I build AI-powered systems that run real businesses — not demos. My focus: agentic workflows, LLM integrations (Claude, GPT, open-source models), RAG pipelines, automation at scale, and the production backend engineering that makes AI reliable in regulated and high-stakes environments. I work with Python, TypeScript, Django, Node, React, and modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) to deliver end-to-end — from architecture through deployment. What I deliver today: - Multi-agent orchestration systems with tool calling, memory, and human-in-the-loop controls - AI-powered data extraction, classification, and enrichment pipelines at scale - Automation engines connecting CRMs, APIs, and business tools (n8n, Make, Zapier, custom) - Full-stack SaaS applications with AI features built in, not bolted on - CI/CD, ETL, and DevOps infrastructure that keeps AI systems production-grade I use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code) as a daily multiplier in my own development workflow — it shows in speed and output quality. Background: 30+ years in software and infrastructure. I built and sold a million-dollar IT services company, then founded a software development firm where I've shipped production systems across fintech, healthcare, real estate, music, cybersecurity, and more. I've survived the dot-com crash, the Great Recession, and every hype cycle in between — I know the difference between technology that works and technology that just demos well. If you need an AI system that is accurate, auditable, and built to last — not just impressive in a pitch deck — let's talk.

I help startups and product teams build, modernize, and scale SaaS platforms using Ruby on Rails, React, Next.js, Python, Django, and FastAPI. My work covers full stack product development, backend APIs, frontend systems, AI integrations, workflow automation, and performance optimization. I build production-ready software that is maintainable, scalable, and aligned with real business goals. I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 11+ years of experience delivering software for startups and enterprise teams. I’ve worked across SaaS platforms, internal tools, customer-facing products, automation systems, and AI-enabled applications. What I can help you with: • Ruby on Rails, Django, FastAPI, Flask, Python, Node.js, Express • React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, modern frontend architecture • REST APIs, GraphQL, third-party integrations, authentication • SaaS platforms, multi-tenant systems, admin dashboards, internal tools • AI features including LLM workflows, RAG systems, semantic search, vector search, and custom assistants • Automation pipelines, ETL workflows, reporting systems, and background jobs • PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, database design and optimization • AWS, Docker, CI/CD, caching, monitoring, and scaling strategy I focus on practical engineering. That means clean architecture, readable code, reliable delivery, and solutions that work well in production, not just in demos. I’m a strong fit if you need help with: • Building or scaling a SaaS product • Modernizing a Rails or Python application • Creating APIs and integrations • Adding AI features to an existing platform • Refactoring legacy code into a cleaner, faster architecture • Launching an MVP quickly with room to scale If you need a senior engineer who can own the full stack, communicate clearly, and ship solid product work, I’d be glad to help.

15+ years. Dozens of products shipped. One consistent focus is building systems that don't break when your business grows. If you're a founder or product team looking for a technical lead who can guide decisions, not just execute tasks, that's exactly what I do. I work with startups, scale-ups, and established businesses to take ideas from early concept through to stable, scalable products. Whether that's an MVP you need to validate quickly, a mobile app ready for real users, or a SaaS platform built to grow, I stay closely involved on the technical side while keeping the broader product direction on track. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 Most developers will build what you ask for. My job is to make sure what we build is the right thing and that it won't need a full rebuild when your user base grows or your requirements change. That means asking the right questions early, flagging trade-offs before they become expensive problems, and making sure every technical decision connects back to your business goals. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 • Mobile Applications — iOS, Android & Cross-Platform • Full-Stack Web Applications & SaaS Platforms • MVP Builds from idea to working product, fast • API Development & Third-Party Integrations • Backend Architecture built for scale • Technical Strategy & Product Planning for founders 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 Healthcare & Mental Wellness · Fitness & Sports · Real Estate · Freight & Logistics · Education & E-Learning · Food & Beverage · Financial Services · Social & Community Platforms Each of these industries comes with its own operational and technical challenges. Having worked across all of them means I can move faster, ask better questions, and avoid the mistakes that slow teams down. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 I value long-term collaboration over quick handoffs. Many of the clients I've worked with have stayed through multiple development stages, because when a team understands your product deeply, the work gets better and faster over time. My working style is direct and transparent. You'll always know where things stand, what decisions are coming, and why I'm recommending what I am. No technical jargon for its own sake, just clear communication that keeps the project moving. Where projects require it, I work with a trusted team of developers I have built and managed over the years. Every team member works under my direct supervision, and I remain the primary technical lead and client point of contact throughout. This means you get the reliability of working with a senior lead alongside the delivery capacity of a full team. 𝗔𝗜-𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 I use AI tools like Claude as part of my development workflow. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster without cutting corners. In practice, that means using AI to accelerate repetitive groundwork, explore approaches quickly, and pressure-test logic, while every piece of code that goes into a production system is reviewed, understood, and validated by me before it ships. I don't copy code blindly. AI handles speed. Experience handles judgment. The combination means you get faster delivery without the hidden technical debt that comes from unreviewed, auto-generated code. 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 If you're building any of the following, I'd like to hear about it: • A mobile app: iOS, Android, or cross-platform • A SaaS product or startup MVP • A scalable web application or backend system • A platform that's grown beyond its original architecture Send me a short brief describing what you're building and where you're stuck. I'll review it and come back with honest thoughts on approach, timeline, and what to watch out for.
