Quallaa
Founding Engineer

Technical Product Builder | 0-to-1 Specialist

I build complete products independently—from strategy and architecture to implementation and go-to-market.

About Me

I combine deep technical execution (TypeScript, Next.js, Swift, PostgreSQL) with product strategy and business acumen.

Most engineers can't do product strategy. Most strategists can't code. I do both, and I ship.

Recent work: Built Quallaa, an AI execution environment for domain experts, including full marketing operations platform (Next.js, Supabase, Resend), native iOS app (SwiftUI, Core Data), and custom IDE fork (Eclipse Theia platform). Solo developer, technical architect, and product strategist.

What I'm Looking For

I'm seeking founding engineer or technical product leadership roles where I can:

  • Build products from 0-to-1 (strategy through implementation)
  • Work with small teams (pre-seed to Series A preferred)
  • Shape technical direction and product roadmap
  • Solve complex problems at the intersection of product and engineering

Open to: Full-time founding engineer roles

Not interested in: Large company bureaucracy, narrow scope IC roles, pure frontend/backend positions

Why Work With Me

Speed

I shipped a complete marketing platform, mobile app, and custom IDE—solo. I move fast and ship complete features, not just code.

Range

I can discuss product strategy with founders in the morning and debug PostgreSQL performance in the afternoon.

Ownership

I don't need hand-holding. Give me a problem, I'll research solutions, make architectural decisions, implement, and iterate.

Communication

Technical writing background means I document as I build. Clear RFCs, architecture docs, and API documentation.
