From firefighting bugs to building what matters
I'm Sean Robb. WorkHoodie is how I help startups and SMBs stop spinning their wheels and start shipping with Fortune 500 processes at startup speed.
Why Work With Me
I've Been There
You're about to hit a scaling wall you've never seen before.
I've navigated the chaos from 0 to millions of users. I know what breaks at 10x, 100x, and 1000x. You get someone who's seen the movie before and can help you skip the expensive mistakes.
Hands-On + Strategic
You need someone who actually ships code, not just PowerPoints.
I don't just advise, I ship code, review PRs, and fix architecture. But I also zoom out to make the hard strategic calls about tech stack, hiring, and roadmap. You get both the execution and the vision.
No BS Communication
Your engineers and your co-founder speak different languages.
Technical enough to earn your engineers' respect. Clear enough that your non-technical co-founder understands every decision. No jargon, no hand-waving. Just clarity.
