Things I’ve built

Youform

Beautiful forms. A fairer price.

Building

A form builder with unlimited forms and responses on the free plan. Now with AI-built landing pages, too.

I started writing the first lines of code in 2023. Today, Davis and I are growing it as an independent, customer-funded business.

Youform now has 100k+ users and handles 1M+ form submissions every month.

Explore Youform

Botflow

A no-code chatbot builder.

Sold 2023

I planned to build Botflow in a weekend. It took longer.

Botflow became my first real experience building a visual editor. I grew it to around 200 users organically and sold it in July 2023. The next idea was Youform.

OgHero

Social preview images, on autopilot.

Sold 2019

My first product after leaving my engineering job. Connect a blog, and OgHero generated its social preview images automatically.

I built it in a weekend and sold it within a month. The service has since closed.

Interviews

The short version

I started my career at Squareboat in 2015, building web and mobile products. Four years later, I left to freelance and build my own products.

After selling Botflow and OgHero, I’m focused on Youform.

I write code, talk to customers, and decide what to build next.

The longer version

Away from the screen

I enjoy piano, chess, and reading.

I love spending time with my wife and our three-year-old daughter.
