YOU DON'T HAVE
TO QUIT TO
BUILD.

I've shipped 25+ apps around a full-time job.

Get The Weekend-Ship Playbook — the exact process I use to take an idea to a live app between Friday night and Sunday. Then I'll send you my build log: what I ship, what breaks, what it teaches me. No fluff.

No spam. Just the playbook + the build log. Unsubscribe anytime.
You're in.

Check your inbox — the Weekend-Ship Playbook is on the way. If it's not there in a minute, peek in spam and drag it to your primary. Now go make the embarrassing version. 🛠️

What you get

MORE THAN A FREEBIE

IT'S HOW I ACTUALLY BUILD
01 — THE PLAYBOOK

The Weekend-Ship System

The 7-step process, plus a one-page checklist. The same one I used to ship a casino, a radio station, a trading bot, and 20+ more — all after work.

02 — THE BUILD LOG

What I'm Shipping

A short, honest email when I build something. The wins, the bugs that ate my weekend, the real numbers. No 5,000-word "value bombs."

03 — THE TOOLS

Stuff You Can Use

Now and then I make something you'll actually want — an app, a template, a tool. You'll hear about it here first, before anywhere else.

Who this is for

You've got a real job and a notes app full of ideas you keep not starting. You don't need to quit, become a genius, or wait for the perfect moment. You need a Saturday and a system. That's the whole thing.

THE BRAG BOOK

STOP FORGETTING YOUR OWN WINS
Career Template · Word · PDF · Excel
YOUR WINS,
ON THE RECORD.
A living record of everything you're actually good at.

Review season shows up and your brain goes blank. The Brag Book fixes that — a simple system to log your wins, projects, recognition, goals, and skills as they happen, so when it's time to ask for the raise or the promotion, the receipts are already there. Grab whichever format you'll actually use.
