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.

Python developers, React developers, Node.js developers, AI engineers — all from a pre-vetted pool of top 3% talent.
✔️ PROJECT RESCUE
Half-built product? Vibe-coded MVP that needs finishing? App that's live but has performance issues, security vulnerabilities, or can't scale? I take ownership, audit the codebase, and ship. Performance optimization, security hardening, technical debt reduction, production-grade refactoring — all part of what I do.
✔️ HOW I WORK
Every engagement runs through a 36-point Quality Standards framework — a proprietary delivery process built over 200+ projects. Accurate estimates. Transparent tracking. On-time delivery. No surprises.
