Validate My Saas

My first solo-startup.

Engineers love to build. A common pitfall is building without looking up to see if weโ€™re building something someone needs.

Validate My Saas helps indie founders validate their startup idea BEFORE they build. We do this with an automated competitor analysis report weaving GenAI, RAG, and other techniques.

Age of Learning

As a software engineer at Age of Learning I led a small team of artists, game designers, and curriculum specialists as we created games for kids that are both engaging and educational. Our core product, ABCMouse, is #1 in the educational section of the appstore and recently passed 4-Billion learning-activities served.

What I'm most proud of though, is that Age of Learning is working so hard to make our product available for free for kids who really need it. ABCmouse is free to use in 16,000 Libraries, and if you're a teacher, ABCmouse is free to use in your classroom.

7 Elements Studios

For seven years I lived in Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ as the founding employee of a gaming startup that grew to 50 of us across offices in 2 countries and an adventure that would shape my soul.

We built two epic realtime MMO strategy games. My primary role was game designer and product manager, though wore many hats from project management, art direction, community management, and more.

-- ACTIVISM --

Empower-Kit.com

Hypothesis: there is an army of activists and inspired people ready to tackle big societal problems, but we donโ€™t know where to begin or what we can do that would make a difference.

Empower-Kit is a simple directory I put together to help bridge the gap between wanting to help and helping.

STAR Voting

What's the most effective problem to tackle? Our divisive politics prevent us from making progress on any of the other critical issues. STAR Voting is simple voting reform that would solve this problem, bring fair representation and allow everyone to vote for who they WANT to govern us, not who they think can win.

I'm very proud to have worked with the STAR Elections Software Development Team.
