Key Outcome
"Built and launched an app with $5k MRR"
James was a 'product person' who couldn't code. He had the vision for a niche productivity tool but was stuck in the wireframe phase. Albert helped him bridge the gap by creating a 'Founder's Engineering' roadmap.
Instead of learning abstract theory, James learned exactly what he needed to build his MVP: Firebase for the database, Next.js for the frontend, and Stripe for billing. Albert served as his CTO, reviewing his logic and helping him debug deployment issues in real-time. Three months after launch, James hit his $5k MRR goal with a product he built entirely on his own.
