Full-Stack Architect & CTO | R&D to Production | 40+ Products

You have a product vision that's too complex for most developers. Maybe your last hire got stuck. Maybe you've been told it "can't be done." I'm the one who builds it — and I've been doing it for 10+ years for clients like NBC, BBC, CBS, and Rolls-Royce. I'm a 2x CTO and full-stack architect. I don't just code features — I take a concept, architect the system, plan the execution, build across every layer, and ship to production. 40+ products delivered across 10+ countries. Here's what that looks like: BUILT A FULL IOT TRACKING PLATFORM — ALONE — ACROSS 5 PLATFORMS iOS app, Android app, React web portal, Java Spring Boot microservices, Unreal Engine 3D visualization. 3,000 beacons deployed across industrial facilities. 5,000+ workers and 1,000+ spare parts tracked daily. Custom signal-processing algorithms I designed from scratch for environments where BLE signals bounce off metal walls. The CTO of Rolls-Royce Finland wanted to license it for their factory plants. Still running in production 7 years later. REBUILT AN ENTERPRISE MEDIA PLATFORM FOR NBC, BBC, CBS, AND THE TIMES Replaced a browser-based tool with a native macOS application. 15-20x performance improvement. FFMPEG integration, Core ML, hardware-accelerated encoding. The platform is now used every day to tag, search, and transcode terabytes of video for some of the biggest names in media. Promoted from developer to senior developer in 6 months. TOOK A VR STARTUP FROM ZERO TO ACQUISITION OFFERS AS CTO Architected a 4-component ecosystem from a blank canvas: Swift macOS app, Unity VR mobile (iOS/Android), React/Next.js web platform, TypeScript/Firebase backend. Pioneered features no competitor has replicated — ARKit spatial tracking with sub-10ms latency, XR passthrough at 60 FPS. Five years of R&D. Now fielding acquisition offers. CO-FOUNDED A SOFTWARE HOUSE — 15 ENTERPRISE PROJECTS IN 3 YEARS Built and trained a team of 18 developers. Replaced a six-figure German ERP quote with a custom solution: offline-first sync, POS integration, CCTV integration across 7 branches. Launched Egypt's first fresh meat e-commerce platform. Ran two CTO roles simultaneously. WHAT I DO FOR YOU Full-Stack Product Development You bring the idea or the problem. I deliver the product. End to end. React / Next.js / TypeScript on the web. Swift across all 7 Apple platforms. React Native for cross-platform. Node.js / Firebase / Java on the backend. AWS, Docker, CI/CD for infrastructure. R&D & Execution Planning This is where I'm different. I don't just build — I figure out what to build and how. System architecture, technology selection, PRDs, implementation roadmaps, risk analysis. I've done this for VR training simulations, industrial IoT systems, multi-platform consumer apps, and enterprise ERP. You get a concrete plan, not a guess. Technical Consulting & Advisory Architecture reviews. Performance audits. Legacy modernization. Team scaling. I've scaled engineering teams from 2 to 20+, designed modular architectures for distributed teams, and created documentation systems (100+ technical docs, 46 UML diagrams) that make knowledge transfer seamless. MY STACK Web: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript Mobile: Swift (iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS), React Native, Flutter Backend: Node.js, Firebase, Java Spring Boot, Python, .NET Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD Specialized: Unity (VR/AR), ARKit, Core ML, BLE/RFID (IoT), Unreal Engine WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME AT THIS RATE - NBC, BBC, CBS, The Times, Rolls-Royce — I've delivered for names that don't tolerate mediocre work - 2x CTO — promoted to CTO at CanterVR in 4 months from Senior Developer - Every system I've built is either still running or was deliberately sunset — nothing I ship breaks and gets abandoned - Engagements that start as 3-month contracts turn into multi-year partnerships - I've shipped across media, manufacturing, VR, e-commerce, logistics, marine tech, and healthcare HOW I WORK - I own the outcome, not just the tasks - Daily progress updates, live demos, zero surprises - If something won't work, I'll tell you before you waste money on it - I move fast but I don't cut corners — production code, not prototype code Tell me what you're building. I'll tell you exactly how I'd make it happen — and if I'm not the right fit, I'll say that too.
