Most apps are built to launch. Few are built to last — and almost none are built for the AI era. I build React Native apps that are fast, scalable, and ready to integrate AI features your users will actually notice — including LLM-powered experiences using OpenAI and Claude by Anthropic. From MVP to full product, clean code, no shortcuts, no expensive rewrites later. My stack covers the full picture: React Native and Expo on the frontend, Node.js, Express and NestJS on the backend, Firebase, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for data, and OpenAI, Claude and Lovable for AI integration — all tied together with proper CI/CD pipelines. What you actually get: An AI-ready architecture that won't need rebuilding when your product grows. Performance-first builds that feel fast to the people using them. Clean, maintainable code your next developer won't curse you for. And a developer who stays until it's right — not until it's shipped. Let's build something that's still standing two years from now.

I help startups and growing companies determine whether AI can actually solve their business problems and then build working solutions to prove it. Whether you are asking "Can AI automate this workflow?" or "Should we build a chatbot for our knowledge base?", I will give you clear, honest answers backed by working proof, not just speculation. WHAT I BRING I spent 15+ years building and shipping software products, including 3 years as a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft, where I built developer tools used by thousands of developers. I have led distributed technical teams, designed APIs, and turned ambiguous requirements into products that ship. Now, I'm focused on AI; building RAG pipelines, developing AI agents, and helping teams cut through the hype to understand what's actually achievable today. WHAT I'VE BUILT RECENTLY * RAG pipeline using Llamaindex, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and React for retrieval over document collections. * Published AI agent tutorials walking through architecture, tool use, and implementation. * Currently building an Agentic RAG pipeline builder. WHAT I CAN HELP WITH * AI Feasibility Assessments: Before you invest, let us determine if AI fits your use case and what building it would require. * RAG Pipeline Development: Connect your documents, knowledge base, or data to LLMs for Q&A, search or analysis. * AI Agents: Agents that automate workflows, assist users, or integrate with your tools. * AI Product Strategy: Roadmapping, prioritization, and practical planning for AI-powered features. MY APPROACH I ask questions before I build. Too many teams invest in AI solutions before understanding whether AI is even the right tool. My background in product management means I think about product outcomes first, then work backward to the technical approach. If you are exploring AI for your business and want practical guidance from someone who has shipped real products, send me a message. Happy to chat about your project.
