15+ years. Dozens of products shipped. One consistent focus is building systems that don't break when your business grows.
If you're a founder or product team looking for a technical lead who can guide decisions, not just execute tasks, that's exactly what I do.
I work with startups, scale-ups, and established businesses to take ideas from early concept through to stable, scalable products. Whether that's an MVP you need to validate quickly, a mobile app ready for real users, or a SaaS platform built to grow, I stay closely involved on the technical side while keeping the broader product direction on track.

Most developers will build what you ask for. My job is to make sure what we build is the right thing and that it won't need a full rebuild when your user base grows or your requirements change.
That means asking the right questions early, flagging trade-offs before they become expensive problems, and making sure every technical decision connects back to your business goals.

Each of these industries comes with its own operational and technical challenges. Having worked across all of them means I can move faster, ask better questions, and avoid the mistakes that slow teams down.

I value long-term collaboration over quick handoffs. Many of the clients I've worked with have stayed through multiple development stages, because when a team understands your product deeply, the work gets better and faster over time.
My working style is direct and transparent. You'll always know where things stand, what decisions are coming, and why I'm recommending what I am. No technical jargon for its own sake, just clear communication that keeps the project moving.
Where projects require it, I work with a trusted team of developers I have built and managed over the years. Every team member works under my direct supervision, and I remain the primary technical lead and client point of contact throughout. This means you get the reliability of working with a senior lead alongside the delivery capacity of a full team.

I use AI tools like Claude as part of my development workflow. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster without cutting corners.
In practice, that means using AI to accelerate repetitive groundwork, explore approaches quickly, and pressure-test logic, while every piece of code that goes into a production system is reviewed, understood, and validated by me before it ships.
I don't copy code blindly. AI handles speed. Experience handles judgment. The combination means you get faster delivery without the hidden technical debt that comes from unreviewed, auto-generated code.

If you're building any of the following, I'd like to hear about it:
• A mobile app: iOS, Android, or cross-platform
• A SaaS product or startup MVP
• A scalable web application or backend system
• A platform that's grown beyond its original architecture
Send me a short brief describing what you're building and where you're stuck. I'll review it and come back with honest thoughts on approach, timeline, and what to watch out for.
