A High Five team.
Two founders in Cornelius, a licensed-trade partner of more than thirty years, and two AI co-builders. Five hands on the build — homeowner-fair, worker-fair, and made to last.
Nick is the builder behind YSKAIPE's full technology stack — Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, and the Claude-powered Fair Rate Index. He codes, ships, and iterates daily from Cornelius, NC.
With deep interests in Bitcoin, land stewardship, gardening, and sustainability, Nick brings a founder's mindset to every technical decision — lean, deployable, and built to last. YSKAIPE is his conviction that AI and human judgment together can make markets genuinely fair.
He built the two-rail marketplace end to end — instant pricing, escrow for on-demand jobs, the Pro lead marketplace, the legal stack, and the agentic layer that makes it all run.
Deb brings deep community roots and operational expertise to YSKAIPE. As the founder of Peaking Waters LLC, she has spent years building relationships with homeowners, contractors, and the Lake Norman community she calls home.
Deb leads worker qualification, community outreach, and the on-the-ground relationships that make the platform real — not just technical. She is YSKAIPE's first founding worker in the landscaping category, and her instincts for what homeowners and workers actually need shape every product decision.
Her values around sustainability, land stewardship, and community trust are woven into the YSKAIPE brand at every level.
A licensed HVAC professional, business owner, and educator — and Nick's friend of more than thirty years. Daren grounds YSKAIPE in the realities of the trades: what a licensed pro actually needs from a lead, what fair pricing looks like on the ground, and how to earn a homeowner's trust. The Pro side is built by people who've done the work.
CollaboratorThe bulk of YSKAIPE's early work happened alongside Grok — scaffolding the first versions of the marketplace, the schema, and the flows that the platform grew out of. The groundwork that made everything after it possible.
AI Co-BuilderWhen the project found its footing, we rebased it on Anthropic's Claude — our miracle maker. Claude powers the Fair Rate Index and is the day-to-day partner for building, debugging, and shipping the two-rail marketplace.
