I build mobile apps — the real kind, native, shipped to the store, used by actual people — and lately the AI systems inside them. I've been doing the first for 20 years and the second long enough to know where it actually pays off. I'm Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1% of talent), with 100% Job Success, 5,700+ hours, and $200K+ earned. Behind that is 20+ years in software — a decade architecting enterprise systems at Accenture for Fortune 500s, then CTO of a SaaS startup I scaled from 3 to 30+ engineers and took to consumer scale. I'm completing Stanford's AI Professional Program now. What you get is a CTO-caliber technologist who never stopped writing production code. I work two ways, depending on what you need: ⸻ * Mobile Apps — zero to App Store * (fixed-price) You have an idea or a validated concept; I deliver the finished app, live in the App Store and Play Store. Architecture, design, frontend, backend, deployment, and the part most people underestimate — actually getting through store review, native builds, push, Live Activities, the works. I've shipped 20+ mobile apps, several used by hundreds of thousands of people, and I handle the whole build personally. Shipping a native app to a store is a different discipline than deploying a web app, and it's the discipline I've spent years in. * AI Systems and other complex software — design & build * (hourly) Production AI/LLM systems, not prototypes. My recent work is a multi-vendor LLM pipeline that benchmarked 21 model-and-strategy combinations across Claude, GPT, and Gemini over 54 recipe sources in 7 countries — automated quality scoring against an Opus gold-standard reference, and cost tuned across a 150x price spread down to the best quality-per-dollar. The hard part of AI work isn't calling an API; it's knowing where AI actually earns its keep, which model fits which job, and how to architect a pipeline that holds up in production. That's what I do, then I build it — often straight into the mobile products above. ⸻ The background behind that: 10 years at Accenture on large-scale systems for Fortune 500s in healthcare, telecom, oil & gas, and retail. Then CTO at a SaaS startup — engineering scaled 3 to 40, a multi-service platform shipped with payments, identity, and real-time processing running at consumer scale. 📎 Stanford — AI Professional Program (completing August 2026) 📎 Kellogg — Product Strategy 📎 TOGAF Certified Enterprise Architect ⸻ Native Mobile (React Native / Expo, App Store & Play Store delivery) · TypeScript/JavaScript · LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) · Prompt Engineering · Multi-Model Pipelines · React · Next.js · Node.js · Supabase · PostgreSQL · AWS · Solution Architecture

At A Glance: Driver Development

From the physician’s office to the classroom, and Wall Street to Dubai, technology drives the course of the modern world. Almost all technological devices, from complex computer systems to pocket-sized smartphones, require some form of software and driver in order to operate. Whether you’re in the business of creating smart cars or high-tech surgical equipment, software and a dependable, high-quality driver are essential. The device driver, commonly referred to as a driver, provides a software interface to hardware devices that allows operating systems and other computer programs to quickly and easily access hardware functions. Software can take on many forms, including the underlying system with which a device runs and a network is controlled, or the applications users access on a computer or device in order to accomplish specific tasks. Whatever your driver development or software engineering needs, an experienced driver development expert or software engineer will ensure your technological device or piece of software stands above the rest. Software engineers apply engineering principles to maintain, test, develop, and evaluate software and systems across a multitude of devices and platforms. Driver developers possess an in-depth understanding of how software and hardware works for specific platforms and operating systems, including Windows, Android, and Linux.

On Upwork, you’ll be able to post your device driver project free of cost, and browse the profiles of numerous experienced driver developers and software engineers in order to locate a professional whose skill set best suits your project needs.
