I'm a freelance developer who builds web apps, AI-powered tools, and the occasional embedded prototype. Most of my work is full-stack JavaScript — React, Next JS, Node — shipping production apps for clients across a range of industries. Some of those live inside the Shopify ecosystem (I've built 4 public apps, 20+ private ones, and worked on 100+ stores), but plenty don't. I love the constant context-switching and learning curve that comes with this kind of work. I generally take on one project at a time so I can focus all my attention on it, bundle it up, and cleanly hand it off. It lets me outpace most agencies and developers, and the client gets a finished thing instead of a half-built one. Web & software stack: - JavaScript / TypeScript / Node JS - Python (scripting, automation, ML/AI tooling) - React, Next JS, Remix - Express, Koa, REST + GraphQL APIs - MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis - Tailwind, Framer Motion, modern frontend tooling - AWS, Vercel, Fly, Cloudflare AI work: - OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and open-source LLM integration - RAG pipelines and vector databases (Pinecone, pgvector) - Fine-tuning, prompt engineering, agentic workflows - Building AI tooling into existing products (content generation, support, recommendations, automation) Embedded / prototyping: - C and embedded C for microcontroller firmware - ESP32, MQTT, NFC provisioning - React-based dashboards for device fleets - End-to-end IoT product flows (hardware → broker → web app) Shopify (when it fits): - Admin & Storefront APIs, App Bridge - Liquid, Theme Extensions, Checkout Extensions - POS UI Extensions - Public app development and private store automations Check out my portfolio on Upwork for examples, or reach out for more recent ones! A bit about me — I'm a developer based in Fort Collins, Colorado. I've been shipping web apps professionally since 2019, and the goal has always been to build enough of my own products (or land a one-hit wonder) to support myself off the somewhat passive revenue while taking on the client work I find most interesting. I'm looking to travel more when work allows, and someday I'd love a few acres and a tiny home with a bit of distance between the neighbors.
