I build AI SaaS products end to end and fix the ones that stalled. Full-stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Stripe, OpenAI. Expert-Vetted (top 1%), Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 50+ contracts, zero abandoned projects. Building from scratch: I take a SaaS MVP from spec to a live product in 4-8 weeks. Auth, multi-tenant data isolation with Supabase RLS, role-based access, Stripe billing (subscriptions, usage-based, self-service portal), admin dashboards, file uploads, PDF and CSV exports, deploy to Vercel or Docker. Fixed price, milestone-based, weekly demos. I recommend the stack, explain the trade-offs, and push back when a spec will cause problems three months out. AI integration in production, not demos: OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, structured JSON outputs with schema validation, RAG pipelines on pgvector or Pinecone with LangChain, vision analysis, voice agents (ElevenLabs, LiveKit, Whisper), LLM cost guardrails and token limits, async processing with queues, retries and fallbacks, observability so you see how users interact with your AI. Audit and fix: if your app was built with Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, Replit, or Claude Code and it's stuck, I audit it in 5 days. You get a written report with every issue ranked by severity and a fixed quote for the fixes. I keep your codebase. No rewrite from scratch. Fixes take 2-3 weeks at a fixed price agreed up front. Recent builds, all live: - Excello: AI voice coaching platform. LiveKit, ElevenLabs, Stripe subscriptions. - AuditMake: multi-tenant audit platform. OpenAI document pipeline, Supabase RLS, RBAC, audit logs, PDF reports. - Valtra: AI invoice verification for construction. LangChain extraction with Zod schemas, savings analytics. I use Claude Code and Cursor daily and review every line they produce. How I work: daily written updates, GitHub PRs, documented decisions, risks flagged early. Send one line about what you're building or where it's stuck. I reply within a day.
