Replaced by AI. I guess I'm an Indie Hacker now.
My most tech-savvy client chose AI over me. A year later, AI does most of my client work, and we finally have a product of our own.
Building AI-powered software for small businesses.
Most small businesses don't need another SaaS subscription. They need one well-built internal tool. AI changes what one well-built tool can do. That's what we build at FVC Solutions. Custom internal tools, document intelligence, customer-facing AI, and more.
Currently focused on getting higher quality code out of agents through custom instructions and workflows.

Vertical slices, not better prompts
What I learned running hundreds of Claude Code tasks overnight, breaking everything, and why vertical integration tests got me further.
Projects
- PipeBrain active dev
PipeBrain is a work ledger for software built with AI agents. Requirements, issues, acceptance criteria and decisions all live in one place. Agents connect over MCP to see what to build, why it matters, and how “done” is judged, then report back to that same place. It's the human gate to agentic work
- DownBad downbad.app
24/7 uptime monitoring with more useful features, $50/year flat. Not per-monitor. Not per-site. Built because we wanted better monitoring for our own stuff. Monitoring shouldn't cost more than the hosting it monitors
