Hey everyone — Armando here (agbexar), solo founder based out of Nevada. Glad to be in the room. Quick truth up front: I’m a truck driver. I’m also a complete novice when it comes to building software. Everything I’ve built so far has come from my own pain points on the road — and from partnering with Claude (Anthropic’s AI) to turn those pain points into real products. I’m building Giga-Sphere OS — a compliance and financial-ops platform for gig workers and the companies that work with them. The mantra I’m building around, for myself and every other 1099 contractor out there: Profit. Protect. Retire. First product is Giga-Books — a tax and expense tracker built specifically for 1099 folks (rideshare, delivery, trucking). I run the personal version in production every day. Every mile, every receipt, every edge case I hit on the road is teaching the public version what it needs to be before launch. In parallel, I’m heads-down building a dynamic, intuitive chatbot — stage one of a customizable fleet management platform. A trucking/expediting partner I drive with is in active conversations to be the first paying client. I’m here to learn from founders who’ve walked this road, and to share what I’ve figured out along the way. Gracias for having me.
