I'm a founding engineer at a SaaS company by day. That means I've lived the "we need this working by Friday" life — and it shapes how I take on client work. Most freelancers I've seen either overengineer (three weeks on infrastructure for an MVP) or underengineer (something that ships fast and breaks the moment real users touch it). I sit in the middle, because that's what shipping actual products taught me. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 • SaaS platforms — dashboards, multi-tenancy, billing, auth • Fintech apps — payments, compliance-conscious, tested • AI-integrated products — LLM features that earn their place, not chatbots for the sake of it • Mobile apps — one codebase, native feel 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿 • 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 & 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 — React, Next.js, Flutter, FlutterFlow, React Native (Expo) • 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 — Node.js, Go, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB • 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 — Docker, Vercel, Cloudflare, GCP, self-hosted VPS • 𝗔𝗜 & 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter APIs, MCP servers & integrations, n8n, workflow automation • 𝗗𝗲𝘃 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 — Claude Code, GitHub-first, CI/CD 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 • I ask the questions your product needs answered before I open the editor • I tell you when your idea can be simpler — or when it needs to be more • I ship in small pieces so you see progress, not slides • Clean code because it serves the product, not because it looks nice in a repo 3+ years, remote-first, comfortable with async teams across timezones. If you're a founder, PM, or agency lead who needs someone who moves fast without cutting the corners that matter — send me a message with what you're building and where you're stuck. Even a paragraph is enough for me to tell you how I'd approach it.
