I’m a Full Stack Engineer specializing in AI integration for real-world applications. My work focuses on two key areas: upgrading existing software with intelligent AI-powered features, and building new AI-native products from the ground up. Whether you already have a working platform that needs automation and intelligence, or you’re launching a completely new product, I can handle the entire process end-to-end, from backend architecture and API integrations to frontend implementation and user experience. I specialize in integrating AI into business workflows in ways that are practical, scalable, and actually useful. This includes AI assistants, chatbots, automation systems, intelligent workflows, recommendation systems, and AI-powered operational tools. I also work extensively with APIs and third-party ecosystems such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook (Meta APIs), payment systems, CRMs, and other external services to create connected, automated platforms. Beyond development, I work closely with clients to understand the actual business problem before jumping into implementation. In many cases, clients come in with one idea, but through discussion we identify a simpler, more scalable, or more cost-effective approach that delivers better long-term results. My goal is not just to write code, but to help build systems that make operational sense and create measurable value.

I help businesses connect their systems, automate repetitive processes, and build reliable integrations that keep working after launch. I’m an Integration and Automation Engineer with over 8 years of experience building SaaS products, APIs, backend systems, and complex third-party integrations. I specialize in workflow automation, data synchronization, CRM integrations, webhooks, OAuth, background jobs, API troubleshooting, and production-ready integration architecture. I work with tools and platforms such as HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, Airtable, Notion, Monday, Twilio, ActiveCampaign, Zoho, Xero, QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Stripe, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Trello, Asana, Linear, PayPal, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, and Perplexity. My technical stack includes Node.js, TypeScript, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, REST APIs, webhooks, queues, polling systems, and event-driven workflows. I can help with: Custom API integrations Zapier, Make, and Pipedream automations CRM, SaaS, payment, and accounting integrations AI-powered workflows and automations Webhook and event-driven systems Data synchronization, migration, and ETL OAuth and authentication flows Integration troubleshooting and performance improvements I don’t just connect two systems and call it done. I build integrations that account for duplicate events, expired tokens, inconsistent data, rate limits, temporary failures, retries, and changing business requirements. Have a system you need to connect or a process you want to automate? Send me the details, and let’s build a reliable solution.

I build API integrations, data extraction pipelines and business automations that keep running after handover. 75 of them are live right now on the Apify marketplace, serving 3.8K users at over 99 percent run success. Most integration and scraping work fails the same way. It does not crash. It quietly returns the wrong number, and nobody notices for a month. So every pipeline I build ships with something that checks it: a second reader that reads the same source a different way and compares. That habit caught 26 records dropped in silence from a client file last month, before the client ever saw it. What I do API integration and REST or GraphQL development in Node.js and Python Data extraction and web scraping at production scale, including sources behind login Backend and database architecture on PostgreSQL, including multi-tenant isolation with row level security enforced in the database rather than the application Business process automation with n8n and Make, with the parts that must not break written as code Webhook pipelines with idempotency, so a retry corrects instead of duplicating LLM and AI integration where reasoning earns its place, and plain code where it does not Work you can check PenBot, a SaaS I run with paying subscribers. PostgreSQL, Stripe subscriptions with webhook handling that cannot double process, MFA and encrypted credentials at rest. Haulr, a logistics platform live on the Apple App Store, whose backend enforces three isolated roles through row level security written by hand, so access is decided in the database rather than in the application. Cactus Watch, a road safety app live on the Apple App Store. Flutter with a Firestore backend, shipped through full CI/CD for both platforms. Links to all three, plus the 75 live pipelines, are in my Portfolio section below. How I work I tell you when your brief is wrong before I build it, not after. I would rather send a working sample than a promise. And I will tell you when there is a cheaper or simpler way to get what you want, even when it costs me the larger job.

I build full-stack web applications with React, Node.js, and Python, covering the user interface, the backend logic, the database, and the API. My focus is on software that works reliably in the real world, not just in a demo. Clients usually come to me with one of two needs. Some have an idea and need it built from the ground up. Others have an existing project that's broken, slow, or stalled, and need a developer who can step in, understand the codebase quickly, and move it forward. I'm equally comfortable with both: building from scratch and rescuing work that's already in progress. Here's what I can help you with: Web applications in React and Node.js, including dashboards, internal tools, client portals, and customer-facing products Backend APIs and services in Python or Node.js, built on well-structured, maintainable databases Integrations that connect your application to the tools and services you already rely on Ongoing development, including new features, bug fixes, and refactoring on existing codebases I come from a software engineering background, which shapes how I work. I write clean, well-organized code because it saves you time and money down the line, whether that's a future developer picking up the project or you revisiting it six months from now. I'd rather deliver something solid and ship it on schedule than chase perfection that never launches. When a project calls for it, I also build automations and internal tools to eliminate repetitive manual work. But my core focus is development. The way I work is straightforward. I take the time to understand what you're building and what success looks like, then I find the most reliable path to get there. I meet deadlines, keep you updated without you needing to follow up, and I'll tell you honestly when I think there's a better approach. If you have a project in mind, a new build or one that needs rescuing, send me the details. I'll give you an honest assessment of whether I'm the right fit and how I'd tackle it.

I help clients with Python-based API work, web scraping, automation, and data processing. Most of my work has involved: – Consuming and integrating APIs (Twitter/X, YouTube, third-party services) – Scraping and cleaning large datasets – Automating data pipelines and scripts – Building small web tools and dashboards I specialize in short-term, clearly scoped projects where you need something built, fixed, or automated without long onboarding. Tools I use regularly: – Python (requests, pandas, automation scripts) – APIs & webhooks – PostgreSQL / Google Sheets – React (for lightweight frontends when needed) I value clear communication, fast turnaround, and realistic scope. If your task fits that, I’m happy to take a look.
