Drew Bredvick

Hey there 👋

My name is Drew – I'm a Software Engineer at ▲Vercel.

I've shipped tons of products and write about how I use Next.js to build side projects & startups.

I write a newsletter that goes out every other week focused on the intersection of web dev & bootstrapping.

I'm on a journey to replicate full time salary over the next 1,000 days by bootstrapping products (read more).
