Mobile Apps, SaaS & Trading Bots | Full-Stack Engineer (ex-USAA)

I build mobile apps, multi-tenant SaaS and trading tools, and I get them live and keep them running. Mobile: I've taken apps through App Store and Google Play review, including fixing rejections. CrewLead is live on both, and I took a founder's prototype to a live iOS app in TestFlight with real users (5-star review). SaaS: I build multi-tenant apps where each customer only sees their own data, with roles, payments and row-level security. Yamoreh, my college software, is used daily by 70+ students and 20 faculty and staff. Stetsn CRM is used by 100 real estate agents. Trading: I've traded options with my own money for 6 years. I built and ran a Python bot on the Schwab API that traded live across two of my accounts: auth, market data, orders, monitoring and Discord alerts. Where I've done it USAA (Fortune 500 bank), 4 years: sole backend engineer on two credit card platforms. On the first USAA team to pilot AI-assisted development; built the public Storefront in 3 months. Ran release nights with rollback authority. First tech hire at a $20M construction company: built 4 production apps, integrated ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Stripe, Ramp, Twilio and Microsoft Graph, and cut a monthly compliance task from 12 hours to 30 minutes. What I build iOS and Android apps with React Native, plus App Store and Google Play launches Multi-tenant SaaS: Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, auth, roles and row-level security Trading bots, scanners, alerts, journals and backtesting AI features with Claude and OpenAI Turning prototypes or AI-built apps (Lovable, Cursor, Replit) into real products Stack: Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node, Java, Postgres, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, GitHub Actions. You hear from me while the work is happening, not after. Send me the details and I'll tell you straight if I'm the right fit.
