Twenty years in. 260 jobs, 4,392 hours, and a little over $300K earned on Upwork. There are hundreds of live HubSpot sites running code I wrote. Here's what that's worth now that AI has rewritten the economics of this work: you're not hiring hours anymore. You're hiring the judgment to know exactly what to build — and the speed to ship it before the quarter ends. WHAT I ACTUALLY DO Most clients don't come to me with a coding problem. They come with a process that leaks. Leads going cold, a sales handoff nobody owns, onboarding held together by a spreadsheet, support tickets that vanish, renewals that surprise everyone. I map the whole thing first — lead → sales → onboarding → ops → support → post-delivery — and diagram it so you can see exactly where the money falls out. Then I build the system that closes the gaps. Usually in HubSpot, sometimes in code, often both. RevOps that's actually actionable, not a slide deck. HUBSPOT, DEEP I've been building on HubSpot CMS (now Content Hub) since the early theming days and have lived through every version of that environment. CRM, Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub, Operations Hub — custom objects, workflows, serverless functions, and the Breeze/AI-agent setup most teams haven't touched yet. Need a rebrand or redesign? That used to be a months-long, painful project. It isn't anymore. I've built repeatable redesign processes that let you reskin and relaunch fast without tearing the CRM out from under you. BUILD When a job needs real software, I build it. Clean feature work, integrations, and full SaaS betas. With my AI-assisted build process I can take an idea to a working, user-ready beta in a window that used to be reserved for funded teams. You bring the vision and a scalable server; I bring the architecture and the build. DATA THAT MOVES Most stacks don't have a data problem, they have a data-flow problem — the same customer living in five systems that don't talk to each other. I handle the sync and the plumbing: HubSpot API, Zapier/Make, custom integrations, and LLM features wired directly into your app or CRM so the AI does something useful instead of sitting in a demo. I also do technical SEO — the document-structure, crawl, and on-page errors that quietly cost HubSpot and app sites their rankings. (Oddly satisfying to fix.) THE RATE, HONESTLY AI made this work faster, not cheaper. A build that took 60 hours might take 18 now — which means you're paying for two decades of pattern recognition and a system that works the first time, not for a timer running while I figure it out. If you want the cheapest hands on a keyboard, I'm not your guy. If you want it done right, once, fast — let's talk. I run a one-person shop on purpose, and I'll tell you straight when something's outside my lane or when a bigger team would serve you better. No JavaScript-framework marathons, and I'd rather architect on infrastructure I trust than babysit someone else's. Let's chat. I'm genuinely happy to hop on a call and map your process — whether you hire me or just walk away with a clearer picture of what you actually need.

If your app is broken, behind schedule, or stuck with bugs you can’t diagnose, I can help. I’m a senior full-stack developer with 30+ years of experience fixing, stabilizing, and finishing production systems—especially React, Node.js, APIs, and databases. I’m often brought in when: • A project is partially built but stuck • A previous developer disappeared • Bugs are blocking launch • APIs or integrations aren’t working My focus is fast diagnosis, clear communication, and shipping fixes—not rewrites. I’m a hands-on developer with 35 years of experience delivering production software across web, backend, and infrastructure systems. In recent work, I’ve been building and fixing applications using React, Node.js, MongoDB, and modern cloud environments. I also work with Web3 systems when needed, including Ethereum and Solana smart contracts, token integrations, and wallet-based workflows. With experience across many languages and platforms, I adapt quickly to the problem at hand and focus on getting things working reliably. Common fixes I handle: • API integrations that fail, timeout, or return incorrect data • Third-party API auth, webhooks, and data sync issues • React rendering, state, and performance issues • Node.js / Express backend errors and crashes • MongoDB schema, query, and data issues • Finishing half-built MVPs I’m available for short-term fixes or ongoing support.

I build web scrapers that handle bot detection and scale. Also: FastAPI backends, Discord bots, and Python automation. I've built scrapers processing 10k+ records, various API integrations for startups, and automated data entry tasks saving clients money and manpower. Experience in fields like sports betting, finance, and medical. I handle rate limits, dynamically loaded content, and uniform data delivery. What do you need built?

Build production-ready AI agents, RAGs with LangChain + GPT for SaaS companies. Cut dev time 50% and scale to tens of thousands of users. Recent client feedback: “Zak was awesome! He delivered exactly what I asked faster than I expected! He is extremely knowledgeable” I don’t just write code, I solve business problems. Whether you need an AI agent handling customer inquiries 24/7, a custom workflow that eliminates manual tasks, or a scalable web application, I deliver solutions that save time and generate ROI. What I specialize in: 🤖 AI Agents & Automation by • Custom ChatGPT/Claude integrations • Workflow automation (Zapier / n8n alternatives) • Data processing pipelines • Lead generation bots ⚡ Modern Full-Stack Development Turning AI-generated prototypes into real applications - Yes, Vibe coding got you 80% there in 2 hours, but now you need the other 20% that actually matters: security, authentication, error handling, database design, and deployment that doesn’t crash at 3am • Next.js 14+ with App Router • React/TypeScript applications • Node.js/Python APIs • Real-time applications (WebRTC, WebSockets) ☁️ Cloud & Infrastructure • AWS serverless architecture • Database optimization (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB) • API design and integration • Performance optimization My approach: Fixed-price or hourly projects with clear deliverables. You get working software, not just hours logged. I handle the technical complexity so you can focus on growing your business. Ready to automate your next bottleneck or build something that scales? Let’s talk.
