01 / What I doWhat I do

Lead the build, own the outcome.

Technical leadership, product engineering and growth knowledge in one practitioner: from architecture decisions to the page that ships.

01 / Leadership

Technical direction

Architecture decisions, code review and delivery planning for web, SaaS and mobile teams, with clear trade-offs instead of guesswork.

02 / Engineering

Systems that scale

Laravel, Node.js, React and Next.js applications, APIs and databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) deployed on Docker and VPS or cloud infrastructure.

03 / Growth

Fast and findable

Core Web Vitals, caching and technical SEO built into the product, so what ships loads quickly and can be discovered.

About: My approach

SaaS and web applications

Build on a reliable architecture.

From requirements to production: API design, data models, integrations and deployment, with the trade-offs explained along the way.

AI integration

Use AI where it earns its place.

Practical AI features and automation wired into existing software: assistants, content workflows and repetitive business processes.

Web performance and SEO

Make speed and visibility part of the build.

Years of technical SEO and Core Web Vitals work mean performance and crawlability are designed in, not patched on later.

02 / CapabilitiesCapabilities

Five areas, one engineering mindset.

Choose an area to see how I approach it and the tools I use.

Software architecture

Design the system before it starts shaping the team.

Service boundaries, data models, API contracts and deployment choices that keep a product maintainable as it grows.

Domain and data model

Clear boundaries so features can be added without rewrites.

API layer

Documented contracts and integrations that stay dependable.

Deployment

Docker, VPS and cloud setups with monitoring in mind.
