Meet the Founder

I'm Allan, founder of Leopard Data Inc. I started at Microsoft at 19 without a college degree and have spent the last two decades as a principal-level contractor writing software for some of the largest companies in the world. Now I'm building products of my own — and documenting the whole thing. In this series I'll cover: - The architecture decisions (and the ones I had to undo) - Pricing experiments and what actually moves the needle - Marketing as an engineer with zero audience - The unglamorous middle — testing, debugging, security scans, cash flow math - Honest numbers, honest mistakes No hype. No "I made $10K in a weekend." Just one engineer trying to trade contract work for product revenue, one shipped feature at a time. If you're an engineer thinking about starting your own product — or you're already deep in one — hit subscribe. Let's build. 🛠️ Grade My Investments (the product I'm building): https://grademyinvestments.com
