Data platforms & pipelines
Ingestion, storage, transformation and serving layers — sized to your actual load, not hypothetical scale. Monitoring and cost control built in.
Web & Data Engineering · AI-accelerated
I build data platforms and web products that stay reliable — and cheap to run.
Independent engineer working with teams that need a system built right the first time, or an existing one that has become expensive, fragile or hard to change. I use AI throughout my workflow to move faster, and I keep the architecture boring in the best sense.
What I do
Web products & APIs
Full-stack builds from static marketing sites to secure backends: Next.js, Node/Fastify, Go, Postgres. Bot protection, rate limiting and auth done properly.
AI in the product, and in the process
LLM features where they genuinely help — extraction, search, chat — plus an AI-assisted delivery workflow that shortens the path from idea to production.
Cloud & cost optimization
Infrastructure as code, right-sized services and pragmatic hosting choices. Audit existing spend and cut it without sacrificing reliability.

How I work
- 01
Understand
A short call to map what you run today, what hurts, and what success looks like.
- 02
Design
A clear architecture diagram and plan you can reason about before any code is written.
- 03
Build with AI
Fast, reviewed iterations — AI drafts, I own the decisions, tests and security.
- 04
Hand over
Documentation, IaC and runbooks so your team can keep it running without me.

Tell me a bit about what you're running today and what isn't working. I usually reply within a day. Prefer something quicker? Use the chat in the corner.
