Founder-engineer looking for full-stack / product engineering roles, full-time or contract-to-hire. I've run a production e-commerce platform since 2020 ($100k+/yr revenue, payments + webhooks, 99.9% uptime) and recently launched a programmatic directory (guidedhunts.io). Recent work sample: a SERP gap analyzer built on SerpApi in ~2 hours — live report at https://serp.guidedhunts.io, repo at https://github.com/MichaelPGifford/serp-gap-analyzer (offline demo mode, runs in 2 minutes without an API key). I ship fast, own systems end-to-end, and I'm comfortable talking to customers because I've had to sell what I build.
