PRODUCT-MINDED DEVELOPER

Development changed.
So did I.

Fullstack developer with product thinkingBuilding products, not just writing code

The old model (PM designs, developer codes) no longer works. AI accelerated development dramatically, but created a new problem: teams need people who understand both what to build and how.

I combine both skills. 7 years in development, 5 in Solidity and web3. Worked in startups where there's no luxury of separating roles. Took product management courses. Won Ethereum hackathons.

Latest project: basepaint.market. I noticed BasePaint collectors had nowhere to sell complete year collections (365 NFTs). OpenSea and Blur don't support atomic bundle trades. I designed the solution, wrote the smart contract, backend, frontend, conducted an audit, launched to mainnet. Solo.

WHY PRODUCT-MINDED?

Questions I Get Asked

"AI can code now. Why hire a developer?"

AI generates code, but doesn't understand context. Who verifies the smart contract has no reentrancy vulnerabilities? Who chooses the right pattern (escrow vs approval-based)? Who writes 2,342 tests including fuzz tests for edge cases?

AI is a tool. You need someone who knows what to check and why.

"Why not hire a PM and developer separately?"

In a startup, there's no time for the PM → Designer → Developer → QA chain. When one person sees the user's problem and solves it themselves, the cycle shrinks from weeks to days.

Example from BasePaint Market:

Collectors didn't know the real value of their sets on the secondary market. Instead of creating a ticket and waiting, I built an Analytics Dashboard in a day: daily floor price on OpenSea, day rarity scores, number of complete set holders, and missing NFTs that can't be purchased. The feature strengthened the core product and gave users the data they needed.

"What does 'product thinking' actually mean?"

It's the ability to see a user's problem and find a solution through the product, not just write code to a spec.

Example:

On OpenSea/Blur you can't sell 365 NFTs in one transaction. Why? No atomic bundle transfers. Solution: a smart contract with approval-based listings (not escrow: less gas, safer). Result: the first specialized marketplace for BasePaint collections.

"Isn't this just vibe coding?"

Not quite. Vibe coding means fully delegating to AI without understanding what's being built. My approach is different: I architect the system, define constraints, review every decision. AI accelerates execution, but direction comes from 7 years of experience.

The result is faster delivery with higher quality than a traditional team, not despite the human involvement, but because of it.
