If you're looking to hire a freelance full-stack developer to build or upgrade a web or mobile application, or looking to add a new member to join your growing team, let's connect. Specializing in full-stack application development since 2013, I have been responsible for every stage of a program's lifecycle. From complex, data-driven applications utilizing TSql and Web APIs to custom and creative tools built upon Umbraco CMS, I thrive on analytical programming challenges and learning new technologies including Blazor Hybrid, Unity 3D, and even AI integration. And 'YES', I also do Umbraco upgrades from Umbraco 4 to Umbraco 17. What sets me apart today is not just my 13+ years of development experience — it's how I've embraced AI as a collaborative development partner. Using Claude AI as my primary tool, I've measurably accelerated project delivery without sacrificing quality or control. A prime example: the Underground Prepper app took 11 months to build as a web-based platform, then was completely rebuilt as a richer, multi-platform native app in just 4 months — working side-by-side with AI, piece by piece, testing each component as we went. In short: I literally dream in code.
