I'm a certified solutions architect for Amazon Web Services with experience in full-stack software development. My typical stack for web development is a React.js front-end paired with a node.js backend hosted on AWS. For mobile development my preferred stack is React-Native but I have experience in native development with Swift for iOS and native Android development in Java. I'd love to help your project at any stage, whether it's UX design, software development, API integration, data migration, or even just bug fixes & documentation. Whether you've got a new idea for an app or need a consult for a redesign on one of your micro-service containers, let me know how I can assist!

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience freelancing full-time. I’ve worked with clients ranging from solo entrepreneurs to public software companies with more teams than anyone can keep track of. Whether you need someone to build your project from scratch or quietly blend into a larger team, I’m your person. What I Do (Besides Write Code) * Tech Stack: JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, AWS, Vercel—basically all the tools you’ve heard of but might not want to deal with yourself. * Top Rated Plus Status: It’s like a gold star for freelancers, but they don’t actually send you a star. * Communication: I’ll keep you updated without flooding your inbox. Balance is key. * Project Management: Things will get done on time. No chaos. No drama. * Guidance: If you’re not sure what you need, I can help figure it out. Think of me as a consultant who also writes the code. Why Me? I’m adaptable enough to fit into any project setup. Need someone to work independently? No problem. Have a team that needs another developer? I’ll jump in without causing ripples. My approach is straightforward: deliver quality work, keep communication clear, and avoid unnecessary meetings whenever possible. If you’re looking for someone who knows their way around modern web technologies and doesn’t need hand-holding, let’s talk. I promise to keep things professional and maybe even mildly entertaining.
