Ex-Apple, experienced Product Manager with Full-Stack team | 10 yrs turning napkin-ideas into shipped platforms When you hire a coder, you've just hired a taxi driver who can get you anywhere - just not where you want to go. You'll be patient at first. No, not that way, this way. Then 'We're going in the wrong direction' hours later. a huge bill. Get me out. About Me Hi, I’m Colm. For a decade I shaped products inside enterprise organizations globally including JP Morgan, Apple, IBM where definition of done and pixel-perfect execution aren’t buzzwords, they’re the standard. Today I bring that same discipline to founders and scale-ups who need an end-to-end builder—strategy ➜ design ➜ code ➜ launch—without the agency price tag. What I do best Rapid platform MVPs (web & mobile) using React/Next.js, Node, Postgres, Supabase, and AI-powered dev tooling for 3-5× faster cycles. Product discovery workshops: from fuzzy vision to signed-off user stories, acceptance criteria, and wireframes in 72 hours. Growth-ready architecture: test coverage, CI/CD, observability—so you’re pitch-deck-ready for the next funding round. Process (aka how we avoid surprises) Discovery sprint : align on problem, users, and success metrics. Requirements & Definition of Done sign-off: you approve a living PRD + mock-ups; only then does coding start. Transparent build: weekly demos, buried-risk surfacing, changelog in Notion. Launch & warranty: 14-day bug-fix SLA; option for on-going improvements at a discounted retainer. Why clients pick me over a cheaper dev I think like a PM, not just a coder—so you won’t pay twice to patch strategic misses. Enterprise-grade quality gates baked in: accessibility, performance budgets, security checks. . Typical budgets & timelines Landing page + waitlist app: $1-5 k, 1-2 weeks. Full-feature SaaS MVP (auth, billing, dashboards): $5-25 k, 4-6 weeks. Let’s talk Share your vision, any mock-ups (Figma, paper, or whiteboard pics welcome), and your hoped-for launch date. I’ll reply with a 24-hour feasibility assessment and a fixed-price proposal—no surprises, just shipped software.
