I'm Micah.
I ship products solo.
Senior-pace shipping at one-person-team scale. 19 products built solo, 9 live in production today. Claude Code is my co-builder, the Anthropic SDK is in my production stack, and the work is the proof.
What are you hiring for?
If you're hiring a modern-stack builder
I direct Claude like a team lead
directs their devs.
I drive the tooling — Claude Code and the Anthropic SDK are part of how I ship, not a crutch I lean on. Voice agents, vision pipelines, AI proposal generators, streaming chat — all built and in production. I know how each one is architected — the AI pipelines, the data flow, the decisions behind them — and what I haven't done yet, I pick up fast.
If you're hiring a designer-engineer
I design in
code.
I design by building. No handoff — just me, the code, and the browser. The particle field on the homepage, the forest walk at /forest, the motion on this page — all built the same way.
If you're hiring a founding engineer
I've built 19 products
solo. I ship fast.
Full-stack, paid in production, real users on the live ones. I can take a vague idea and ship it — I've done it 19 times. The loop is design → code → ship → watch → fix, and I handle all of it.

What people say
I don’t do marketing speak well, so I’ll let them talk.
Micah built the whole site — checkout, inventory, those certificate things with the QR codes. I sell bowls online now. Before this I was doing everything through Instagram DMs. The certificate of provenance thing? That's gotten me repeat buyers who want to know exactly which tree their bowl came from.

I needed a site that didn't look like every other landscaping company. Micah built it in a week. The quote request form actually works — I get leads straight to my phone. Already landed two jobs from it and it's been live a month.

Everything I've built
The full catalog.
Marketing sites, mobile apps, AI products, internal tools, client work. All shipped by me.
04 // process
My process. No surprises.
I’ve been burned by bad contracts. Here’s what I do instead.
We talk for 30 minutes
You tell me what you're trying to do. I ask questions until I understand the real problem — not just the feature list. No contracts signed yet. Just a conversation to see if we're a fit.
I send a one-page scope
Plain English. What I'm building, what it costs, how long it takes, and what I need from you. No 20-page proposals. If you want changes, we talk and I update it. One round of revisions, then we move.
Half up front, half on launch
50% to start, 50% when it's live. I don't do milestone invoicing — too much paperwork, not enough building. You get weekly updates via Loom video or Slack. No mystery, no 'check in next month.'
Build, review, ship
I work solo. No handoffs, no 'let me check with the team.' You see progress on a staging URL within the first week. We do one review cycle, I fix what needs fixing, then we push to production.
30 days of fixes included
After launch, anything that breaks because of how I built it — I fix it free. For 30 days. No support tickets, no tiers. Just text me and I handle it.
Investment
What It Actually Costs
No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Fixed-scope, fixed-price. If scope changes, we talk about it first.

Let's talk
Hiring a solo product developer?
I'm looking for remote-only roles where Claude Code is part of the workflow — full-time, long-term contract, or founding engineer. I work fast, I show my workflow, and I ship.
