Perpetual tool hunter.

About

Senior engineering manager working across network engineering, cloud infra, and AI/ML tooling. I run a home lab and a small portfolio of side projects, so I'm always on the lookout for tools that make infrastructure, automation, and dev workflows less painful. On Product Hunt to find (and occasionally replace) the utilities I depend on daily.

DumpsterPilot - Run your dumpster rental business without the whiteboard

DumpsterPilot runs a whole dumpster rental business for $49/month flat. Every container has a record, date checks stop double-bookings, and each rental keeps delivery, pickup, placement notes, POs and swaps in one place. Dispatch assigns drivers and trucks, and drivers get a phone worklist with directions and photos. When the can comes back, log the scale ticket and extra days and overage tons land on the invoice automatically. Unlimited containers and drivers. 7-day trial, no card.

PestWarden Pro - Run your pest control business without the spreadsheet

PestWarden Pro runs a whole pest control business for $20/month flat. Customers and their properties, quarterlies that rebook themselves, service plans that invoice themselves, day routes optimized in one tap, and a My Day app your techs open on any phone. The part nobody else does well: compliance builds itself. Every application is logged at the door with its EPA reg number, every bait station keeps its own history, every license is flagged 60 days out. Unlimited techs. 7-day trial, no card.
