Products I'm building.
The things I build for myself — betting on where software and AI are heading. For client work, see projects.
Client work pays the bills, but ventures are where I put my own thesis to the test. These are the products I fund, design, and ship on my own time — fintech and AI tools built to solve problems I actually have, and to learn where the next wave of software is going. Each one is a working bet on building leverage: software that keeps earning after it's built, not another task on a list.
As a full-stack engineer, building my own products keeps me sharp on the whole stack — from product strategy and UX to backend architecture, AI, and the DevOps that keeps it all running. That's the same end-to-end thinking I bring to every client project.

Products built with ownership beyond the launch.
My independent ventures are Local Rank at localrank.cc, Viikko Nro at viikkonro.fi, Weeknr.date at weeknr.date, Forge Nutrition at forgenutrition.net, and the browser extensions listed here. Each product has a focused purpose and a page explaining how to explore or use it.
Why independent product work matters
Owning a product makes the tradeoffs visible. Feature scope affects support, integrations introduce recurring costs, and a confusing interface creates work for both users and the builder. These considerations shape how I approach client platforms too.
How to explore the ventures
Use Local Rank for local search and AI visibility, Viikko Nro and Weeknr.date for European and Finnish week tools, Forge Nutrition for direct-to-consumer sports supplements, and the extension profiles for Chrome-based utilities. Each product website or profile provides current usage and availability information.
From an idea to a testable release
Start with a defined user and a recurring problem. Build the shortest workflow that gives that user a useful result. Before adding more features, examine usage, failure points, operating costs and the effort needed to keep the product running.
Questions about Independent Software Ventures & AI Products
How are ventures different from projects?
Ventures are products I develop independently. Projects cover client platforms and open-source work.
Can we discuss a new product idea?
Yes. Share the intended user, the problem, existing alternatives and what you want a first release to demonstrate.
