Visible Impact & Ambition

Every deploy reaches real guests this week. Lay rails for ML that can boost revenue 20%.

Radical Autonomy

Plan sprints, own deploys; no committees.
• Direct line to decision-makers → zero red tape
• Modern DX: Next.js & React (latest stable), Tailwind, Prisma/Drizzle, Vercel, optional AI copilots – building mostly server-rendered, edge-ready flows.
• Async-first, with structured weekly 1-on-1s to ensure you’re supported, not micromanaged.
• Unmatched Career Acceleration: Build an entire tech foundation from zero, making decisions that will define your trajectory and our company's success.

Your Daily Rhythm
• Morning: Check metrics, pick highest-impact task
• Day: Build → ship → measure
• Evening: 10-line WhatsApp update (done, next, blockers)
• Friday: Live demo of working software (no mock-ups)

Success Milestones
• Week 1: First feature in production
• Month 1: Automation that saves ≥10 h/week for ops
• Month 3: Core platform stable; conversion up, load times down (aiming for <1s LCP); ready for future ML pricing (stretch goal: +20% revenue within 12 months).

What You’ll Own
• Ship guest-facing features with Next.js (App Router / RSC / Server Actions).
• Automate ops—dashboards & LLM helpers that delete busy-work.
• Full lifecycle: idea → spec → code → deploy → measure → iterate.
• Set up CI/CD & observability on Vercel; a dedicated half-day refactor slot each sprint keeps tech-debt low.
• Optimise for outcomes—conversion, CWV, security, reliability; laying the groundwork for future capabilities in dynamic pricing and guest personalization.

Prototype > promise. Results > hours-in-chair.
