Hi, I’m Dennis.
I care about what
we learn by building.

I created LeanForward to help people build products with more certainty. For me, that starts with understanding the problem, making assumptions visible, and learning before committing to a solution.

Lean innovation gives us a way to do that: talk to people, test an idea, look at the evidence, and decide what comes next. AI can help us explore, prototype, and build along the way.

I want to make both approachable. Here, I share a process model and practical resources you can use in your own work. The aim is to help you ask better questions and take the next useful step.

If you’re exploring an idea, learning to build with AI, or looking for a clearer process, I’d like to hear from you.
