Businesses
TinyPilot ( 2020 - 2024 )
TinyPilot is a company I created after creating a hardware device that allows customers to control their computers remotely without installing any software. In four years, I grew the company to $1M/year in revenue and sold the business in 2024 for $598k.Zestful ( 2018 - 2020 )
Zestful is a paid API service that allows clients to parse recipe ingredients like "2 cups finely chopped red onions" into structured data like {"quantity":2.5, "unit":"cups", "preparationNotes":"finely chopped", ... }.
It has been in maintenance mode since 2020.
Is It Keto ( 2018 - 2024 )
Is It Keto allows provides a simple way for users to discover whether particular foods are compatible with the keto diet.
The site was in maintenance mode between 2020 and 2024, but it still earned a few hundred dollars per year in affiliate commissions.
I sold the site to fellow indie founder Rasul Kireev in 2024.
Portfolio Rebalancer ( 2020 )
Portfolio Rebalancer shows investors on what funds they need to buy and sell to achieve their target asset allocation. I built an MVP but couldn’t find any users interested in paying for it, so I shelved the project.WanderJest ( 2020 )
WanderJest was a site that allowed comedy fans to find live performances of comedy in their area. I started working on it two months before COVID, and then paused it when the pandemic hit.What Got Done ( 2019 )
What Got Done is a weekly task journaling site that lets users record their accomplishments and share them with teammates.
I worked on it for a few months to teach myself Vue.js, but I couldn’t find anyone interested in paying for it. I open-sourced the code, and I now work on it occasionally as a hobby project.
KetoHub ( 2017 )
KetoHub is an aggregator for keto recipes. It allows you to search recipes across different keto recipes and filter by meal type.
I built it without thinking of how to monetize it, and so it never made any money.
