04 — Founder

Hi, I'm Marno.
I build what I sell.

I founded Crosshair Labs in 2026 after designing, building and launching five AI products on my own. I work with Claude (Anthropic API and Claude Code), PostgreSQL, Python and TypeScript every day.

Before AI, I spent over ten years in sales, business development and marketing, from leading site teams to the sales floor. I met or beat my target every single month. I bring that same drive to every build: a clear target, real users and real business results, not just code.

"The best AI is the kind your team stops noticing, because the boring work just gets done."

Let's lck on.
