When I Was Rejected as a Junior, I Built a SaaS in 27 Days

Ever been passed over for a Junior role despite 10 years of experience?

That was me. Armed with $100 for a domain and a ChatGPT subscription, I decided to build Email-Forge—a live SaaS tool that generates email lists from CSV files—from scratch in just 27 days.

In this post you’ll learn:

  • How I used Java & Spring Boot to power the backend
  • Why ChatGPT became my development partner
  • My AWS + Docker deployment and CI/CD pipeline
  • Real-world pitfalls I hit and how I fixed them

👉 Check out the live demo of Email-Forge and let me know what you think!
