What a project with me looks like

No account managers, no hand-offs. You talk to the person writing the code, at every step.

1

Scope

We turn your idea into a plain-language plan with an honest estimate: what gets built first, what can wait, and what it will cost.

2

Build

You see working software early and often, not a big reveal at the end. Progress updates in plain English, every week.

3

Run

I handle deployment, monitoring, and backups. After launch I stick around, so your product keeps working as your business grows.

Recent work

Client work is confidential, so names stay private. The substance doesn't: every project below ran in production with real users and real money on the line.

Payments & retail

Gift card processing platform

Owned performance across a platform handling thousands of transactions a week. Profiled slow paths, fixed the data layer, and cut a reporting export from minutes to seconds.

PHP, MySQL, performance tuning

Healthcare

HIPAA-regulated patient platform

Technical lead for a teletherapy platform serving 100,000+ users. Ran releases and deployments, built patient workflows and dashboards, and integrated Stripe, Twilio, and Zoom.

Laravel, Vue.js, AWS, HIPAA

Operations

Internal employee management system

Designed and built from scratch: field work, expenses, payroll, and reporting for a team of ~20 managing hundreds of client accounts. Used every day since launch.

Full build, MySQL, reporting

Applied AI

AI support assistant

A retrieval-based assistant that answers from a company's own documentation, kept current automatically by a scraper. Built as a working product demo, not a toy.

Node.js, RAG, vector search
