About

I'm a developer of people — I help builders, leaders, and teams grow into the version of themselves the work needs. I founded RaveRep so anyone can own a reputation built on real proof, not a resume.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Owen. (Looking for launch advice)

Long-time lurker, first-time poster, and honestly, being here feels a bit like coming home.

I've been building and designing things since I was 15. Taught myself to code, fell in love with graphic design, and somewhere in there ended up running an online forum with 30,000 members. I was never a deep engineer - mostly front-end, HTML, CSS, a little PHP - but the itch to make things never left.

Then in 2017, I spent years in sales and kept seeing the same thing: great people doing work customers loved, and all that proof just vanishing. A text here, a screenshot there, a review on a platform that owns it. Each piece too small to matter on its own.

I knew exactly what needed to exist. I just couldn't build something that ambitious on my own back then so I carried the idea for nine years until I finally could.
