I'm a senior full-stack engineer that founders and small teams hire when they need someone to own the build, not just close tickets. My recent Upwork contracts ran 12 to 18 months because I ship, I stay, and I take real ownership of the product. $200K+ earned on the platform, 1,523 hours logged, 100% Job Success.
What that looks like in practice: I work alongside your team like a senior hire would, run my own tickets without hand-holding, make architectural calls when they need to be made, and stay close enough to the product that I can flag the things you didn't think to ask about. Founders pay a premium for that and almost nobody delivers it, my client retention is the proof.
I work across the full stack:
Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
Frontend: React, React Native, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux, Tailwind
Infra & ops: AWS (EC2, deployments, Nginx, PM2), Docker, structured logging, multi-tenant SaaS architecture
Recent work includes a multi-tenant freight/logistics SaaS platform (NestJS + React + AWS), a React Native e-commerce app I ran for 1,392 hours, and a year-long frontend retainer where I was effectively the team's senior FE engineer.
If you're a founder or small team looking for someone to take the wheel on a build, MVP, rebuild, or ongoing product work, let's talk. I respond within a few hours.
