STRIPE CONNECT | STRIPE BILLING | STRIPE RADAR | STRIPE API | STRIPE CHECKOUT | STRIPE TERMINAL | FINTECH | SAAS | AI | PAYMENTS | COMPLIANCE (PCI DSS, GDPR) If Stripe is slowing down your product, breaking your billing logic, or causing failed payments you can’t explain, I can fix that. I’ve delivered 100+ Stripe integrations for SaaS and tech companies, and I’m a 4× Stripe Certified professional. You’re not getting a basic integration, you’re getting a payments system designed to reduce churn, recover revenue, and scale with your growth. I specialize in building Stripe systems that directly impact metrics like churn, AOV (Average Order Value), LTV, and checkout conversion rates. I don’t just plug APIs. I step into your architecture and make sure your billing, subscriptions, and payment flows are optimized end-to-end. I can help if you’re dealing with: 🔹 High checkout abandonment rates 🔹 Unexpected churn from failed payments or poor retry logic 🔹 Broken or confusing subscription upgrades/downgrades 🔹 Low AOV due to poor pricing or payment flow design 🔹 Inconsistent or unreliable webhook handling 🔹 Stripe setups that “work” but don’t scale What I can help you with: 🔹 End-to-end Stripe integration for SaaS platforms 🔹 Subscription architecture (plans, trials, proration, lifecycle logic) 🔹 Reducing churn with smarter retry logic and dunning strategies 🔹 Checkout optimization to improve conversion rates 🔹 Webhook architecture (reliable, scalable, no missed events) 🔹 Stripe account audits with revenue-focused insights 🔹 Advanced Stripe products (Connect, Sigma, custom workflows) If you already have developers, I can work directly with them or guide them through the correct architecture in live sessions. Most Stripe implementations leave money on the table. I help you close those gaps so your payments system actually drives revenue, not just processes it. If you want to improve conversion, reduce churn, or fix hidden issues in your Stripe setup, send me a message and let’s take a look.

Bolt, Lovable, Cursor, and Claude Code get you 70% of the way there. The last 30% is where I live. I finish and harden AI-built apps, and I build production AI from scratch. If your app demos well but falls apart once live users hit it, saves that don't stick, a data model that buckles at scale, security holes you can't see, that is what I fix. I also build the AI itself: phone and voice agents that book appointments, agentic workflows, and full Supabase and Stripe backends. I know where these tools break because I clean it up for a living. One Lovable app owner described it as "fix one thing and five break." That traces straight to the generated backend, the data model and the save logic, not the features. Solidify that and the cascading bugs stop. Recent work: • AI phone receptionist for a service business. It answers and texts customers in the owner's voice, books appointments, and writes them straight into their Jobber CRM: client, job, and visit created automatically, nothing re-keyed in the morning. I also got the texting cleared through carrier registration (A2P 10DLC), the step that stops most people because it is an external carrier review, not a code toggle. Built on Twilio, a voice agent, and a knowledge base of the owner's own playbook. • Hardened a Lovable-built online store for live money and launched it. Before real payments, I made pricing server-authoritative so the browser can't set its own price, closed an open redirect, stopped shipping and discount abuse, and made order fulfillment idempotent so nothing double-charges or double-ships. It is live and taking orders. • Took a Lovable-built MVP to production: a creator marketplace that generated 150M TikTok views and paid out $15,000 to 200+ creators. Stripe Connect plus PayPal payouts, TikTok API, multi-tenant row-level security. Client: "Andrew got my MVP over the line and helped bring my vision to life." • Overhauled a production voice agent for a hospitality venue handling live booking calls, then built one source of truth so non-technical staff edit a single page and both the text bot and the voice agent update from it. • Audited a Supabase app and found 14 significant bugs, including booking records any logged-in user could read and missing security rules. Every finding came with the specific fix and why it matters. • Stabilized that Lovable carousel app whose saves were unreliable. From the live database I found 58% of saved carousels were on a broken save path: a missing stable id that wrote a duplicate instead of updating, so edits looked like they reverted. I fixed the save path, backfilled ids across every user's records, and closed the security-advisor findings. Client: "overall seems to be working nicely." How I work: • Fixed price per milestone. You know the cost up front, there is no open meter, and you only move to the next piece once the current one is done and working. • I use Claude Code and Cursor to ship 2-3x faster, and I verify everything the AI touches. • Straight about tradeoffs and limits up front, especially on security work. • I explain technical decisions in plain English. Most of my clients are not developers. Stack: Supabase (Postgres, RLS, Auth, Edge Functions, Vector/RAG), Stripe (Connect, Subscriptions, webhooks), React, Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, Node.js, voice agents (ElevenLabs, Retell), Twilio, OpenAI and Claude APIs, n8n, Vercel. Background: 10 years full-stack across health tech, edtech, and fintech. Taught two web development bootcamps. Top Rated, 100% Job Success, $60K+ earned. If you built something with AI and it is almost there, send me a message. I will tell you straight what it needs, and what it does not.

I build SaaS platforms that handle real users, real payments, and real AI features, not demos. I'm a Full-Stack Developer with 6+ years of experience shipping production web and mobile applications, specializing in SaaS platforms, AI-powered tools, and Stripe integrated systems. My core stack is React/Next.js, Node.js, and Python, backed by PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Supabase depending on the project. What I've shipped recently: Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with subscription billing and AI integrations (Claude/OpenAI) E-commerce and marketplace platforms with Stripe payments React Native mobile apps published to both App Store and Play Store Automation systems connecting CRMs, payment processors, and third-party APIs I work with a small team senior developers, a QA engineer, and a project manager, so delivery stays structured even on larger builds. If you need someone who can take a product from architecture to production and actually own the outcome, let's talk about what you're building.

If your app is broken, behind schedule, or stuck with bugs you can't diagnose, I can help. I specialize in taking AI-built and half-finished apps the last mile: fixing, hardening, auditing, and shipping them to production. I've been building production software for 35+ years, including a decade as CTO and then Chief Product Officer at a fintech platform, where transaction correctness, data isolation, and security were non-negotiable. I still sit in that seat today as a fractional CTO for founders, guiding teams from idea through MVP launch. I've led architecture, run engineering teams, and shipped systems that had to hold up under real operational stakes. I build with AI tooling every day, including Claude and the Anthropic API, and I run my own business operations on an automated AI-agent pipeline I built. That's why my delivery timelines run ahead of standard estimates, and why I know exactly where AI-generated codebases skip guardrails and where they hold up. My recent production work centers on React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres, Auth, RLS), Node.js, and Stripe. Recent engagements include pre-launch SaaS architecture audits, Supabase RLS and API security reviews, rescuing AI-generated MVPs (Lovable, v0, and similar) into production, and LLM feature integrations. Common engagements: - Pre-launch architecture and security audits, with a written findings and remediation report (Supabase RLS is a specialty) - Stabilizing and finishing AI-built or half-built MVPs - API integrations that fail, timeout, or return incorrect data - Auth, webhooks, and data sync issues - React rendering, state, and performance problems - Node.js / Express backend errors and crashes - LLM features: chat, scoring, extraction, and agent workflows I also work with Web3 systems when a project calls for it, including Ethereum and Solana smart contracts, token integrations, and wallet-based workflows. I'm available for short-term fixes, audits, and ongoing support. If you're not sure what you need yet, start with an audit: you'll get a written findings and remediation report you can act on with or without me.

I help founders and businesses build, fix and launch mobile apps, SaaS platforms and web applications. A lot of my work involves taking over existing projects, improving unstable apps, cleaning up prototypes, and getting products ready for real users. I am comfortable working with non-technical founders, small businesses and teams that need clear communication, practical advice and reliable delivery. My background is a mix of software, payments and real business operations. I founded and developed Festival Currency, a live transaction platform used at events and festivals that processed over $30M in payments across mobile devices, QR workflows, RFID systems and unreliable network environments. I also spent nearly 30 years running a major technology retail store in Australia, managing 40+ staff and dealing with tens of thousands of customers over that time. That experience gives me a practical understanding of how software is used in the real world: staff workflows, customer service, stock, payments, reporting, warranties, operations and the pressure of systems that need to work while a business is running. I can help with: • Building Flutter apps for iOS and Android • Developing Laravel backends, APIs and admin dashboards • Building React and Next.js web apps • Fixing and improving existing mobile apps and SaaS platforms • Turning prototypes into production-ready systems • Reviewing Supabase, Firebase, Stripe and app security before launch • Integrating Stripe, Stripe Connect, subscriptions and payment flows • Improving onboarding, authentication, booking and workflow logic • Building customer portals, staff tools and operational dashboards • Cleaning up overcomplicated systems before release I regularly work on: • Mobile apps and MVPs • SaaS platforms • Booking and scheduling systems • Payment and subscription systems • QR code and scanning workflows • Customer portals and admin dashboards • Retail, POS, inventory and operational systems • AI-assisted, Cursor, Lovable, Base44, Replit and prototype-based projects • Operational apps used by staff, customers or field teams I am not just a code-only developer. I help think through the product, identify risks, simplify the build and explain technical decisions in plain English. Tech stack: Flutter, Dart, Laravel, PHP, React, Next.js, JavaScript, Node.js, Mern, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Stripe, Stripe Connect, Firebase, Supabase, AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Digital Ocean, Redis, WordPress, REST APIs, Native Android and iOS PLUS many more.

Production Supabase and PostgreSQL backends for SaaS founders. Auth, RLS, Stripe billing, Next.js APIs, and AI integrations that ship clean and hold up under real traffic. Recent client: "Rare at any price point." I specialize in the backend layer most full stack generalists avoid: multi tenant row level security, complex PostGIS schemas, and the production hardening that makes a codebase safe to hand to the next developer. I also run my own SaaS that processes 1M+ property listings nightly, so I build around founder constraints, not just engineering ideals. On my current education platform contract I act as technical lead across a multi contractor team: I make the schema calls, define the API contracts the other developers build against, and review their work before it ships. What I deliver: • Supabase and Postgres architecture. Migrations, triggers, RLS policies, schema cleanup, multi tenant isolation. • Stripe subscriptions. Webhooks, billing state sync, access control tied to subscription status. • Next.js App Router. Server actions, route handlers, API integration, frontend wiring. • AI features that ship. OpenAI and Claude integration, RAG pipelines, evals, guardrails. • PostGIS and spatial data. Location based schemas, GIS queries, Mapbox integration. • Team integration. I slot in alongside your existing developers, automation contractors, and vendors, and I review code as carefully as I write it. • Production handoff. Passing test suites, documented migrations, docs the next dev can follow. Recent Upwork work, all 5.0: • $9,550 fixed price production backend for a workforce analytics SaaS • Municipal GIS platform: 107 row level security policies enforcing per town isolation, Mapbox field mapping, Playwright test coverage. "Honestly one of the best freelancers I've worked with." • 72 table PostGIS schema with RLS on all 72 tables and 189 indexes, delivered ahead of deadline • Backend package: 18 SQL migrations, 14 Edge Functions, 257 passing SQL tests • Education platform, in progress: Stripe billing, Vimeo gated lessons, bulk school enrollment, technical lead across the client's contractor team Top Rated on Upwork. 5.0 across every contract. I'm best for founders who have a real product or a messy build and need it secure, scalable, and ready for customers. I work async by default: GitHub PRs with context, honest timelines, same day responses during working hours. Send a message and I'll reply within a few hours.
