Hello. Orbyt.
Orbyt is a platform. Jobs, Intelligence, and Orbyt One are live today. Pulse is next. One ecosystem, one human, built because the future of software isn't one app, it's one place that knows you.
Recognized at WWDC.
Early in my career, Apple recognized my work at WWDC. The products were Elements CRM and Gro CRM, built for macOS, iOS, and watchOS. They were demoed in Apple Stores across four countries: Chicago, the UK, China, and Japan. That moment shaped how I build. Since then I've led product, design, and engineering across AI-native platforms, including ones where the wrong decision costs lives, money, or both.

The short version.
I've spent the last decade building platforms where complexity disappears and clarity stays. $383M+ in enterprise value across fintech, tax technology, proptech, CRM, and ERP. $113M in funding secured for an AI-native tax platform I built from zero in five months. A $70M SEC-registered investment platform launched in nine months. Products featured in Apple Stores from Chicago to Tokyo.
I build. I lead. I've held CPO, CTO, CDO, and CMO titles at the same company because nobody else wanted to do all four and I couldn't stand watching them be done badly. I've led 30+ person teams and I've shipped entire products solo. Whatever the work needs, that's what I become.
I build Orbyt because every job search tool I tried was an insult to the people using them. Talented people, people who design systems and lead teams and solve impossible problems, reduced to spreadsheets and sticky notes. They deserved better. So I built it.
What I believe.
Details matter
I'll argue about 1px. I'll die on the hill of a color that's 5% too bright. Because the people using this thing deserve someone who cares that much.
AI should be invisible
The best AI doesn't announce itself. It anticipates. It surfaces what you need before you know you need it.
Software has a soul
Code is craft. Every interaction should feel intentional. If it doesn't spark something, it's not done.
Ship or shut up
Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything. I've shipped $383M in enterprise value because opinions without outcomes are just noise.
Access is craft
Building for everyone isn't an afterthought, it's the work. Orbyt ships to WCAG 2.1 AA from day one. Excluding people is a bug, not a feature.
What I've built.
Orbyt
CurrentAI-native job search CRM. Pipeline tracking, wellness coaching, interview prep, and real-time sync. Built because job searching shouldn't feel like a second job.
One person. 32 days. 355,000 lines.

Read the storyI build. Then I write about why.
Published research.
Open research, CC BY 4.0, peer-citable. Free to read, free to cite, free to build on.
And one decision made everything else possible.
Foundation.
Next.js. TypeScript. Tailwind. Supabase. Vercel. Claude Code.
The same stack Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Stripe ship on. I picked it because the agents that write production code today were trained on the corpus this stack dominates. The gap with everything else is wide enough to be the whole story.
Not Angular. Not Rails. Not the stack your CTO is comfortable with.
I have shipped on it across multiple AI-native companies. Orbyt is the latest. One person. One quarter. One AI.

Where shit gets done.
How it gets built.
Orbyt is built by one human and a fleet of AI agents. No traditional engineering team. No designers on payroll. No project managers. Just me, a clear vision, and the most capable AI tools ever created.
This is what AI-native software development actually looks like. Not AI-assisted. AI-native. The agents don't help me build. They build with me.
Justin Bartak
Founder. Product vision, design decisions, architecture, every pixel. The human in the loop.
Claude Code (Opus)
Primary engineering agent. Writes production code, refactors, debugs, ships features end to end. 260K+ lines and counting.
ChatGPT
Research, strategy, and content ideation. Thinks through problems differently than Claude. Two perspectives are better than one.
Next.js + React
The frontend foundation. Server components, App Router, ISR. Fast by default.
Tailwind CSS
Utility-first styling that moves as fast as I think. No context switching.
Supabase
Postgres, auth, realtime, storage. The entire backend in one platform.
Vercel
Edge deployment, instant previews, cron jobs. Ship to production in seconds.
Vitest + Playwright
4,123 unit tests and 102 E2E specs across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. The safety net that lets us ship fast without breaking things.
One person. Multiple AI agents. 355,000+ lines of code. 7,567 tests. 15 languages. 176 help articles. 65 blog posts. And counting.
