About

Hi, I’m Gavin, the founder of Rivra. With 19+ years as a Solutions Architect in the SF Bay Area’s Big Tech ecosystem, I’ve spent my career building secure, complex systems. I founded Rivra Dev to bring Enterprise-grade engineering to simple tools. I believe even a $3/mo app deserves top-tier data integrity and security. My philosophy is to eliminate boring work, not to train users on the 'right way' to do it manually. Every app we provide is designed to remove tedious tasks while maximizing accuracy and convenience. Building Recite — bookkeeping removed for solo founders. No bloat. No compromise on security. Just precision-engineered efficiency for freelancers and indie hackers.

Vibe Coding Without the $200 Price Tag: Multi-Model Workflow.

How much do you spend on monthly subscriptions?

If you re already on a premium plan like Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro, stick with it, unless you really want to optimize your "vibe coding" workflow.

Software should know when a problem is no longer a problem 👀

One thing that quietly hurts trust in developer tools:

stale signals.
