I'm Gabriel, a mid-level full-stack software engineer with experience in engineering management but have pivoted my career back into IC track, which I discovered to be more enjoyable to me than managing teams.

Prior to doing engineering management, I was a Ruby on Rails and React full-stack software engineer. I helped build telephony (auto dials phone numbers in the browser) and chat based rails + react apps.

My passion lies mostly in scraping and crawling tech and working with data at scale. I was laid off 3 months ago and have been working on my side projects (a database of AI products which I'm trying to sell to VC firms/anyone who would need data to track where AI is headed towards)

I'm looking for a product-driven company that's focused on solving hard problems with a culture that encourages that.

This is brilliant! I still see many cafes and restaurants here in Singapore using physical menus. It scares me into thinking a previous occupant might have had some flu or virus. And I might be contracting that next just because we're sharing a dirty menu (that's often not sanitized AFAIK)

More restaurants need to know of this QR Menu Creator!!

I'm a pro subscriber myself. Highly recommend giving this a look. It's the best damn report out there on upcoming trends, put together every week through dozens of hours of sweat and toil and love.

This is so much better than the default Mac OS X screen capture tool. It would be nice if Apple bought over Cleanshot and made it the default defacto screen capture tool.

Thanks for your kind words Dru! This coming issue, which I’ll release on Friday 2pm covers how another maker who built landingfolio.com used some life hacks to increase the amount of money he makes from complementary products.

Also, upcoming ones in the pipeline include historysearch.com, treendly.com. They’re all successful makers with decent profits.

Thanks Phil! There’s indeed a lot of badass French Engineers out there!

Wow, I didn’t know Algolia was a French company. When you mentioned Algolia in your comment, I was wondering why you said so. Gave it a quick google and got on their Bloomberg profile. Interesting. They’re one of my favourite startups in the world.

Thanks for your kind words!
