A running log of what got built, who it was for, and what it taught me.
April was about foundations — one for me, one for a client who'd been trying to lay his own for years.
Building my own systems
I finally gave OhDavid the same treatment I give clients: a real, owned operating system instead of a stack of rented tools. A custom admin on Next.js and Supabase, an AI phone and email layer, and a team of AI agents that run the coordination overhead a solo operator can't. The point wasn't automation for its own sake — it was to unlock the business I actually want to run.

DomainNameTag
Joseph had tried to build his curated domain marketplace himself. Four times. Hundreds of hours that never became the thing in his head. So we built it for real — and it's now an actual business he runs outreach on top of.

The theme
Both builds were about the same thing: the gap between having a real vision and having a real system to run it on. Closing that gap is most of what I do.
