Hello fellow Bubblers! 
My name is Peyton, and I’m excited to reintroduce myself to the community. This is a new account, but I’ve been a part of the Bubble ecosystem for over 7 years, using Bubble to build everything from MVPs for venture-backed startups to fully-scalable apps that can handle tens of thousands of users at once. My experience spans across founding startups, product development, UX/UI design, and advanced Bubble development—and I’d love to help founders and businesses looking to build amazing products.
About Me
-
Founder with 2 Exits: I’ve co-founded two venture-backed startups, both of which were successfully acquired.
-
MORE Technologies: Developed a robotics and prototyping platform called MOREbot that was used for teaching robotics, coding, engineering, 3D printing, and more to K-12 students. Used Bubble to build our digital platform called MakerPlace—a portal for students to find project tutorials, document their work, and download and share 3D models. On the flipside, teachers were able to assign projects to students, manage submissions, grade work, and leave feedback directly in students’ engineering journals. Acquired by Sphero in 2021.
-
tokenproof: Pioneered real-world token-gating with our app that enabled users to gain access to token-based events, retail discounts, concerts, nightlife, and more based on their NFT/crypto holdings. Used Bubble to build the tokenproof Portal, our event management/ticketing web app for token-gated events (similar to Eventbrite). The app handled hundreds of thousands of users over 2 years and 20,000 users in a 15-minute period during our busiest ticket claim. In addition to the Portal, I used Bubble to build our event discovery app, custom token-gating apps for enterprise clients, and more. Acquired by Yuga Labs (creators of Bored Ape Yacht Club) in 2024.

Freelance Bubble Developer & Designer: With my experience as a founder, I understand the pressures of startup life—tight deadlines, complex user needs, quick bug fixes, and the importance of delivering MVPs that not only work, but impress users and investors. I’m currently wrapping up projects with two venture-backed startups and am looking for new opportunities to bring impactful ideas to life.
Why I’m Different
I’m not just a Bubble developer—I bring a founder’s mindset, knowing what it takes to build apps that raise venture funding, attract users, are easy to use, and scale. I believe my experience building platforms used by hundreds of thousands of users sets me apart from the average freelancer.
Here’s some of what I bring to the table:
- Advanced Bubble Development: From complex database architecture to manipulating complex API data to scaling for high traffic, I’ve pushed Bubble to its limits.
- API Integrations: Expert in integrating tools like Stripe, Shopify, Twilio, and more, with extensive experience with Stripe Connect and custom backend API workflows.
- Speed: I work very fast. Going from idea to prototype as fast as possible is what I enjoy.
- Clean and Organized Apps: I leave apps well organized and documented so they’re easy for businesses to manage after I’m gone.
- Custom UX/UI Design: Clean, modern interfaces tailored to your users, not apps that have that very obvious “this was built using Bubble” feel.
- End-to-End Product Expertise: From user journey mapping to final deployment, I can help guide decisions every step of the way.
Some Examples of My Work
Here’s a link to my portfolio site. It’s still partly under construction, but here are a few highlights:
-
tokenproof Portal: Built the MVPs for an event creation and ticketing platform, our event website, and more. All of which were used by the world’s top NFT brands (Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, World of Women, and many more). They required extensive API integrations, including Stripe Connect for marketplace payments, web3/crypto library integrations, custom plugins, and strict performance requirements to handle massive spikes in traffic.
-
Fast Food Order Pickup App: Currently finishing an app for a venture-backed startup piloting across fast-food restaurants nationwide. Currently listed as [Redacted] until I’m allowed to share more info.
-
Lux Markets SaaS Rebuild: Redesigned and rebuilt a SaaS app for CPG startups to manage sales data and customer outreach, integrating Shopify, Square, Stripe, HubSpot, and more. Currently building a robust dashboard with custom charts, JavaScript, and workflows and conditions optimized as much as possible for speed.
If you’d like more details, I can share examples specific to your project needs.
Recent Testimonial
“Peyton is by far the best full stack Bubble developer that I’ve ever worked with. He loves to design, build and ship quickly. As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve used both onshore and offshore development agencies, as well as multiple developers in house. Peyton can easily understand concepts while also thinking about smaller technical aspects of the development that a non-technical founder may not be thinking about. He also has a great eye for design, which is a massive cost saver as you don’t have to hire a designer. If you don’t hire Peyton, you’re going to be burning a lot of money with sub-optimal designers and developers, so why waste your time and your valuable capital? Hire Peyton.”

Why Now?
After my recent exit, I’ve taken time to relax and reflect a bit. Now that I’ve had a chance to breathe, I’m wanting to ease back into what I enjoy the most: getting my hands dirty helping startups and businesses solve big problems as fast and simple as possible. Bubble has been a cornerstone of my career, and I’m looking forward to contributing to this community while staying busy with new projects.
