Hey everyone — long-time lurker, first post.
Short version of who I am: I grew up in Seattle, but now live in a town of
2500 in NW Iowa. I'm a builder by nature. Inside, I build software products.
Fast, and mostly by myself. Outside, I'm finishing up a gravel road and a
water collection system.
My background is in SEO (started with rank and rent back in 2018) ,
but over the last stretch my real edge has become the ability to take an
idea and have a working, deployed product in front of real users in days
instead of quarters — lately I've found the combination of Claude &
Cloudflare to be quite effective.
What I'm working on right now:
1. A local service marketplace — people post a job, nearby providers
respond with questions and quotes. Starting hyper-local in my county
and expanding out.
2. A multi-tenant "operations vault" tool that provides the structure for
selling digital products.
3. Ongoing SEO / lead-gen work that pays the bills while the above mature.
Why I'm posting instead of lurking: two reasons.
First, I want to actually give value here, not just extract it. If you're
stuck on anything around getting found (SEO, technical/local, organic
distribution), or on the "I have an idea but I can't get it built" wall —
that second one is my whole thing now — reply or DM me. Happy to help
where I can.
Second, feedback and ideas. I work remote and live in a small farming
community in NW Iowa about an hour SE of Sioux Falls SD. I hope to
find more tech-minded people so I can get better this new craft of
using AI to build and sell software and other products over the internet.
Glad to be here. What are you building?
