About

I quit my job as a software engineer a year ago to dive into indie hacking full-time. Since then, I’ve joined several indie projects as a freelancer and made over $70K with my own products. I’m aiming high, my goal is to hit $10K MRR with tools I’ve built myself till the end of 2025, while helping others along the way.
