Background

Built from trades, engineering, and software

Steve moved from carpentry into civil engineering, then into software engineering roles delivering production systems for real businesses. Today he ships and operates live products through Wahlu Labs.

The operating style is practical and direct: solve the bottleneck, make sensible trade-offs, and ship software people actually use.

How I work

Straightforward process

Keep it simple, get it moving, improve it from there.

01

Understand bottlenecks

Find the part of the workflow that keeps costing time.

02

Design the right system

Keep the scope tight and solve the actual problem.

03

Ship fast

Get something real in front of people quickly.

04

Iterate from usage

Improve it once real usage makes the next step obvious.
