๐ Is your MVP taking months instead of weeks?
๐ก Tired of hiring a Front End Developer who doesn't understand your business and just writes code?
I'm a Front End Developer helping startup founders launch production-ready MVPs in ๐ฎโ๐ฏ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ๐, using a clear, ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐-๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฑ development approach. As an Upwork Expert-Vetted React Front End Developer with a Master's in Computer Science and 7+ years of experience building scalable SaaS platforms, dashboards, and custom APIs, I translate complex tech into clear product decisions that drive results.
Over those years as a Front End Developer I've worked with startups from idea stage to Series B, as well as enterprise clients like ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ๐๐๐ป๐ด, ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ป๐, and ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐น๐ฒ๐ - always focusing on fast delivery, clean architecture, and measurable outcomes.
๐ฌ Here's what founders say after working with me as their Front End Developer:

"๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐บ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ!"
Why founders keep me as their long-term Front End Developer:
๐ฏ Business-first mindset - a Front End Developer who understands your priorities and aligns tech decisions with them
โ๏ธ Rapid MVP execution - from concept to launch in weeks, not months
๐งฉ Front End ownership - a senior Front End Developer handling React, Next.js, API integrations, Tailwind, MUI and scalable architectures
๐งฉ Full Stack ownership - MERN, Express.js, Node.js, MongoDB
๐ง Strategic guidance - more than a Front End Developer: I help you define what truly matters for your first release
๐ Typical projects I take on as a Front End Developer:
SaaS dashboards and admin panels - React Front End Developer work with complex state and data-heavy UI
MVPs from Figma to production - a Front End Developer who ships, not just prototypes
Custom API integrations and internal tools for growing teams
Frontend rescue - stepping in as the new Front End Developer on an existing codebase
I don't take on last-minute fixes or e-commerce stores - as a Front End Developer I focus on SaaS and MVP projects where clear product thinking makes the difference.
If you're a founder looking for a reliable Front End Developer who speaks your language and delivers predictably - let's build something great together.

Startups, enterprises and public-sector organizations bring me in when the product needs strong technical decisions, not just execution - production AI systems, SaaS platforms and fintech, from architecture to live deployment.
Most engagements start with a fixed-price design phase that defines architecture, scope and roadmap, then convert into fixed milestones, so delivery stays structured and budget predictable. Rate $125-150/hr depending on complexity; most work is delivered as fixed-price milestones.
What I specialise in:
AI/LLM systems - RAG pipelines, multi-tenant AI assistants, agent orchestration, Claude/OpenAI integrations, structured outputs, eval pipelines.
SaaS platforms - multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, RBAC, admin backends, scalable APIs across web and mobile.
Fintech/compliance - ACH, Stripe Connect, idempotent payment webhooks, audit logging, GDPR-compliant data.
Govtech/regulated - transparency platforms, donor-funded compliance, multi-language reporting.
Blockchain/Web3 - Solana smart contracts, SPL tokens, DeFi integrations.
Selected results (live demos and links in the Portfolio section):
Minerva (active production) - multi-tenant AI assistant platform architected end to end: organizations upload document libraries and deploy embeddable chatbots on their own knowledge base. Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense vector + semantic), Entra ID + RBAC + MFA, full tenant isolation, golden-query eval harness in CI. NestJS, Next.js, Azure OpenAI.
Diginak.ai (active production, lead architect) - logistics document automation that auto-processes ~78% of inbound PDF/CSV/Excel with zero human touch; the remainder routes to human review with confidence scores. Claude API + tool use, state-machine workflow engine, retry/idempotency, 850+ automated tests. NestJS, PostgreSQL.
Walletta AI Cashier (concluded May 2026, 5-star) - real-time voice agent with sub-500ms perceived latency. Claude + GPT-4o orchestration, structured tool calls with confidence-scored routing, persistent WebSocket, retry with circuit breaker. LiveKit, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, NestJS.
Damen Capital Portal (concluded May 2026, 5-star) - loan-servicing portal for a private lender with the full ACH lifecycle: tokenization, NACHA returns R01-R85, HMAC-verified idempotent webhooks, append-only audit log, OAuth 2.0 + RBAC, scheduled reconciliation. NestJS + Fastify, Supabase.
PulseYourBiz (active production) - all-in-one SaaS for service providers: bookings, payments, invoicing, CRM, analytics. Five-app Turborepo monorepo, Stripe Connect payouts, idempotent webhooks, React Native mobile. Docker + GitHub Actions.
ProveYourImpact (production) - multi-tenant governance/compliance platform for donor-funded projects in PALOP countries: 20 API modules, 9-role RBAC, configurable workflow engine, audit log, EU/UNDP/World Bank report generators in four languages. NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL + RLS.
Also shipped: no-code Solana token/DeFi platform with 1,500+ users (SwapForge), offline-first clinical decision support for underserved regions (ExtendYourClinic), multi-tenant VetSaaS with PostgreSQL RLS isolation (acti.vet), React Native apps live on both app stores (ForroAI).
Tech stack:

AI: Claude, OpenAI, RAG, pgvector, Azure Cognitive Search, structured outputs (Zod/Pydantic), prompt caching, tool use, eval harnesses in CI.

Blockchain: Solana, Anchor, SPL, Jupiter, Solidity, EVM.
Working model: 25-30 hrs/week across a small number of parallel engagements. Best fit when the product needs architectural ownership - not a fit for quick fixes or one-off tasks.
