The internal tool you keep saying you'll build.

You've got a backlog of internal things — a dashboard, an onboarding flow, an admin panel, that one integration — and every week they lose to whatever's on fire. Hiring a dev is a commitment you're not ready for. A freelancer is a gamble.

What I'd build

Internal tools and admin panels. Ops dashboards that pull your real numbers. Onboarding and approval flows. The integration you keep deferring. A quick prototype to test an idea before you spend headcount on it.
