Developer snapshot

Full-stack engineer with 6+ years taking products from zero to production — owning delivery, iteration, and production stability. I've shipped AI-integrated platforms, multi-tenant SaaS, and real-time systems that real users depend on. I work directly with founders to turn ambiguous requirements into working software, use AI tooling (Cursor, Claude) as a force multiplier, and take full ownership of outcomes.

What I build

I take products from idea to production — UI, APIs, AI integrations, and the infra to run them. Here is where I spend most of my time; reach out if your problem sits across more than one bucket.

AI & cloud shipping

OpenAI, AWS, CI/CD

OpenAIAWSDocker

RAG pipelines, Whisper/LLM integrations, Pinecone — plus AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, and keeping systems stable after launch.
