I build products that solve real problems, then ship them.
I'm Griffin Terry, the solo founder of Hirely. I work across the whole process, from spotting a problem to scoping the product, building it, and getting it in front of users. This is what I've shipped.
About me
Founder-minded, product-obsessed.
I'm the solo founder of Hirely and a cum laude CU Boulder graduate (B.A. in Political Science & Economics, minor in Business). I build products end-to-end. I architected and shipped Hirely's full-stack MVP on Supabase, Stripe, and Vercel, and I ran its growth across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
I gravitate toward the messy middle of product work, where a vague problem has to be turned into something users actually need. That instinct runs through everything here, from validating CoPilot's market with 100+ customer interviews to automating Hirely's distribution with AI agents. What I care about most is honesty in the product, building things that genuinely work for people.
I'm open to roles across my areas of experience.

Products I've built.
Each one is framed around the problem, my role, what I shipped, and the outcome.
Hirely
A live tool that tailors your real resume to a specific job, without inventing experience, so qualified candidates actually get seen. I built the full-stack MVP and run growth, and it's now in early beta with 100% scan-feature activation.
