    I build and fix web applications for businesses that need them to actually work. Laravel and PHP on the back end, React and TypeScript on the front. I've been doing this for 19 years, currently as a Top Rated freelancer here, and most of that time on live production systems where downtime costs real money. What I'm most useful for: - Payment and API integrations. I've built and maintained Authorize.Net, Stripe, and PromoStandards integrations on live e-commerce platforms. This is the kind of work where one small mistake double-charges a customer or breaks an order feed. Whether an integration is misbehaving or you're starting one from scratch, this is my home turf. - Adding AI where it actually helps. I integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic) into real applications the same way I integrate any other API, into your existing Laravel or React codebase, with proper auth, error handling, and guardrails. On a live e-commerce platform I built a Claude vision feature that reads each product image and classifies its color family and tone, so the right light or dark logo is applied automatically across a large catalog instead of by hand. Beyond vision, I handle document and invoice extraction, search and Q&A over your own data (RAG), and workflows that use AI to take real actions instead of just generating text. If you've seen a slick demo but need it to survive real users and not fall over in production, that's the gap I close. - Rescuing PHP/Laravel projects that are in trouble. Inherited a codebase nobody understands? Something breaking under load in production? I spend a lot of my time firefighting on a live enterprise platform, so I'm comfortable walking into a mess, finding the real problem, and fixing it without breaking three other things. - Building Laravel and React products end to end. Custom SaaS, CRMs, internal tools, from the database and API up through the UI. When a project needs it, I also handle the infrastructure side, including AWS and queue-based processing for heavy jobs, so you're not left hiring a separate DevOps person. I work US hours, reply quickly, and I'd rather tell you something's a bad idea than quietly build it. Send me what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

    Senior iOS developer specializing in Swift, SwiftUI, and production-grade Apple-platform apps. I’m deeply specialized in SwiftUI and have pushed it to its limits across complex production apps: custom layouts, advanced state management, async data flows, navigation, animations, performance tuning, UIKit/AppKit interop, and large modular codebases. I help founders and teams turn product ideas into polished, maintainable iOS/macOS apps. My work usually spans architecture, implementation, UX judgment, debugging, integrations, and release readiness. I’m especially strong with offline-first apps, realtime sync, Apple ecosystem integrations, extensions, widgets, Siri/Shortcuts, Spotlight, and AI-powered product features. Clients usually bring me in when they need more than ticket execution: someone who can take initiative, make sound technical decisions, improve the product experience, and ship reliably.

    I build and ship complete software products — not prototypes, shipped products with real users and real revenue. Over the past year I've built and launched a portfolio of six live SaaS products as a solo builder using AI-accelerated development: a financial-operations app for a professional niche (App Store + Stripe + Apple in-app purchases), a real-time asset-tracking platform with 230+ professional users, a fully automated AI news engine that ingests, scores, rewrites, and publishes with zero human involvement, a least-cost-optimization platform for manufacturing, a workforce-scheduling system, and a bookkeeping app. Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Supabase/Postgres, Stripe, OpenAI, Capacitor (native iOS). Before software, I spent 25+ years running businesses: executive artist management in the music industry (Grammy-winning clients, brand partnerships with Chevrolet, Pepsi, and AT&T), a decade owning a restaurant and entertainment venue, and commercial real estate. I've sat on your side of the table — I scope like an owner, not a coder. What I do best: - MVPs that actually ship — idea to App Store/production in weeks - AI automation that replaces manual work: document/receipt OCR pipelines, automated content engines, notification systems, AI copilots on your data - Full-stack SaaS: auth, multi-tenant Postgres, Stripe billing, transactional email, admin consoles - Business websites done right — designed, built, launched fast on modern infrastructure, with optional managed hosting and care so you never think about it again I take a small number of projects and communicate like an operator: clear scope, honest trade-offs, working software.
