Now available for contract workI design and build web and mobile products for founders and small teams.
From the first product flow to a working release, I handle interface design and full-stack development.
Recently shipped Lucid Lock for iOS and pixelart.dev for the web.
pixelart.dev
An AI pixel art generator for game developers. You describe a character, a tileset, or a background, and it comes back rebuilt on a true pixel grid with a fixed palette, ready to drop into a game. I designed and built it end to end.

- From first prototype to live Stripe billing
- True pixel grid
- Every output rebuilt with a fixed palette
- End to end

Most projects start as one of these. If yours doesn't fit, tell me about it anyway.
Design and build an MVP
You have an idea and need a first version people can use. I take it from the core product flow to a working web or iOS release. Lucid Lock went from first screen to the App Store in six weeks.
Improve an existing product flow
Onboarding, checkout, or a core screen is losing people. I redesign the flow and ship the changes in your codebase, so the fix doesn't stall in a handoff.
Build a production website
A fast marketing site or web app front end, designed and developed by one person. You get a site that matches the design and is ready to launch.
Client work at Red Block Labs
At Red Block Labs, I work with designers and engineers to ship brand systems, product interfaces, and production websites for technology clients. I've contributed to more than 10 client projects, including two years as the frontend developer for Zero Authority.
What people I've worked with say
Ayden Springer is the kind of Full Stack Developer every team dreams of having. His dedication to the craft and consistent success in delivering exceptional digital products makes him a valuable asset.
If you need a Dev who talks with their keyboard instead of prolonging the Zoom call, Ayden will kick out your project faster than 90% of the over-confident 'code crafters' out there. Ayden gets it DONE.
Ayden is an amazingly talented developer. His contribution to the project Avalanche from The New Dev Order was crucial to completing the most difficult task that saw the team home. He is gonna be the best find for any Hiring Manager.
