About

Hey! I’m a developer and founding member at Flexprice, where I’m leading the engineering side, building scalable, high-performance systems that power real impact. Beyond code, I love getting involved in every part of the startup journey , from marketing and sales to user onboarding, product growth, and strategy. There’s something exciting about wearing multiple hats and turning raw ideas into something real. Always curious about what’s brewing in the startup ecosystem : new products, founder stories, and bold ideas that push the edge of what’s possible. Let’s connect and talk about building cool things, scaling ideas, or just nerd out on product and tech.

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.
But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.

Coding from your phone

Hey, I was wondering how many of you are coding from the phone - it's easier to do it with AI coding agents now, so I'm wondering how often developers are doing it.

Personally, I do some coding tasks daily from my phone and I'm curious how others are doing it?

What's something you built that you thought was genius and nobody used?

Three months. Two developers. One feature nobody used.

I knew it was bad when I checked the analytics and saw that the only person who used it more than once was me. And even I stopped after the second week.

Here's how I knew it was a waste of time. Not in hindsight. In the moment. I just ignored the signs.

The first sign: I couldn't explain it in one sentence.
