How I started as a Frontend Developer and evolved into a full-time Technical Consultant, building the product and team that enabled Zidy to reach $50k MRR.
Zidy is a US-based AI-powered CRM and lead recovery platform specifically engineered for local brick-and-mortar businesses—from bike shops to medical spas.
By automating follow-ups via SMS and Voice, Zidy ensures no lead is left behind, significantly improving conversion rates for high-intent, appointment-based services. Today, the software commands a premium price point of $1,000/month per client.
When I joined Zidy, the company was at a critical crossroads. They had a product that solved a real problem, but the technical foundation was collapsing under its own weight.
The core systems were poorly built, leading to frequent downtime and slow response times that frustrated early adopters.
The development team lacked direction. Without a clear technical roadmap, execution was reactive rather than strategic.
The feature set was growing horizontally without depth, making it difficult to justify the premium $1k/mo price point.
I started at Zidy as a Frontend Developer at $5,000/month. As I began rebuilding the product architecture and solving core technical bottlenecks, my role quickly expanded.
Within months, I transitioned to a full-time Technical Consultant at $10,000/month, taking responsibility for building the technical team and defining the product roadmap.
I overhauled the frontend architecture using **Vue 3, TypeScript, and Pinia**, moving away from a brittle legacy structure to a modular, component-driven system.
I established **rigorous technical processes**, including standardized code reviews, automated testing, and a streamlined deployment pipeline that reduced bug reports by 70% within the first quarter.
As the product matured, I took charge of **recruiting and onboarding the technical team**. I brought in the talent necessary to maintain and expand the platform.
While the CEO focused on scaling revenue through marketing and ads, I ensured the **product engine was powerful enough to handle the growth** and deliver on the promise to 2,000+ businesses.
Sustainable growth is the only metric that matters in a startup environment.

"Building a scalable SaaS isn't just about the code; it's about building a product engine that handles growth as fast as the CEO can sell it."
