Independent Developer · American Fork, Utah → Amsterdam

Building software
to fund a one-way
flight
to the Netherlands.

I'm a solo technical founder building products in the GoHighLevel ecosystem and AI development space. My wife, five kids, one dog, one destination. The DAFT visa is the plan. MRR is the mechanism. Everything between here and the departure gate is documented here.

I build software products in the GoHighLevel ecosystem and AI dev space as a solo operator. For years I built quietly — healthcare integrations, custom GHL implementations, full-stack client work. Now I'm building publicly, with a specific destination in mind. The Netherlands. My family of seven is coming with me. The products are funding the move.

34% of the way to Amsterdam. Here's what moved the needle — and what broke.

A Facebook DM integration hit a platform-level wall. LeadsAI shipped. The HIPAA project is bottlenecked on documentation. And I started doing this publicly — which feels uncomfortable in a way that probably means it's the right call.
