PRODUCT BUILDER

One person. One build. Start to finish.

I don’t run an agency. I just like to build things. I'm a creative software developer who turns raw ideas into real products - handling everything from UX to launch - and beyond.

About Me

Hello, I’m Ben, a musician-turned-product builder who designs, codes, and ships lean, AI-powered tools - fast and end-to-end. My background in composition taught me to shape ideas with structure and feel - a skill I now bring to UX, flow, and product thinking.

  • Solo, start to finishI handle product, UX, and dev. No handoffs. No delays.
  • Builder, not just coderI think in workflows and outcomes — not just 0s and 1s.
  • AI-native where it mattersI use tools like WebLLM, Groq, and Regex when they add real value (and skip them when they don’t).
  • End user hat on (always)I build products with the audience in mind. Intuitive, enjoyable user experience is a must.
  • Fast, not rushedFocused builds. Clean results. No bloat.
