Shipping Jobtoss

Jobtoss is live on the Chrome Web Store. I'm refining the agent loop, watching the early sign-up traces, and onboarding the first wave of users one conversation at a time.

How I work

Principles behind the work

Ship before perfect

A draft in the world beats a masterpiece in a private folder. Shipping is the first move in every feedback loop that compounds.

Operate cross-stack

Code, copy, and outbound are the same job in three uniforms. I write the page, run the ads, and pitch the press because that's where the leverage lives.

Use AI as leverage

AI doesn't replace judgment — it amplifies it. I use agentic workflows to do the work of a team without one. The target is always: more output, same cognitive load.

Numbers over adjectives

7:1 ROAS, 80% response rate, 100% placement. The numbers aren't decoration; they're the proof the system worked. I only make claims I can back with data.

Build systems, not tasks

A task done once is a task. A task done once and systematized is an asset. Every workflow I build is designed to run, repeat, and scale without me.

Move toward hard problems

The interesting opportunities are the ones that look intractable until they're shipped. Jobtoss, MosarcAI, 70K leads solo — none of them looked tractable from the outside.

About

Multi-venture founder, operator, builder.

I founded three companies before 23. I built the AI workflows, designed the websites, ran the paid ads, and pitched the press that sold what I shipped. Three ventures. $72K+ in combined revenue. 70,000+ leads in four months. A 100% press placement rate at East River PR. A Chrome extension live on the Web Store, running on the Claude Agent SDK. I move across the stack until the thing ships, then I write down what worked so I can do it again.
