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

Excellent knowledge of HTML & CSS, together with javascript and its popular libraries jQuery, ExtJS. Working smoothly in any team, using version control systems like SVN & Git and tools like Ant & Maven. All backed by fluency in DB layer - writing complex SQL & SPs for MySql, Postgres, SQL Server, DB2. Having a comprehensive knowledge of all layers of a modern web enterprise application, I can supervise the technical aspects of a team of developers, as well as choose and set up optimal set of technologies to meet project needs. At the same time I am able to contribute to developing critical tasks. I have extremely high coding standards. The code that I produce is always clearly written, formatted and documented, using recognized patterns and best practices, optimized for execution and scalability, and consistent across the whole project. Maintainability and ease of serving new requests is extremely important. Proper testing, unit and integration, is mandatory. I also demand this criteria for those who I am supervising. Over the last 13 years I've worked in various companies; developing highly critical applications (in terms of responsiveness, reliability and security) for such clients as banks and European public institutions. I'm capable of working according to a strict specification, but also analyzing loose requirements and making reasonable decisions if given enough responsibility on the project.

Your SaaS doesn't need another developer who just writes code—it needs someone who can understand your product, solve backend bottlenecks, and ship reliable features without breaking what's already working. I help startups and growing businesses build, improve, and maintain scalable backend systems and full-stack applications. Whether you're launching a new product or improving an existing one, I can help you: - Build production-ready REST APIs - Add new features to existing applications without introducing regressions - Optimize slow APIs and database queries - Debug complex production issues and eliminate recurring bugs - Integrate third-party APIs, payment gateways, and external services - Design scalable backend architectures for SaaS products - Build secure authentication and authorization systems (JWT/OAuth) - Improve application performance, reliability, and maintainability My primary stack includes Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Docker, Redis, AWS, and modern API-driven architectures. I enjoy working with existing codebases, understanding business workflows, and turning ideas into production-ready software that scales. I believe clean architecture, clear communication, and predictable delivery are just as important as writing good code. If you're looking for an engineer who can take ownership, solve difficult backend problems, and build software that lasts, let's talk.

At A Glance: J2EE

Developing powerful and dynamic programs and software is a vital aspect of any modern business. Implementing enterprise, networking, and web service software gives businesses an edge when navigating the highly data-driven and interactive business landscape. Java Enterprise Edition is a powerful computing platform for developing enterprise software to help you and your business manage and distribute all aspects of enterprise computations. Java Enterprise Edition provides API platforms for web services, multi-tier architectures, and object-related programming, as well as other powerful and efficient software development tools. Working with Java Enterprise Edition developers and programmers found on Upwork can provide valuable tools and opportunities for you or your organization to take advantage of, thereby creating a dynamic and flexible workspace.

J2EE developers and programmers are highly-skilled computer programmers with experience in the Java scripting language as well as the J2EE development platform. Working with a J2EE developer allows your organization and company to leverage the power of J2EE applications and software solutions that you already have implemented by making applications more efficient and manageable. Programmers can work independently or with a team within your organization to create and develop applications and frameworks your company needs to stay competitive in the highly interactive and data-driven business world. Hiring a freelance J2EE developer or programmer on Upwork gives you and your business access to a highly skilled, flexible pool of talent that is capable of producing a wide variety of solutions and applications that can become the driving force for meeting any enterprising business needs.
