AI & Web Expert | Designer | Custom Software

I build websites and custom software right the first time, so you're not paying to redo it later. As a Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Manager with 9+ years at a top FAANG company, I work with founders and small business owners who don't have an engineering team and can't afford to get the technical side wrong. I own it end to end, from the first architecture call to the launched product. I take on whatever role fits what you're building, whether that's Founding Engineer, Technical Lead, or Fractional CTO. How I help launch and scale your business: - Architecture and system design, so the foundation holds when you grow - Full-stack and AI development in React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, and AWS (Lambda, serverless, microservices) - LLM and RAG features, chatbots, and automation that cut manual work - Engineering leadership when you need someone to own delivery How I work, so there are no surprises: - We agree on a written spec, and I don't write code until you approve it - Fixed price, agreed before we start - A 30-day warranty after launch, so anything that breaks gets fixed at no cost - You keep full ownership of the code, always In previous roles, I built and led platforms that processed over 1M applications and RAG-powered chatbots handling 50K+ conversations a month. I built an email platform sending up to 91K emails a week at 99.58% delivery. I know how to build at that scale, and I know how to do it with a team of two. My Upwork Job Success Score is 100%. Send me a message about what you're building. I'll tell you how I can help.
