About
Hi, I’m Paul, but everyone calls me Peery.
I spend my days at the intersection of three things: building software people actually use, creating content that makes hard things feel approachable, and investing in founders I’d want to work with.
They feed each other. Building keeps my opinions honest. Creating forces me to explain what I think I know. Investing shows me patterns across hundreds of teams, and those patterns make me a better builder.
This site is my home base: the work, the writing, and the easiest way to reach me. If something here resonates, say hi. I read everything.
Principles
How I work
Ship small, ship often
Momentum compounds. A rough thing in the world beats a perfect thing in a folder.
Taste is a skill
Good work comes from caring about details nobody asked you to care about.
Be useful in public
Share the process, not only the outcome. Someone is one step behind you.
Bet on people
Ideas change; character and speed don't. That's what I invest in.
