If your app is broken, behind schedule, or stuck with bugs you can't diagnose, I can help. I specialize in taking AI-built and half-finished apps the last mile: fixing, hardening, auditing, and shipping them to production. I've been building production software for 35+ years, including a decade as CTO and then Chief Product Officer at a fintech platform, where transaction correctness, data isolation, and security were non-negotiable. I still sit in that seat today as a fractional CTO for founders, guiding teams from idea through MVP launch. I've led architecture, run engineering teams, and shipped systems that had to hold up under real operational stakes. I build with AI tooling every day, including Claude and the Anthropic API, and I run my own business operations on an automated AI-agent pipeline I built. That's why my delivery timelines run ahead of standard estimates, and why I know exactly where AI-generated codebases skip guardrails and where they hold up. My recent production work centers on React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres, Auth, RLS), Node.js, and Stripe. Recent engagements include pre-launch SaaS architecture audits, Supabase RLS and API security reviews, rescuing AI-generated MVPs (Lovable, v0, and similar) into production, and LLM feature integrations. Common engagements: - Pre-launch architecture and security audits, with a written findings and remediation report (Supabase RLS is a specialty) - Stabilizing and finishing AI-built or half-built MVPs - API integrations that fail, timeout, or return incorrect data - Auth, webhooks, and data sync issues - React rendering, state, and performance problems - Node.js / Express backend errors and crashes - LLM features: chat, scoring, extraction, and agent workflows I also work with Web3 systems when a project calls for it, including Ethereum and Solana smart contracts, token integrations, and wallet-based workflows. I'm available for short-term fixes, audits, and ongoing support. If you're not sure what you need yet, start with an audit: you'll get a written findings and remediation report you can act on with or without me.

If your data is stuck in the wrong system, in messy files, or behind an awkward API, I can help. I turn complex data problems into working systems and usable deliverables. I help clients move data between platforms, automate manual work, clean up unreliable exports, and build workflows that save time and reduce errors. Whether the deliverable is a program they can keep using, or a clean CSV, Excel file, report, or database, I can make it happen. Most of my work is API integrations, ETL pipelines, backend automation, data processing, and data migrations. I'm at my best when the problem is not clean or perfectly defined. I'll solve that problem first. I build data workflows that are meant to hold up in real use. I work with complex APIs, big JSON or XML data files, elaborate schema, folders full of CSV and Excel files, and large datasets where correctness matters. The result is a cleaner dataset, a dependable program, or a responsive and well-designed workflow. If you need a dependable program, a solid new system, or a clean final dataset, I can help.

I started working on PHP web apps. Most of my time was spent on backend logic, databases, and keeping older systems running. Pretty early on I noticed a pattern. Things did not break because of code most of the time. They broke because the data was messy or the system structure did not make sense. That pushed me to focus more on backend work. I started building APIs and working with data from different sources. A lot of it was not clean. I spent time making it consistent and usable without making the system too complex. Over time I took on more responsibility around how systems are put together. I still write code, but I also think about where logic should live and how data moves through the system. I have also helped coordinate work on some projects, but I always stay close to the backend. I prefer to stay hands on and understand what is actually running. Most of the work I take on now is not building from scratch. It is fixing systems that already work but feel off. Slow, messy, or hard to extend. That is usually where I can help the most.
