I build production-ready MVPs in 4-6 weeks for founders who want to launch fast without hiring a full team. Engagements typically land in the $50k-$100k range. More at andrewng.com.
I also take on focused engineering engagements across iOS, backend, and full-stack development. Based in Taipei, I work remotely with US time-zone overlap and travel to the US for the right short-term project, especially San Francisco and New York.
Previously cofounder and sole full-time iOS engineer at Priime (YC W15), and Principal Engineer at Healthi. I use AI coding agents extensively while owning architecture, reviewing implementation, and validating results.
Also building Lightmist Coffee, a specialty coffee business in Taipei.
I work across coffee, software, and small internet tools. 🍉
