I help startups and product teams ship AI-powered web applications that reduce manual work, scale reliably, and get to production faster than most development timelines allow. From full-stack SaaS platforms to custom AI agents and MCP servers, I bring the engineering depth and AI fluency to build software that actually works in the real world. If you need solid engineering and intelligent automation on the same project, you are in the right place. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤖 AI, AUTOMATION & AGENTIC WORKFLOWS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is where modern software gets its edge. I design and deploy production AI agents that automate real business operations, covering everything from customer support and data processing to internal workflows that used to eat up hours of manual effort every day. ➜ AI agent development and multi-step agentic workflow pipelines ➜ Custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server development, connecting Claude directly to your internal tools, databases, and APIs ➜ LLM integrations using the Claude API, OpenAI API, and Anthropic SDK ➜ Tool-use, function calling, and complex multi-step reasoning pipelines ➜ Custom AI assistants and copilots embedded directly into your existing web applications ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ BACKEND ENGINEERING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I build high-performance, production-grade backends for teams that care about clean architecture and long-term maintainability, not just getting something out the door. ➜ Go (Gin) for high-performance APIs and microservices built to scale ➜ NestJS for enterprise-grade TypeScript backends with clean, modular architecture ➜ Express.js and HonoJS for lightweight, fast APIs on leaner products ➜ REST API design, secure authentication (JWT, OAuth, OTP, RBAC), and solid system architecture from the ground up ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Modern, responsive interfaces that are fast, accessible, and that users actually enjoy working with. ➜ React and Next.js with App Router and Server Components, the current standard for production SaaS frontends ➜ Mantine UI and Tailwind CSS for clean, accessible component design ➜ TanStack Query and Redux Toolkit for robust, predictable state management ➜ Performance-first development with Core Web Vitals built into the process ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛢 DATABASES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Supabase is a core part of how I build backends quickly without cutting corners. It brings Postgres-powered data, real-time subscriptions, row-level security, built-in authentication, and edge functions together in one platform that scales naturally as your user base grows. For projects that need more control or a different fit, I work with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, covering schema design, query optimization, indexing, and migrations from day one. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 DEVOPS & DEPLOYMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ End-to-end deployment is part of what I deliver. It is not an afterthought and not something I hand off once the code is written. ➜ Docker and GitHub Actions for containerized apps with fully automated CI/CD pipelines ➜ DigitalOcean, AWS, Vercel, and Hostinger, deployed wherever your stack makes sense ➜ Grafana and Prometheus for monitoring and observability so you always know exactly what is happening in production ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💠 WHAT I BUILD FOR YOU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ➜ AI agents that automate real business workflows and eliminate manual overhead ➜ Custom MCP servers that give Claude direct access to your internal tools and data ➜ LLM-powered SaaS features including chatbots, AI copilots, and RAG pipelines ➜ Full-stack SaaS platforms with authentication, role management, and scalable APIs ➜ Supabase-powered backends with real-time data, edge functions, and row-level security ➜ Internal tools that reduce operational errors and cut team overhead CI/CD pipelines and monitoring dashboards for clean, observable production deployments ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐ WHY WORK WITH ME ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I use Claude and agentic workflows during development, which means I move faster than most without taking shortcuts that create technical debt down the road. The code you receive is clean, well-documented, and maintainable. Any engineer you bring in later will be able to pick it up without a struggle. You get realistic timelines, honest scoping, and regular updates throughout the project, not just at the kickoff and at the very end. READY TO BUILD? If you have an AI-enabled SaaS, an internal automation project, or a full-stack product you want to get moving shortly, send me a message. Tell me: ➜ What you want to build, ➜ Your current stack if you have one ➜ Your target timeline. I will get back to you within 24 hours with an honest take.
