🚀 What I Do
I'm a Senior Full Stack Developer who builds AI-powered web applications and connects systems that need to talk to each other. Most of my work falls into one of three buckets: building new platforms from scratch, integrating AI into products that already exist, or stepping in as a long-term technical partner for teams that need someone reliable.
I'm not a "yes man." If I see a better way to do something, I'll tell you. If I see risks in your current approach, I'll tell you that too. Some clients love this, some don't. If you want someone to just nod and code, I'm probably not your best fit.
🤖 AI Integration & Automation
- AI API Integration with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI
- Chatbots, document processing, and content generation pipelines
- Automation workflows using n8n, MCP, and custom tooling
- Adding AI features to existing platforms without breaking them
🛠️ Full Stack Development
- Backend & APIs: Go, PHP/Laravel, Python/FastAPI, Node.js, REST, GraphQL
- Frontend: React, Next.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTMX
- Integrations: Shopify API, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ
- Data: MySQL, PostgreSQL, ELK
- Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Prometheus, Grafana
💼 Recent Work I'm Proud Of
- Open Banking infrastructure: 2 years on the backend team building UK Open Banking standard infrastructure. Conducted API conformity tests for a major US bank that played a crucial role in their CMA approval to operate in the UK market.
- Logistics platform optimization: Replaced a complex Zapier-based workflow with a standalone server. Cut operational headcount from 10 managers to 1, saves a few thousand USD per month, and dramatically reduced human error. The producers, packagers, warehouse, drivers, operators, and owner are all happy with the new system.
- Custom Go authentication systems, Grafana dashboards for fintech monitoring, and a number of long-term technical specialist roles where clients kept me on for 5+ years.
💬 What Clients Say
"A fantastic developer, total integrity and very reliable."
- Golang full stack client (1,500+ hours)
"One of the best guys we worked with."
- Long-term hosting and infrastructure client
"This professional is very capable. He showed proper commitment and deserves special recognition for his seriousness and correctness."
- Recurring enterprise client
🎯 How I Work: The 3Cs
- Confidentiality: I treat your data and business with the same care as my own
- Continuous Improvement: I stay curious, current, and always learning what matters
- Commitment: I approach every project as if it were my own business
📩 Let's Talk
If you need a senior developer who's honest about what works and what doesn't, owns the outcome, and stays for the long term, I'd be glad to chat. I usually respond within a few hours during business days.
