hi 👋 I'm JP Boily

I'm a developer who's been building stuff on the web for over 20 years, mostly with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript.

Back in 2013, I started a local tech meetup called Saglac IO. It's still going strong and even grew into a conference, which is pretty cool.

One of my bigger projects was Metrics Watch, a platform that helps marketers wrangle their reporting. I built it from scratch and sold it in 2024 - you can hear the whole story on Founder Quest if you're curious.

I also created Fourchette, which kicked off the whole "review apps" thing before it was cool. "Proof"!

Outside of work, you'll find me playing video games, getting destroyed at board games, or catching live shows. Music is my jam.

I'm big on building connections and community - it's what makes this industry worth being in.

These days, I help other SaaS companies figure their stuff out as a consultant.

I've spoken at some conferences over the years about remote teams, startup life, and tech stuff. Always happy to share what I've learned (and my many mistakes along the way).
