Software Architect | Full Stack | Mobile Apps | MERN | CRM | AI | MEAN

Over the past 14+ years, I've designed, architected, built, and successfully delivered 100+ web and mobile applications, SaaS platforms, AI-driven and cloud-native solutions, CRM systems, and business applications for clients across the US, EU, Middle East, and beyond, working directly with founders, CTOs, and product teams across different time zones. I specialize in designing and building software that is fast, secure, scalable, and maintainable from MVPs and startups to complex, enterprise-grade production systems. I can work as your Software Architect, Full Stack Developer, Technical Lead, or complete development partner, depending on what your project needs. I also manage the infrastructure and deployment side, so you can deal with one person from architecture and code to cloud and production. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 WHAT I BUILD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ Software Architecture & Technical Solution Design ✔ Custom Web Applications & SaaS Platforms ✔ Full-Stack Applications using MERN, MEAN, Laravel & Node.js ✔ Mobile Applications & API-driven Mobile Solutions ✔ CRM & Business Management Systems ✔ ERP & Enterprise Applications ✔ AI-powered Applications & Chatbot Automation ✔ WordPress: Custom Themes, Plugins, WooCommerce & Headless CMS ✔ Shopify Storefronts & eCommerce Solutions ✔ REST API Development & Third-Party Integrations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 FULL-STACK TECHNOLOGIES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Laravel, CodeIgniter, PHP Frontend: React.js, Angular, Vue.js, Next.js, TailwindCSS Mobile: React Native & API-driven Mobile Applications Databases: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL Architecture: REST APIs, SaaS, Multi-tenant Systems, Scalable Applications CMS / eCommerce: WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 INFRASTRUCTURE & DEVOPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ AWS — EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront, Route 53, SES ✔ VPS, Dedicated & Shared Hosting ✔ Linux, Nginx, Apache, cPanel/WHM ✔ Docker & CI/CD Pipelines ✔ Git / Bitbucket ✔ Monitoring with New Relic & CloudWatch ✔ Production Deployment, Performance Optimization & Server Management ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 INTEGRATIONS I'VE SHIPPED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ Payments: Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Authorize.Net ✔ CRM: Zoho CRM, Zoho One, Customerio ✔ AI: OpenAI / LLM-powered integrations and automation ✔ Communications: Twilio SMS/Voice & Email Automation ✔ Remittance & Banking APIs ✔ Logistics & 3PL APIs ✔ eCommerce & Shopify APIs ✔ Custom REST APIs & Third-Party Integrations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 WHY CLIENTS KEEP COMING BACK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✔ 14+ years of software development experience ✔ 100+ projects delivered across multiple industries and markets ✔ Direct, responsive communication — I work across US, EU & Middle East time zones ✔ I've led teams of 9–15 developers, so I understand both code and project delivery ✔ I treat your deadline like my own — 100+ projects delivered on time ✔ I understand both technical architecture and business requirements ✔ I can work independently or lead and coordinate an entire development team ✔ Full post-launch support and a long-term partnership mindset Whether you need a Software Architect to design your system, a Full Stack Developer to build it, a team lead to manage development, or someone who can take ownership from architecture through production, I've done all of it.
