I've built 30+ products across my career — CRMs, marketplaces, automation systems, AI tools, a price drop monitor tracking 10,000+ products across 20+ stores, an investment fund manager. Some are still running. Some were sold or handed off. Some I shut down when they stopped making sense. Some I abandoned.
That's the honest picture across 20 years — and it's where my judgment about scope, timelines, and what tends to go wrong actually comes from.
| Product | Year | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| RealEstateCRM | 2021 | Still running | Full CRM + listing site. Zero involvement since launch. |
| Automator | 2021 | Still running | 200,000+ music releases published. Under 10 min/day to operate. |
| CheckMVP | 2024 | Discontinued | 500+ startup ideas analyzed. Killed it when I realized the model was wrong, not the execution. |
| FutuSho | 2023 | Abandoned | 6 months of work. Hit a dead end in web3 infrastructure. |
| FutureAngel | 2025 | Handed off | Investment fund manager. Outgrew our bandwidth — handed to design partners. |
| Made4 | 2025 | In progress | SMM operating system for agencies and in-house teams. Currently in beta. |
