About

I’m a product builder focused on developer tools, APIs, AI, and turning messy problems into useful software. Always happy to connect with developers, founders, and early adopters.

Zapinner - Stop rebuilding the boring stuff

Zapinner gives developers 79 production-ready data utilities through one API. Normalize messy data, detect duplicates, validate records, repair JSON, detect PII, reconcile sources, transform data, and more—without rebuilding the same utility code for every project. Use REST, SDKs, or connect AI agents through MCP. One integration, consistent structured responses, and a free tier to start.
