I see problems.
I build solutions.
I'm Spencer Curnow, a psychology grad turned self-taught developer. I take a vision and ship it, using AI-augmented development to compress weeks of work into days. Most recently Sleeve, a social app for music fans now live on the App Store, plus ongoing design work for Yurr Magazine. If you have something you want built, I'd like to build it for you.

Not your typical developer.
I studied psychology at Boise State, earned a Music Production certificate, ran intramural sports for 1,900+ student participants, and currently lead PT aide operations at Prevail Physical Therapy in Shoreline.
I've always had ideas for tools I wished existed but didn't know how to code. When AI-assisted development clicked, everything else followed. Now I ship full-stack products in weeks, not months, combining a working knowledge of how people behave with the ability to actually build things.
Every project I've shipped started with a real problem I wanted to solve. Not a tutorial. Not a portfolio piece. A thing I needed, that I went and made.

How I work differently.
Three things that compound. Each one shapes how I pick what to build, how fast I build it, and whether it actually ships.
- 01
Psychology, before pixels.
A BS in Psychology means I identify why users struggle before I touch a line of code. Real empathy, not assumed personas.
- 02
AI as a thinking partner.
Claude Code accelerates the work without cutting corners. I move faster on the boring parts so I can spend more time on the interesting ones.
- 03
Ship, or it didn't happen.
Not prototypes. Not demos. Live products with Stripe payments, auth flows, actual users. If it isn't in production, it isn't done.
How I got here.
Two tracks running in parallel since 2024: shipping products on nights and weekends, and running customer-facing operations during the day. Both inform each other.

The toolkit.
Picked one tool at a time, each chosen for a real project, not a tutorial. Heavy on the React + Supabase + Cloudflare side; comfortable anywhere the stack is plain JavaScript and a good API.

Let's build something together.
Project work is the headline. Send me what you want built, we'll scope it and figure out payment in conversation. Full-time roles welcome too if the fit is right.
