eBay Live ApplicationApplication — AI-Native Product Builder
I'm a zero-to-one builder with a founding team mentality — I ship rapid prototypes, design agentic workflows, and turn ideas into working products in days, not months.
Matthew Schapiro
Product BuilderWhy I'm a Fit
I ship zero-to-one experiences.
At eBay Live, speed is survival. I build with that mindset: prototype at the edge of possibility, release to real users, and iterate on feedback. I'm comfortable with uncertainty, high agency, and moving fast.
Identify high-leverage problems
See what moves the needle for buyers and sellers
I start by finding the real friction points—where friction costs trust, where friction kills engagement, where friction bleeds revenue. Not every feature matters; I find the ones that move core metrics.
Prototype at speed
Ship working ideas in 24-48 hours
I use v0, Vercel, Supabase, and AI-native tools to go from concept to live experiment fast. No design waterfall. No waiting for approvals. Show the work, learn from reality, iterate.
Build agentic workflows
Tools that work for both buyers and sellers
I design systems where AI agents and humans collaborate toward real outcomes. APIs that ship, bots that think, interfaces that don't lie. Workflows that close loops without handoff overhead.
Maintain founder tempo
Ship, learn, iterate—no cruft, no excuses
Startup momentum isn't about working harder—it's about ruthless prioritization, shipping real features, and moving fast enough to stay ahead of the market. I move with that pace.
How I Got Here
Building toward founding team speed
I've spent a decade building the skills that let me ship fast: product sense from founding a company, technical depth from full-stack work, and operational discipline from scaling teams. Every role was preparation for this moment.

Early Web Builder
Websites, positioning, tracking, execution
I started as a hands-on digital builder - creating websites, shaping messaging, setting up analytics, and executing across paid media and optimization. I was operating like a one-person agency: I didn't wait for approvals, I shipped fast and learned from outcomes.
Self-taught from the ground up — building, measuring, iterating. The founder mindset started here.
