Rob H.

Hello 👋 — I'm Rob. **I ask a lot of questions.** Not because I'm unsure — because assumptions kill projects. And not just on day one. Assumptions get invalidated constantly as a product evolves, so I keep asking. Tight feedback loops beat big upfront answers every time. I build web apps that ship. My default is SvelteKit (faster for 99% of projects), but I've shipped plenty of Next.js/React and will happily work in your existing stack without trying to convert you. **Here's how I'm different:** Most devs defend one framework. I focus on delivering low friction, high user satisfaction outcomes underpinned by data. I use LLMs to move fast, but I override them constantly because most AI is trained on average developer output. You get AI speed + human judgment. **What working with me looks like:** - I ask questions throughout the project, not just at the start. New information changes things. I'd rather adjust constantly than build the wrong thing perfectly. - Daily Loom videos or written updates — no disappearing acts - Tight feedback loops — we validate before we build too far - "Break stuff fast" (metaphorically) to find what users actually love - No perfectionism. Just working software your users want to use. **My goal for your project:** Simple, Lovable, Complete (SLC). Not perfect. Just done and loved. **Best fit for:** - MVPs that need to launch yesterday - Internal tools no one wants to maintain - Existing apps that feel over-engineered and slow - Greenfield projects where you want someone who picks the right tool, not their favorite **Core stack (primary → secondary):** - Frontend: SvelteKit (default), Next.js/React (when needed) - Backend: Node.js, Express, Fastify - Databases: Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL - Styling: Tailwind, Bootstrap - Real-time: SocketIO, REST, GraphQL - AI tools: v0, Replit, Lovable — I use them all, but I drive, they don't drive me **Also experienced with:** Astro, Remix, Feathers, SanityIO, Contentful, Shopify, WordPress, C#, Java, Linux **Past results:** Helped deliver ~$1M/year in services for my division. Killer client feedback available on my profile. Let's talk about what you're building. I'll probably have questions — and that's a good thing.
