Michael T.

I build polished, production-grade web apps in React, Next.js, and TypeScript — and I wire real AI features into them that actually ship. For 10 years I've worked across the full front-end stack: React (hooks, context, performance), Next.js App Router (Server Components + Server Actions), TypeScript end to end, and TailwindCSS with reusable component/design systems (shadcn/Radix). I also build cross-platform mobile with React Native / Expo. What sets me apart is the second half — I integrate AI into real product workflows: natural-language search, document Q&A (RAG) with citations, vision/OCR extraction, streaming chat, structured data extraction, and support triage. My portfolio is eight working apps, all on one shared, typed component library — not slides, live software you can click. A few things clients tell me they value: • I own features end to end, from requirement to launch. I'm the founder of a production SaaS platform a company runs its daily operations on, so I build for correctness, not just demos. • Clean, maintainable, strongly-typed code and a real eye for UX. • Clear communication and follow-through. (10 years shipping; U.S. Army veteran — reliability is the baseline, not the pitch.) I'm a strong fit if you need: - A React/Next.js front-end built or leveled up — dashboards, data-dense UIs, design systems - Claude/LLM features added to an existing product - A full AI-powered feature or MVP built end to end Tell me what you're building and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it. Happy to walk through the live demos on a quick call.
