Profile

Full-stack engineer with a bias toward shipping

I focus on production-grade SaaS platforms, end to end. Database architecture, pixel-perfect interfaces, payment integrations, real-time systems. I care about the whole product, not just my slice of it.

I've built mental health platforms for schools, AI-powered medical report tools, music promotion SaaS, automotive CRM systems serving 180+ dealers across 12 countries, and open-source developer tools. Every project ships with clean architecture, tested code, and measurable outcomes.

Currently leading teams and building at the intersection of full-stack engineering and AI integration. Open to working with companies, startups, and teams. Full-time, contract, or a focused freelance build.
