Stack

Skills & tooling I ship with

Stack up front, then deeper services — a practical slice of what I use on real roadmaps for SaaS, mobile, and AI work.

Next.js & React

App Router, server components where they help, and client UX that stays fast.

TypeScript everywhere

Shared types across web, API, and tooling — fewer surprises in prod.

APIs & NestJS

Modular backends, auth, queues, and integrations you can extend.

Data & Postgres

Schema design, migrations, and queries tuned for real workloads.

React Native

Cross-platform apps with native modules when the product needs them.

Cloud & delivery

Dockerized services, CI/CD habits, and sensible cloud defaults.

AI & LLM features

RAG, evals, streaming UX, and guardrails — shipped, not slide decks.

Maps & realtime

MapLibre, geospatial APIs, and live dashboards that stay responsive.

What I deliver

AI-native full-stack ownership from idea to shipped product

One engineer who spans frontend, backend, mobile, and AI — so you spend less time coordinating and more time launching.

SaaS & web applications

Full-cycle product work from MVP to scale — Next.js, React, NestJS, and APIs that stay maintainable.

Backend & infrastructure

Distributed systems, Docker, queues, and data pipelines built for reliability and measurable throughput.

Mobile applications

Cross-platform React Native apps shipped to real users with auth, device features, and solid UX.

AI-native product engineering

LLM features, RAG, evals, and UX that make models safe and useful in production — not demos.

AI workflow automation

Connect systems with reliable automations: document pipelines, alerts, internal tools, and human-in-the-loop flows.

Selected work

Case studies from real client engagements

Production systems shipped for product teams and direct clients — each card links to the organization, repo, or a way to reach me.
