Writing code for 30+ years to solve problems for me and others 😊

I’m Brad, founder of Coder B Dev, Inc. and currently shipping Billivio, a backend billing system that helps devs charge per-use instead of forcing subscriptions. I’m a long-time backend dev, mostly working in .NET, MySQL, and other fun things no one ever wants to demo in a pitch deck.

Billivio started as ā€œjust a helper libraryā€ for another app I was building… and then grew into a full product because every existing billing platform assumed I wanted monthly recurring revenue. I didn’t. I just wanted ā€œlet the user pay for the thing, use the thing, done.ā€

So now I’m here, shipping this thing, one API at a time. šŸ˜…

I’m based in Thailand but work on Chicago time (yeah, it’s weird), and I’m solo building this while holding down a full-time job. Been deep in Lovable Shipped the last few weeks and finally hit launch.

If you’re a dev building tools, or a VC who still believes in sustainable backend infra products — I’d love to connect.

Also: I still hate writing frontends. Just putting that out there.

(P.S. Yes, AI helped me write this. Don’t worry, I made sure to delete the part where it said I was ā€œrevolutionizing transactional monetization at scale.ā€ Calm down, Skynet.)
