship them.
