Senior Full Stack Engineer with 12+ years of experience building SaaS platforms, marketplaces and complex web applications using Node.js, React, Next.js, Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
Companies usually reach out to me when their business has outgrown the way their product was originally built.
At that stage, the product has already become part of the business.
New features take longer to ship.
The architecture that once worked now slows the team down.
Small changes unexpectedly break other parts of the system.
Engineering decisions start affecting business decisions.
That's where I do my best work.
For the past 10+ years, I've worked with SaaS companies, marketplaces, AI products, and transaction-heavy platforms that needed more than another developer. They needed someone who could understand how the product actually works, make good engineering decisions, and continue evolving it without creating unnecessary technical debt.
I don't start by asking which framework you use.
I start by understanding how your business works.
Because good technical decisions come from understanding the business first.
Once I understand that, I help teams modernize legacy systems, simplify complex business logic, improve architecture, build reliable APIs, redesign payment and subscription workflows, optimize performance, and prepare products for the next stage of growth.
Most of my work involves products that already have customers, revenue, and years of future evolution ahead of them.
If you're looking for the cheapest developer to build an MVP as quickly as possible, I'm probably not the right fit.
If your product has become one of your company's most valuable assets and you need someone who can take ownership of complex engineering problems, I'd be happy to talk.
