About

I'm Jasper.

I've worked in software for nine years. In that time I've helped more than 20 founders launch apps and build internal tools.

I started as a data engineer. Then I quit my job to start a company: one app that let people run an online store from their kitchen table. I sold it. After that I led product at two Y Combinator startups.

My family's company made light bulbs. Now I build software for owner-run businesses like theirs. Catkin Labs is just me. Come to me with a half-formed idea, and we'll work out together what's worth building.

What I'll talk you out of

Digitizing records nobody will ever look at, for a start. Or a big data platform, when one well-organized database would do.

I'll also tell you if a job's too big for me, or if what you've asked for isn't what's costing you money.

Bring the job that takes too long, or a question you'd want AI to answer. There's no charge for the call.
