The Full Portfolio
The complete picture — every system, every metric
10 production systems in 116 days — one operator, $65,054 total build cost, $795K–$2.9M replacement value.
The Situation
In October 2024, the operator left W-2 employment. Prior software engineering experience: zero. Over 116 calendar days of CEM execution, the operator shipped 10 production systems spanning 7 verticals and 2 geographies.
What This Demonstrates
Solo operator viability at institutional scale.
596,903 LOC across 10 systems — infrastructure that would traditionally require a funded engineering team.
Compounding is measurable.
4.6 → 61.5 commits/day, 70% → 7% dependency, $7,995 → $0 sweep cost.
Quality and speed are not tradeoffs.
12.1% bug rate held across the portfolio while velocity increased 4.6×.
