Freelance & Consulting

Buy me a coffee ☕

Or better yet, hire me for a project. I take on a small number of freelance engagements at a time. If the problem is interesting, I'm probably in.

Fractional Tech Lead

Need a senior engineer to own architecture decisions, mentor the team, and ship, without a full-time hire? I slot in, raise the bar, and leave the codebase better than I found it.

Let's talk architecture

Backend & API Engineering

From zero to production-grade. REST APIs, background queues, database design, caching layers. I build backends that don't fall over at 3am.

Get a solid backend

AI Integration & Pipelines

RAG pipelines, LLM integration, local models, prediction systems. I turn AI from a buzzword into a working feature inside your product.

Add AI to your stack

SaaS Product Build

Got an idea and need someone to build the whole thing? Full stack, infrastructure, auth, billing, end to end. From zero to launched.

Build my SaaS

Not sure what you need?

Just email me. We'll figure it out over a (virtual) coffee.
