Full-Stack Software Engineer | AI | B2B SaaS | MVPs | Audit & Strategy

👋 Hi! I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer with cutting-edge AI skills. I design and build SaaS platforms, AI automation workflows, internal tools for your team, and AI integrations for your existing stack. You're probably at one of these stages: - Idea & Problem: You have some idea of what the desired outcome looks like. - Audit & Strategy: You need someone to challenge you, test feasibility, and propose a direction. - Solution Design: You know clearly what you want and need a bridge to the technical side. - Build & Feedback Iterations: You know what the solution is and need someone to build it. - Launch: You already have the product and need to take it live for real users. - New Features & Integrations: You have a ready-to-use product and want to keep building on top of it. Once I sync with you on where you are, I can help you bring the idea you have in mind to life. I delight in developing solutions for your complex and challenging needs. On the other hand, complex solutions for complex ideas are not always the best. I offer you the simplest (not basic) and best-practice solutions that can scale with your business. I do this after fully understanding your needs. If your project needs: 🖥️ A custom B2B SaaS, full-stack web app or backend service 🎳 AI consulting: an audit of what you have, and where the ROI is 🦿 AI automation for a workflow you're doing by hand 🎃 An app built with Claude that now needs to go to production for real users 🤖 Custom AI agents for personal or team needs 💭 A niche problem you're starting to lose hope on. Definitely open to hearing it! Send me a message. I follow these principles in my work: 🦾 Scalable: I make things that can grow as your business grows. 🗺️ Understandable: Even though the solution is technical, I will prepare a high-level diagram that shows you the big picture and the whole flow. 📦 Reusable: I value modularity to save time in your various projects with similar functionalities. 💼 Industry Standards: I rely on proven engineering practices at the project's core. 🌱 Sustainability: I design solutions that need as little maintenance as possible from day one, and I support them long-term. As a versatile software engineer, I'd love to hear about your project or idea! I'll listen carefully to your needs and ensure the technical solution aligns perfectly with your requirements. We'll do this efficiently, saving you time and energy with extra attention to detail. 💻 Tech Stack & Tools I Use: 👉 Backend: Python, FastAPI, REST APIs, Server-Sent Events 👉 Frontend: React, TypeScript, TanStack, Zustand, React Router, Tailwind CSS, Vite 👉 Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Supabase 👉 Background Tasks: Celery, Redis, Google Cloud Run, Flower 👉 Development & Production: Docker Compose, Docker, Render, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Heroku, AWS 👉 Git, GitHub & Docker 👉 Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers & clients 👉 AI Coding Tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Codex 👉 OpenAI API (GPT, Whisper, TTS, Embeddings, DALL-E), Jev API, Groq, AWS SageMaker, AWS Bedrock, microsoft/autogen, VAPI (Voice AI), DeepSeek, Open Source Models, Gemini API (LLM Models & Nano Banana Pro), Claude API (Sonnet, Opus), fal.ai API 👉 Pinecone, pgvector for Postgres (Vector Database to store embeddings) 👉 Automation: n8n, Make, Zapier, Crawl4AI, Playwright, pandas 👉 APIs: Slack, Discord, Telegram, HubSpot, LemList, Instantly, Apollo, Anyemail Finder, LinkedIn, ClickUp, Webhooks, Fireflies (Call Transcription), AssemblyAI (Voice to Text), Automated PDF generation, Typeform, Ashby, Loxo, Polar.sh, Stripe - I pick up new tools fast, so this list is never a limit! A bit more about me: I like explaining how things work, which is how I ended up running a YouTube channel where I explained complicated technical things in a way anyone could follow. I also wrote a 10-hour course on backend architecture for Miuul, one of the bigger tech education platforms here.
