The impact

6+ shipped apps across diverse domains. All free, no signup required. Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Supabase. Each one a proof point that product leadership and hands-on building are not separate skills.

How we got there

Built and shipped a collection of free tools and apps spanning personality assessment, fantasy sports, recipe generation, media cataloging, and feed aggregation. Each project follows the same discipline: identify a real need, design the UX, build it, ship it, iterate.

The situation

Wanted to demonstrate full-stack product thinking by shipping real tools that real people use, from concept through deployment, across a range of domains.
