I build things I wish existed.
Apps, marketplaces, directories, learning tools, and experiments — built around problems worth solving.
01 / Work
Selected Work
A few things I’m building.
Grant Router
A grant-discovery and application-readiness product that helps people find relevant opportunities, understand fit, and organize what comes next.
View projectShujog
A solo-founder opportunity board for discovering grants, competitions, programs, and events that a founder can actually pursue.
View projectEveryday English for Immigrant Adults
A practical learning product built around real-life English scenarios, multilingual support, targeted intervention, retry, retrieval, and transfer.

Investor Interest
Interested in the portfolio, not just one product?
I’m building across several product categories — including faith-conscious products, founder and funding tools, education technology, marketplaces, directories, and operational systems.
If you invest in early-stage products and want to hear about future fundraising or strategic investment conversations across the portfolio, join the investor interest list.
This is an expression-of-interest list only. It is not an offer to sell securities, and submitting the form creates no investment commitment.
02 / What I Do
What I Do
QA
Test real user flows, edge cases, regressions, devices, data states, permissions, persistence, and release readiness.
Product
Define the problem, scope the MVP, map workflows, write requirements, prioritize, and manage readiness from idea through launch.
Build
Turn an agreed scope into a practical web app, mobile app, internal tool, workflow system, directory, or lightweight product.
Consult
Help solo founders shape an early idea, decide what to build first, choose a practical build path, and move toward a working release.
03 / Work With Me
Start with 10 minutes.
Tell me what you are building, testing, untangling, or trying to get out of your head and into a working product.
The first conversation is intentionally short. If there is a fit, we can move into QA testing, product management, a done-for-you build, or idea-to-ship guidance.
QA Testing
Hands-on testing across complete user flows, edge cases, regressions, devices, persistence, permissions, data integrity, and release-critical failures.
Product Management
Turn an unclear problem into a scoped product: define the user, MVP, requirements, workflows, priorities, acceptance criteria, and release gates.
Done-for-You Product Build
A focused web app, mobile app, internal tool, workflow system, directory, or lightweight product built from an agreed scope through testing and handoff.
Idea-to-Ship Guidance
DIY-friendly support for solo founders who want to build the product themselves but need help choosing the right first version, tools, workflow, and next steps.
How paid work starts
10-minute intro
Start with a short conversation about the problem, current stage, and the kind of help you need.
Scope in writing
If there is a fit, the work is defined clearly in writing: deliverables, boundaries, timing, and what is not included.
Secure payment
For paid work, a secure payment link is sent after scope is agreed. Work begins after the agreed payment or deposit is received.
No public packages or one-size-fits-all pricing. Paid work is scoped individually. Secure payment is handled after the scope is agreed.
Written-first and async-friendly: intake, shared documents, screenshots, recorded demonstrations when useful, and written progress updates.
04 / Writing
I can explain.
Notes on building products, learning as I go, meeting people, making mistakes, and figuring out what comes next.

About
I’m Farhana H., an independent product builder in New York. I work across product strategy, QA, implementation, and systems thinking, usually around problems that are messy, repetitive, under-served, or harder than they need to be.
My work spans consumer apps, directories, learning tools, operational systems, and AI-assisted products. I stay hands-on from early product definition through testing and launch readiness.
