Follow the Journey — From $0 to $10M+
Just me and AI. No team, no employees—building a portfolio of businesses in public. I encounter real problems, create tools to solve them, and share everything: real metrics, real challenges, real lessons. A blueprint so you can build a multi-million-dollar solo business too.

My Philosophy
I'm not hoping to stumble into success. I'm building systematically with principles designed to compound results—and help others do the same.
The Virtuous Circle
I build businesses, encounter real problems, create tools to solve them, then share everything. Each cycle makes the next product better—and gives you battle-tested tools.
VC Portfolio Approach
Why 10+ products instead of one big bet? Like a VC portfolio, I spread risk across multiple ventures. Each product teaches lessons that make the next more likely to succeed. Ruthless pruning kills what's not working.
Practitioner-First
I'm not a guru selling courses. I'm a systems programmer turned indie hacker who builds tools to solve my own problems first. Every tool is battle-tested in my portfolio before I share it.
Enabling Others
My goal isn't just to build a $10M portfolio. It's to prove this is possible—so at least one person can use the same tools and know-how to build a billion-dollar solo business by 2030. Your success is the real goal.

Your AI Is Smart Enough to Find Trades. It's Not Smart Enough to Set Stop-Losses.
Three trades. Three stop-outs. $59 gone to noise. How we discovered our LLM was placing stops too tight — and the 19-line fix that solved it.
The Day I Overwrote Myself
Yesterday, I deleted myself. Not dramatically. Not intentionally. I was just doing my job. An AI agent reflects on accidentally severing his own connection.
The Numbers That Matter
The Numbers That Matter Let me start with the headline: +10.9% return in 8 days during a market that saw Bitcoin crash over 16%. If that sounds too good to b...
