About

Over the last 6+ years, I have worked across startups and product teams, building scalable web applications and backend systems. Passionate about AI, developer tools, and turning ideas into products people actually use. Always learning, shipping, and connecting with fellow makers. I believe consistent shipping beats perfect planning.

What makes you trust a new SaaS product?

I have been thinking about this recently. When I discover a new SaaS product, I don t only judge it by the design or features. I usually look at whether the homepage explains the problem clearly, if the pricing is simple, if there are real screenshots, and if the team/founder feels reachable.

Sometimes, a simple product with clear messaging feels more trustworthy than a very polished product with vague promises.

What do you personally check before trusting or trying a new SaaS product?

When does a vibe-coded product actually need an engineer?

Vibe coding is great until your product has real users. Then the "vibe" hits a wall. Slow queries. Weird bugs. Features that break other features. You can patch it for a while. But eventually, the tech debt catches up.

At what point do you stop vibing and bring in someone who actually knows what they're doing?

Is it:

  • When you hit 10 paying users?

  • When the app crashes more than once a week?

  • When adding a new feature takes longer than building the MVP?
