Full-Stack Development

Production-ready code that ships

Start building

Three pillars, one foundation

A holistic approach to building, advising, and empowering your technical team.

Build

Ship production-ready products in weeks, not months.

I don't just write code. I build complete products. From architecture to deployment, you get a working solution ready for real users.

Advise

Strategy for reality, not fantasy.

Technical decisions have business consequences. I help you navigate architecture choices, team scaling, and AI integration without the consultancy BS.

Empower

Your AI, your rules.

I'll set up your personal AI assistant trained on your workflows, connected to your tools, working while you sleep. And teach you how to use it.

AI Integration

Build intelligent features,
not just chatbots

Multi-agent systems

Not a single chatbot, but a team of specialized AI agents working together. Each with their own expertise, tools, and memory.

Specialized expertise per agent
Tool-calling with real system access
Memory that persists across sessions
Analyze Q4 sales and create a report
Connected to database
Analysis complete
Generating PDF...

Production-ready

Code that works on day one, not demo-ware that breaks in production.

Cost-optimized

Smart model routing and caching to keep your AI bills manageable.

Your codebase

Integrates with your existing stack. No vendor lock-in, you own everything.

Context-aware

AI that knows your business, your docs, your customers. Not generic chatbots.

Agentic Development

AI-native codebases that ship faster

I optimize development environments for AI-assisted coding. Click to see the difference.

Standard AI Development

How most teams use AI assistants

Random Exploration

AI re-discovers your codebase every single task

Context Evaporates

Session ends = knowledge gone

Isolated Decisions

No shared memory across team members

Constant Interruptions

Manual approval for every command

Result: 30-50% of AI time wasted on context gathering

Want this for your codebase?

The Real Value

AI-native from day one.
Not bolted on later.

I don't just build features. I architect your entire stack with AI woven into the foundation. This creates a competitive moat that compounds over time.

The upside is massive

When executed well, this unlocks millions in value as you scale. Operations that need 10 people run with 2. Decisions that took weeks happen in hours.

The hard truth

What I build is a catalyst, not a magic wand. The AI-native stack, the optimized workflows... it's fuel. Your execution determines the result.

Technology

Solutions I Deliver

I adapt to your needs. Whether it's your existing stack or a greenfield project, I build what works best for your business.

Full-Stack Apps

React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL

AI Integration

OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, RAG

Cloud & Scale

AWS, GCP, Vercel, Docker, K8s

Not limited to these. Custom solutions always possible. See how I build →

How I can work with you

Project-based

You have something specific. I scope it, build it, done. Clear deliverables, clear timeline.

  • MVP development
  • Feature builds
  • Code rescue missions
  • AI integration

Partnership

You want someone in your corner. Monthly retainer with strategy, building, AI, whatever you need.

  • Direct access to me
  • Me + my AI on your problems
  • Flexible scope each month
  • Not a community, just value
Always-on advisor

A senior engineer in your pocket.

No scoping calls. No SOWs. Just message me when you need help.

  • Message me anytime. I respond within 24 hours.
  • Code reviews when you need them.
  • Architecture and technical decisions, talked through.
  • I talk to your dev directly and tell them what to fix.
  • AI integration guidance from someone who actually builds with it.
  • Cancel anytime. No contracts.

Monthly retainer. Simple. Reach out and we figure out the rest.

Let's talk

Think of it as having a CTO on speed dial, without the salary.
