Stay-At-Home Dad · Developer · Dallas, TX
Code between the chaos.
I'm a father, remote software consultant, and indie builder shipping real projects on impractical schedules. SAHD.dev is the journal. Build series, dev notes, and the occasional 5 AM essay.
Why I'm building a SignupGenius killer
The problem with SignupGenius. Why a developer would bother competing. The vision for Signuppity, and how I'm scoping the MVP between a real job and a six-year-old.

A Saturday that included a tap recital, a Tailwind refactor, and the realization that both require practice and rhythm.
The 5 AM commit
How I ship code before my kid wakes up. The daily routine. When the work actually happens. Why the constraints are the feature, not the bug.

Cloudflare D1 migrations without tears
Three months of running D1 in production. What I do for migrations, and the script I run before every deploy.
The build · in progress
Signuppity
A SignupGenius killer, built in public.
The flagship build-in-public series. A real SaaS, built in the open, from first commit to first customer. Every architectural decision, every AI prompt that helped or didn't, every "I have no idea what I'm doing" moment — on the record.
