About Me
I’m Rasmus Edwards.
For the past 4 years, I worked as a software consultant in slow, complex enterprise codebases. I loved the problem-solving, but not the lack of ownership.
Now I’m building Solopreneur Liftoff, a product to help devs make the leap I’m making.
This newsletter is where I share everything I’m learning in public, and in real time.
