Need an app built? Or tired of repetitive work eating your team's week? I build it, or automate it with AI, and explain every step in plain English.
10+ years building software. Worked with
Sound familiar?
I have an idea for an app, but no technical co-founder.
I paid for software that never quite worked, or never got finished.
My team copies data between spreadsheets and tools all day.
I keep hearing about AI, but I can't tell where it would actually help my business.
Our product works, but it's slow, fragile, and scary to change.
I need one senior person I can trust to own this and explain it without jargon.
If any of these sound like you, let's talk.

Your idea becomes a real, working product your customers can use, built so it can grow without being rebuilt from scratch.
What that can look like
Tools I use: Python, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker
The repetitive tasks eating your team's week run themselves, with people stepping in only to make decisions.
What that can look like
Tools I use: AI language models (LLMs), Python, cloud services, CI/CD
How it works
We talk about what you're trying to achieve. No jargon, no hard sell, no obligation.
You get what I'd build, how long I expect it to take, and what it costs, before you commit to anything.
You see working progress every week and can change direction early, not after the money is spent.
Who you'll work with
I'm a software engineer with over ten years of experience helping founders and teams turn rough ideas into dependable software. I've worked with teams across several countries, from a Y Combinator-backed startup to an investment platform, and I'm used to translating between what the business needs and what the technology can do.
My approach is simple: move quickly without creating a mess you'll pay to clean up later. You get plain-English updates, honest advice (including "you don't need this yet"), and software the next developer can pick up easily.
Track record
Leading the technology for an investment platform: how it's built, how it connects to other services, and where it goes next.
Core engineering work on an AI-focused product.
Led product development, shipped backend services, ran weekly releases, and worked directly with customers to define what to build.
Co-founded the company and built its backend, while making the technical and product decisions.
Built key features for a student-advisor platform, including Google and Microsoft calendar connections.
Designed the backend, built REST APIs, and worked across product, DevOps, and data teams.
Questions
No. I explain everything in plain English, and I ask about your business first and the technology second.
It depends on what you need, so I don't quote blind. After our call I send a written scope and a clear estimate, so you know the cost before committing to anything.
Small, focused projects move quickly; bigger ones take longer. The written plan after our call includes a timeline, and you see working progress along the way.
That's a perfectly good starting point. The intro call is for working it out together, and sometimes the answer is a simple fix rather than a big build.
