Insights
How these are computed- Run-rate, measured
- pending
- Needs two observations at least 14 days apart. Our next read of this page turns this on. Nothing is extrapolated from a single contract.
- Lifetime pace
- $122K/yr estimate
- Lifetime earnings divided by years on Upwork. A floor on historical pace, not a forecast.
- Earnings per job
- $9.7K
- Average contract value to date.
- Recent earnings, per Upwork
- $2.6K
- The "recent" figure Upwork attaches to the directory card. Upwork does not publish the window, so it is shown as its number, not ours.
- Realised hourly
- $80/hr
- Total earned over billed hours. Fixed-price work inflates it; compare with the rate card.

About
🚀 Have an AI app idea but not sure where to start? Built a prototype with vibe coding and hit a wall? Want to scale your business with an AI-powered app? Most founders spend 6+ months and $50K+ building something nobody wants—what I call the entrepreneurial delusion. The reality: 90% of apps fail, usually due to poor market fit. I help founders and business owners launch AI-powered apps with confidence by combining product strategy, design, and development. Before you invest heavily, I validate your idea with real users so decisions are data-driven—not guesswork. If you’ve built a prototype using tools like Lovable or Replit, I can help turn it into a production-ready application. 👤 Why Me I’ve been in your shoes. My first startup, SchooLinks, took two painful years of mistakes before becoming an industry leader. Today, it has raised $90M+, been featured in Forbes, and ranked on the Inc. 5000 list. I’m also a former VP of Technology at UC Berkeley’s Entrepreneurial Association, where I advised dozens of startups. I bring both technical depth and business acumen to help you launch products and transform operations the right way. 📈 Key Achievements Top 1% in App Design & Development worldwide on Upwork 10K+ 5-star reviews 2M+ users across client apps $350M+ raised by portfolio companies Clients include Samsung, Harvard, Indeed, UC Berkeley Reduced client operational time by up to 40% using AI Recognized as Top 10 Designer & Developer in SF by Clutch, Expertise, and The Manifest 🔑 What I Do Differently Most agencies jump straight into design and development. I start with idea validation and user interviews to reduce risk, save time, and avoid wasted spend. As a business owner, I understand real operational pain points and design AI-powered solutions and automations (e.g., AI agents) across invoicing, CRM, client management, inventory, and analytics—apps that are both user-centered and technically sound. 🤝 Who I’m a Good Fit For If you’re looking for a “code monkey,” I’m not the right fit. I bring product strategy and end-to-end ownership. I’ll be honest—if we’re not a fit, I’ll tell you and point you in the right direction. 🎯 Mission & Guarantee I’m selective about the projects I take on. If we’re not aligned after the initial consultation, I’ll refund the call—no risk, no pressure. My goal is long-term partnerships and real value from day one. 🛠 Tech Stack Design: Figma Development: Flutter, Node.js, Angular, AWS, MongoDB AI: OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude APIs: Stripe, Twilio, Google Cloud, OpenAIRead more
