I’m currently scaling HexPickr, a modern color extractor for the OKLCH/Tailwind era. My process is 99% AI-augmented—leveraging Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity to bridge the gap between design and production code.

The Pipeline:

🚀 HexPickr (Live) - Extract Tailwind/OKLCH palettes from images.

🛠️ SpicyAlgo (In Dev) - Trading bot. Oh yes, I am also a trader...

My Stack: Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Prisma + PostgreSQL (Neon).

I believe the future of SaaS is being built by solo 'Vibe Coders' who can prompt their way from idea to $10k MRR. Let's connect
