Raymond M.
Sr. Full-Stack Engineer | 20+ Yrs | AI, AWS, React, Node, PHP, SQL ...
I build automation and AI systems that replace manual work, reduce operational costs, and make teams faster without adding headcount. I run a consulting firm where I take projects from "this is painful and messy" to a production-ready solution that actually gets used. I've founded and scaled companies to 7-figure revenue, led engineering teams across three countries, and held VP of Engineering and CTO roles - so I bring business judgment to every technical decision, not just code. What I do best: Workflow automation - Turn repetitive processes into reliable automations: integrations, approvals, notifications, and data pipelines. If your team does it manually every week, there's a better way. AI implementation - Practical AI features that drive real outcomes: document processing, intelligent routing, predictive insights, and process optimization. No demos that fall apart on real data. Full-stack delivery - Scoping, architecture, build, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Stack: Python, Node.js, React, PHP / Laravel, WordPress, AWS, Docker - full-stack from UI to database to cloud. No hand-wavy prototypes. Systems & DevOps - Dockerized deployments, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS / GCP), security-minded design, and maintainable code your team can own and extend. Client enablement - Clear communication, documentation, and mentorship so your team isn't dependent on me after handoff. How I work: I start by identifying the highest-ROI workflow, map the current process, define success metrics, and build in small testable increments. The result is measurable, compliant where needed, and stable in production. I've delivered across healthcare, logistics, ecommerce, and government - regulated environments where reliability isn't optional - so I build to that standard whether or not you require it. If you have a process that's costing time every week or a backlog of "we should automate this," message me with your workflow and your goal. I'll tell you what's feasible, what's not worth doing, and the fastest path to results.
