About
Senior Full Stack Developer who builds SaaS products, MVPs and AI-powered web apps that ship on time and keep working after launch.
🏆 Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | $100K+ earned | 5,200+ hours on Upwork
Most founders who message me need one of three things: an idea turned into a working MVP, AI built properly into their product, or a half-finished app that a previous developer left behind. I handle all three end to end: frontend, backend, database, integrations and deployment.
🔹 AI INSIDE REAL PRODUCTS
I build AI features that work in production, not just in a demo:
- RAG systems: document search and question answering over your own data
- AI agents that take real actions through tool and function calling
- AI chatbots and assistants for support, sales and internal teams
- OpenAI / LLM integrations: content generation, document and resume screening, summarisation
All of it inside a proper app with authentication, payments, admin panels and monitoring.
🔹 WHAT ELSE I BUILD
- SaaS platforms & MVPs: user roles, Stripe payments, dashboards and admin panels
- Web applications in Next.js, React, Node.js and Laravel
- API integrations: payment gateways, third-party APIs and automation between systems
- Taking over existing projects: finishing, fixing and speeding them up
🔹 RECENT WORK
- AI/LLM web application delivered start to finish; in the client's words, it "looked and performed perfect"
- AI-powered resume screening web app built in Laravel
- Postgraduate admissions platform MVP with authentication, payments and an admin dashboard, built from scratch for a first-time founder
- Live Next.js + Supabase platform, finished and polished under a tight deadline
- Fantasy football injury platform pulling multiple data sources together so the site runs automatically
- 3,000+ hours as the long-term PHP / Vue.js developer on one client's product
Several clients have hired me again for second and third phases of their projects.
🔹 HOW I WORK
- Scope first: clear milestones and exactly what ships in version one
