About

I'm a solo maker who learned the hard way that building without validating is a recipe for heartbreak. Spent months on a product nobody wanted, and that experience stuck with me. Now I build tools that help other founders figure out if their idea has legs before they sink real time into it. When I'm not coding, I'm probably reading, running, or spending time with my kid. I believe good software solves real problems — and the best way to know what's real is to ship fast and listen harder.

ValidMyIdea - Research-backed startup reports in ~4 minutes

Most startup ideas die because nobody checked if anyone wanted them. I learned that the hard way — spent months building something nobody cared about. That's why I built ValidMyIdea. You type in your idea, and in about 4 minutes you get a report covering market size, competitors, risks, and a straight answer on whether it's worth pursuing. It won't replace talking to real customers, but it'll catch obvious dead ends before you waste your time. Free to start. No credit card needed.
