Founder by instinct.
Developer by Proxy.

I don’t code. I delegate.

An entrepreneur disguised as a developer.

AI writes the code. I make the business decisions. Here is the division of labour, in full.

I think like a founder, build like an indie hacker, and delegate the coding to AI.

Signed, the human half of DevByProxy

Six rules I don’t delegate

  1. Solve real problems.

    Imaginary ones are cheaper to build and impossible to sell.

  2. Build for value.

    Practical or commercial, ideally both.

  3. Launch early.

    Feedback beats a roadmap written in a vacuum.

  4. Stay lean.

    Every extra feature pays rent forever.

  5. Keep judgment human.

    AI is the development team. Someone still has to be the boss.

  6. Stay unserious about me.

    Serious about the work, though.

What comes out the other end

Built for founders with an idea and mid-sized businesses that need something practical.

Websites
Pages that explain the thing and get the enquiry.
Small apps
Tools that do one job properly, without a forty-page spec.
Digital products
My own experiments. Some may even make money.
