Most HubSpot work stalls at the same place: the drag-and-drop editor runs out of road, and there's no developer around to take it further. That's usually when I get the call. I'm a HubSpot developer and technical consultant with hundreds of clients served. Clients tend to keep me on the bench. A good chunk of my contracts are second and third jobs with the same people. The difference is that I'm a software engineer who works in HubSpot, not a portal configurator. I write HubL, JavaScript, and Python. I build custom objects, real API integrations, and dynamic sites off HubDB. When HubSpot genuinely can't do something, I build the thing next to it that can. One client brought me in to build an application portal for their AI startup from scratch in Django: 169 hours, shipped, five stars, "a spectacular engineer." What I get hired for: - HubSpot CMS builds: custom themes, modules, HubDB-driven pages, landing pages, email templates - Sales and lifecycle process: lead, deal, onboarding, and support pipelines, built properly and automated - Integrations and automation: Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom API work when the no-code tools hit their limit - Portal audits and cleanup: you inherited a mess from the last agency and need someone to find out what's actually running - Custom apps: Python/Django and Next.js builds that extend past HubSpot's edges - SaaS product operations: standing up product teams and repeatable process for founders scaling past ad hoc Recent feedback: "his HubSpot development work was top-tier." "An awesome HubSpot expert who really knows his stuff." "My second time hiring Jonathan." How I work: you tell me what's broken or what you're trying to build, and I tell you what it'll actually take, including when the answer is "that's simpler than you think" or "HubSpot is the wrong tool for this." I'd rather lose the contract than sell you six weeks of work you don't need. Send me a message or book a consultation. Bring specifics.

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) | Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine I’m a .NET developer specializing in building reliable, production‑ready systems for e‑commerce, logistics, and workflow automation. I focus on backend engineering, API integrations, and deterministic data pipelines that keep operations stable and predictable. I build Windows services, DevExpress‑based desktop applications, API integrations, and SQL‑driven ingestion engines using C#, .NET, and SQL Server. My work includes deep integrations with Amazon SP‑API, Amazon Ads‑API, and other retail platform APIs, enabling automated workflows, real‑time data synchronization, and operational visibility across systems. I design systems that reduce manual work, improve operational reliability, and ensure data flows correctly between platforms. My approach is practical, engineering‑driven, and focused on long‑term maintainability — building solutions that behave consistently in real production environments.

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.
