HOW I WORK
Every project starts with the database architecture. A well-designed Airtable foundation makes the entire system easier to maintain, extend and scale as your business grows.
I focus on practical solutions, clear communication and building systems your team can confidently manage after launch. Every project includes documentation and handover so you have full ownership of what we build.
If you're planning a client portal, CRM, internal tool or no-code SaaS application, send me a message with a rough description of what you're trying to build — that's enough to start.

6+ years as a Bubble Developer and 8+ years in Software Development. During this time, I have planned, developed, executed, and maintained multiple web and mobile applications, from MVPs to internal tools, combining API integrations, AI-assisted development, and Agile/Scrum methodologies to move fast without sacrificing quality.
Some of my expertise in coding and low-code languages, frameworks, and tools includes:
- Certified Bubble Developer
- BuildPrint
- JavaScript
- Claude Code
- Vercel
- Hatchable
- SQL
- CSS
- Java
- Node.js
- PHP
- Laravel
- React
- C#
- REST APIs
I've worked integrating several external APIs into a variety of projects by retrieving data, validating customers, processing payments, and building webhooks. Some of them include:
- Stripe API
- Twilio API
- Google API
- Google Maps and Geocode API
- Claude API
- Persona API
- DocuSign API
- SendGrid API
- Postmark API
- Algolia API
- Cloudbeds API
- Eventbrite API
As Bubble apps tend to grow large, a core skill I've learned over the years is optimizing search, data, and workflows for better loading speed and to support larger queries. And same goes for application security: I implement privacy policy features to manage role-based access to data, along with reviewing and adding authentication for webhooks and external services, to help prevent potential malicious attacks.
Regarding mobile app development in Bubble, I have plenty of experience using BDK Native and Natively to wrap and publish applications for the iOS and Android stores.
And for AI implementation, I use BuildPrint to build components, resolve bugs, optimize tasks, sync data, review conflicts between app versions, document projects, and quickly get up to speed on new codebases.
If you have an app in Bubble and want to migrate to another technology, I can help speed up development using modern AI tools, with deployment to Vercel or Hatchable.
I'm always eager to learn new technologies and take on new platforms. The tech world keeps evolving, and staying adaptable is part of doing the job well.
Beyond the technical side, clients know me as responsive, clear, and easy to plan with.
If your project fits any of this (or requires learning a new tool or platform), send me a message and let's talk through what you need.
