Full-Stack AI & SaaS Developer | MVPs, APIs & Backend

I build SaaS products and business applications with AI capabilities that are ready for real users, not just demos. Most MVPs break when users, payments, or workflows get complex. I design systems that handle that from day one, so you don't end up rebuilding your product 6 months later. Whether you're launching fast or fixing a messy backend, I focus on building something stable, scalable, and production-ready. I specialize in systems where multiple users, roles, and workflows need to work together reliably. Many of the systems I fix worked initially, but weren't designed to handle growth- that's exactly what I help prevent. What you get working with me: • Build for production from day one • Clean backend architecture that supports growth • Reliable authentication, payments, and workflows that keep teams productive as they grow • Clear communication with predictable progress Recent work includes: • multi-role users (admin / client / vendor) with complex workflows • subscription and billing systems that support recurring revenue • API-driven dashboards and internal tools that reduce manual work • AI-powered features integrated into real products What I typically build: • SaaS MVPs and dashboards • User authentication, roles, and permissions • AI-powered features (OpenAI / API-driven workflows) • Internal tools to replace spreadsheets and manual ops • Integrations (payments, CRMs, third-party APIs) I work best with: • Early-stage founders • Small product teams • Businesses turning internal workflows into SaaS products How I work: • Clear scope before writing code • Simple architecture that can scale later • Weekly progress updates • Production-quality code from day one • The goal is simple: build something that works now and continues to work as your product grows -- without constant rewrites. Tech stack (focused & relevant): Frontend: React, Next.js, Typescript Backend: Node.js, Nestjs, APIs, auth systems Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB Integrations: Payments (Stripe), AI APIs, OAuth, Webhooks Whether you're building a new product or improving an existing one, my focus is to help you launch with confidence and avoid expensive rewrites later.
