Nick Stricker · The Shifu BuilderI'm an engineer who also sells. I find what's tangled in your tech, draw it on one page, and fix it, so your product is easy to build, easy to show, and easy to buy.
Hi, I'm Nick 👋 Full-stack engineer, 2,500 cold calls, and live demos for big companies.Most growing software teams don't have a code problem. They have a clarity problem. Here's what that looks like.
sound familiar?
You're paying to bring shoppers in. Every slow page and long form sends some of them away. Here's what that looks like.

Every engagement starts the same way: we draw it out. When you can see the whole thing, the fix gets obvious.
You show me your app or store, and where you think it hurts.
I map it in Excalidraw and circle every slow spot, extra part, and lost sale.
You get a clear plan, plus a call where we walk through it together.
Start with a Blueprint. Then keep me on your team, or have me build the fixes for you.
In 48 hours you'll see what's slowing you down, what's costing you sales, and exactly what to fix first.
If your problems aren't crystal clear within 24 hours of delivery, you get a full refund. No questions asked.
I join your team a few hours a week. I help your engineers build the simple version, and help your sales team explain it so buyers say yes.
Skip the to-do list. I build, test, and ship the fixes from your Blueprint, from a faster checkout to a full rebuild on Next.js and AWS.
more shoppers finished checkout
fewer "this is broken" tickets
from kickoff to your finished Blueprint
Here's what was broken, what I built, and what changed.

See the live siteI'm not just an engineer, and I'm not just a salesperson. I'm both, and I train like it.
It wasn't a giant custom engine. I took a free Unreal Engine shooter template and turned it into a simple escape room puzzle.
My friends played it for hours.
Most software is built too big, too soon. I look for the simple version that works, and I build that.
→ simple wins. every time.
The first time someone cussed me out on a call, I wanted to throw my phone. By call 2,500, I knew it was never personal.
Once, a big client said I was rushing a live demo and tried to hang up. I took a breath, asked what problem they wanted to solve, and drew it on a whiteboard. The call turned around.
→ a "no" is just data.
When I wanted to get better at golf, I took a wedge to my parents' backyard every lunch and hit 50 careful swings. One fix at a time: wrist, hips, tempo.
I build software and sales skills the same way. Small, focused reps, every single day.
→ mastery is just good reps, stacked.
I'm a full-stack engineer who learned to sell. 6 years of building apps and stores, 2,500 cold calls, and live demos for big companies. I make tech simple, so it's easy to build and easy to buy. I share every lesson on YouTube as I go.
