About Evan
Hey, I'm Evan.
I spent 5 years at Honeywell. Good salary. Clear career path. And every Sunday night, a quiet dread of Monday morning.
In 2025, I made a decision: I quit.
Not because I had it all figured out. I didn't. I quit because I believed — and still believe — that in the age of AI, the people who create will always have a place. The people who just execute? Less certain.
So I started building.
I'm learning to code. Building my own website. Selling digital products on Gumroad. Using AI as my co-founder, researcher, and editor. Some things work. A lot of things don't. I'm documenting all of it.
This site is that documentation.
If you're thinking about making a similar leap — or you're already on the path and want tools that actually work — you're in the right place.
What I'm building
- A digital product business (templates, toolkits, workflows)
- An independent website with real SEO
- A public record of the whole process
