A first version of a SaaS idea
Choose one customer, one recurring problem, and one useful outcome. Build the essential flow so you can learn from actual use before adding more features.
Software development for St. Petersburg.
Have a product idea worth testing? I turn the core user journey into a working prototype, then help define what a production release needs.
Based in Savannah, Georgia. Working remotely with St. Petersburg teams.
A practical fit for St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg's industry mix includes technology, financial services, and creative businesses. My focus here is the early product question: what should people be able to try before you fund a larger build?
St. Pete EDC: industries and businessesStart with something people can use.
Possible projects to scope together.
A member or customer platform
Give people a clear path through content, conversations, or account tasks. Define roles and permissions alongside the interface, not after the screens are finished.
An agency's custom application
Turn an approved design or client brief into a scoped web application. Agree on who owns client communication, acceptance, and ongoing support before implementation.
PushdUp
PushdUp is a community platform for organized discussions and content. I set its product direction and coordinated the AI-assisted build, including posting, reader flows, category navigation, review, and testing. This is a portfolio example, not a St. Petersburg client engagement.
Explore the projectOne developer. A clear remote process.
15+ years in software and frontend engineering. AI tools accelerate implementation; product decisions, architecture, review, testing, and delivery remain my responsibility.
Define the work
We agree on the users, scope, cost, timing, and what an accepted delivery includes.
Review working software
Video calls, written decisions, and testable releases keep your team involved. We share the same Eastern time zone.
Plan the handoff
Source access, deployment notes, known limitations, and support responsibilities are agreed as part of the scope.
Before we start.
Can we start with a prototype instead of a full application?
Yes. A prototype can test an interaction or an assumption. We label its limitations and separately scope the authentication, security, reliability, and other checks needed for production.
Can you continue a product started in an AI builder?
I can review what exists, including the code, data model, hosting, and known problems. That review determines whether to extend it, repair specific parts, or propose a different approach.
What happens after the MVP?
We review what users could and could not do, then decide on the next release. Continued development and support are separate scope decisions, not an automatic commitment.

Bring one problem to the call.
Bring the person you are building for, the task they should complete, and any sketches or existing prototype. We will separate the first useful version from the longer-term feature list.
