Hi, it's

I'm a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience taking web and SaaS products from concept to production.

I work across the entire product lifecycle — from understanding requirements and shaping solutions to system design, full-stack development, deployment, and production operations. I've built multi-tenant platforms, internal business systems, mobile applications, and AI-assisted workflows for real-world businesses.

My approach is simple: understand the problem, design the right solution, build it well, and take responsibility for getting it into production.

How I Engineer Products

Frontend & Product Interfaces

I build interfaces around the workflows they need to support — from straightforward business applications to complex, data-heavy platforms. I focus on clear interaction patterns, reusable systems, and interfaces that remain maintainable as products grow.

Tech:

TypeScript,

React,

Next.js,

React Native,

Tailwind CSS,

Figma

Backend & System Architecture

I design and build the systems behind products, including APIs, business logic, data models, authentication, and multi-tenant architectures. I aim for pragmatic architectures that support current requirements without creating unnecessary complexity.

Tech:

Node.js,

Express.js,

PostgreSQL,

MongoDB,

REST APIs,

GraphQL

Cloud, DevOps & Production

I take ownership beyond application code. I've designed deployment workflows, managed cloud infrastructure, containerized applications, and handled the operational work required to keep products running reliably in production.

Tech:

AWS,

Docker,

Vercel,

CI/CD,

Git

AI & Workflow Engineering

I build AI-assisted features and workflows where they provide practical value, including LLM integrations, retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, and workflow automation.

Tech:

LLM APIs,

RAG,

Vector Search,

AI Workflows

Let's Talk

I'm interested in building useful products, solving complex engineering problems, and working with teams that value ownership and pragmatic engineering.

I'm open to full-time opportunities, contract work, and carefully selected projects where I can contribute beyond implementation and help take a product from idea to production.

Let's build something useful.
