here's a writeup I shared that might be of interest[0] it's mainly been product-led growth. I've always just been a guy that likes building cool things, and I spent most of the ear…

In 2021 I shared ProjectionLab on HN[0], and I've now spent half a decade making it better. It started as a simple financial simulator side project. In 2023, I quit my job to work …

It took me half a decade[0], but I finally landed the original vision for ProjectionLab. It started out as a personal finance simulator, and I always wanted to build an optimizatio…
