Edward Federbush
Full-Stack Product Engineer·Three Startups, Two Acquisitions
I've been building software products since 2001, from first engineering hire under founding CTO at GLG through co-founding two acquired startups. Recent work is AI-native SaaS: multi-model orchestration, agentic workflows, and complete products shipped from concept to production. The through-line: I build directly with the people using the product — from teams inside Fortune 500 companies to small field-service operators.
Founding engineer, senior product engineer, or forward-deployed / applied AI engineer — for teams that need one technical owner from concept through production, or a builder embedded with customers turning operational problems into deployed AI systems.
A mix of solo-built products, client work, and co-founded companies. Each links to details on the role, architecture, and implementation.
AI-Native Field-Service Automation Platform
ReadyServicePro
A multi-tenant SaaS platform for home-service companies — electricians, HVAC, plumbing, roofers — that runs the whole business, first contact to paid invoice: AI-enabled lead generation (web chat, voice AI phone answering, voicemail response), estimates and proposals, scheduling, an offline-capable technician field app, a branded customer portal, and Stripe payment rails with QuickBooks sync. An embedded AI assistant works with the same tools as the office manager — answering questions across leads, work, and invoicing, summarizing the pipeline, and flagging overdue invoices, missing parts, and scheduling conflicts.
Full project details →VintOps
An AI toolkit for vintage-fashion resellers — visual search, pricing intelligence, generated listings, and AI product photography — with a Chrome Extension that auto-fills listing forms on Poshmark, Depop, Vinted, and others.
A2SaaS
A free, open-source SaaS starter kit (npx create-a2saas) with auth, payments, database, and email fully wired plus an optional, deletable AI layer — and a premium Insights Dashboard that answers plain-language questions about business metrics with live, inline visualizations.
A collection of marketing sites for client projects and a few of my own products — grouped here because I'm often asked about this type of work, and I genuinely enjoy it.
Capital One
Hired to lead discovery and prototyping for a co-brand credit product targeting e-commerce merchants. The engagement expanded into designing the enterprise SaaS platform that would house credit and other financial products — research, competitive analysis, prototype iteration, and handoff to internal engineering.
Docurated · Acquired by Quark Software
Co-founded a SaaS platform that helped enterprise sales teams organize, share, and track content performance. Owned the full product lifecycle — research, design, and front-end engineering — from founding through acquisition by Quark Software. Partnered directly with Fortune 500 clients including Netflix, J.P. Morgan, and IBM on custom implementations.
Founded and built the secure screening platform used by 6,000+ Academy members for Oscar voting and 100,000+ SAG members for SAG Awards voting, plus studio screenings at Sundance and Cannes. Integrated with existing member authentication systems, implemented access-controlled streaming for pre-release films, and white-labeled the platform for studio and distributor use.
