BowlingAlleys.io — Find bowling alleys near you
Featured Case Study

A niche directory built in a weekend. 50+ daily visitors. Zero ad spend.

I spotted an SEO gap — people search for bowling alleys constantly, and the sites ranking were slow and thin. I built bowlingalleys.io in 72 hours: find-by-city, compare alleys, real info. No WordPress, no ads. Just fast static pages and solid structure. Google did the rest.

"I built it to prove the workflow — static HTML, clear information architecture, no fluff. It ranks, it converts, and it cost almost nothing to run."

Clean code.
Real results.

No retainers. No subscriptions. I build production-grade software using Cursor, React Native, TypeScript, Next.js, Firebase, and Vercel — and I hand you clean GitHub-hosted code you fully own. AI tools used where they actually help, not everywhere just to say so.

01

Web & Mobile Apps

React Native for iOS & Android. TypeScript, Next.js, Firebase, Vercel, Railway. From MVP to production-ready. I've built and scaled apps for Fortune 500 companies — your project gets that same architecture, not a tutorial stack.

02

AI-Native Sites & SEO Builds

Static HTML on Vercel. No WordPress, no monthly plugin fees. I use Cursor and LLMs where they move the needle — to ship faster without cutting corners. Proof: bowlingalleys.io, 50+ daily organic visitors with zero ad spend.

03

Fixing & Scaling Existing Apps

Notifications broken? Performance tanking? Migration stuck? I specialize in inheriting messy codebases and making them stable. Strong ownership, realistic estimates, proactive communication. No surprises.

Higareda

I'm an AI-native senior product engineer. I use Cursor, Replit, OpenClaw, and LLMs where they actually make sense — to move faster and reduce bugs, not to generate slop and call it shipped.

10+ years building and scaling apps for Fortune 500 companies and startups. High-stakes systems, tight timelines, existing codebases that need a steady hand.

Realistic estimates. Proactive communication. I don't just ship features — I solve problems. If you're building something that matters, that's the difference.

Top 1% Expert-Vetted on Upwork — $1M+ earned. Upwork manually verifies Expert-Vetted status. It's not just a badge — they check the work.

AI-native workflow — Cursor, Replit, OpenClaw. Used where they actually speed things up — not to generate garbage at scale.

"Gabe was incredible. He went above and beyond." Real client, real review. Great estimates, great communication, consistently high-quality work — also real.

Thinking out loud.

We Built a React Native Expandable Bottom Sheet and Open-Sourced It

Popular bottom sheets didn't give our client the control they needed. So we built react-native-expandable-bottom-sheet — gesture-driven, fully customizable, with an optional preview bar. Then we shipped it to npm for the community.

Cursor's Hidden Gems: Little-Known Features That Actually Move the Needle

Six months into using Cursor daily, I realized I'd been barely scratching the surface. Agent Skills, .cursorrules, Plan Mode, TDD with agents, hooks — here's what's actually worth knowing.

Let's build something
worth showing off.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time. If you need software that performs — not just looks good in a screenshot — hire me on Upwork and I'll tell you within 24 hours if I'm the right fit.
