Full-stack developer based in San Francisco (PST). I take founders from idea to a live, production app, fast, and with senior-level execution. In the past year I've shipped 5 products end-to-end: • ChekBack - a receipt-cashback app • PhotoOffice - an AI passport-photo service • ChessTourism - a chess-tournament platform • Pluto - a field-service management system for home-service companies • MotoSocial - a social network for motorcyclists Each one went from concept to deployment, including auth, payments, integrations, and infrastructure. Why clients work with me: • US-based, real-time overlap with your business hours • Native, clear English on calls and in writing • Senior delivery - I ship working software, not just plans • I stay with you until your app is published - I never leave you alone with your issues or concerns • Warranty after delivery - if something breaks on my work, I fix it, no extra charge Core stack: React, React Native, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL. Also: Python (FastAPI/Django), Expo, Redis, AWS/Hetzner/Cloudflare, CI/CD, REST & GraphQL, CRM and third-party integrations. Best fit for: founders and startups who need an MVP or full product built right, the first time. Send me your idea and I'll reply with a rough scope and timeline. No charge.
