Senior AI Engineer | Python, Next.js, FastAPI, Low-code deployments/ DevOps Engineer ⭐ Top Rated (8+ years) 🤝 TRUSTED by Toptal (Top 3%) ✅ Vibe Coder, ML, NLP & LLM, Claude (SKILLS), MCPs, Hermes, AWS, DevOps/MLOps I spent 𝟱 years building production systems the traditional way but for the last 𝟯+ years, I'm helping startups and product teams ship 𝟯𝟬𝘅 faster. Whether that's building from zero, deploying to production or auditing an existing product to find what's slowing it down. Behind those numbers is a system: deep mastery of Claude Code, MCP architecture, AI agents, tools like Replit, Lovable and Cursor. Most freelancers make you take all the risk: you pay, you wait, you hope. I flip it. Send me your idea. I'll send back a practical production roadmap: what to build, what to skip, what it'll take. That costs you nothing but the message. Worst case? You get a free second opinion from someone who's shipped 𝟱𝟬+ 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀. Best case? We build something that prints. You bring an idea or a half-built product. I give you the shortest honest path to production. Sometimes that path is "build this with Claude Code in two weeks." Sometimes it's "your architecture will collapse at 1,000 users, let's fix this first." You get the truth either way, because the truth is cheaper than a rebuild.
