About

I build and ship full-stack products. From rough idea to production code. What I do: Turn vague problems into shipping solutions. I think like a founder, work like an engineer. Take ownership of entire product areas and deliver. Track record: Built 7.7M SKU enterprise platform from scratch. Still in production, still scaling. Shipped 15 freelance products with zero failures. AI Tools App went from idea to live product. Workflow Builder from concept to deployment. Every project shipped and maintained. What I'm good at: Moving fast without cutting corners. Understanding user problems and architecting solutions. Full-stack ownership with no excuses. Making technology choices that fit the problem. Shipping in weeks, not months. Staying reliable in production. How I work: Understand the problem. Design the solution. Build it. Ship it. Maintain it. No excuses. Best opportunities: Taking on entire product areas. Building products with founders. Moving fast in scrappy startups. Taking ownership and delivering results. Not interested in: Long debate cycles. Bloat. Committees. Theory without execution. Available now for: Contract product engineering, co-founding conversations, advisory roles where I can directly impact shipping.
