Work With Me

If you are building something serious — a system that has to hold together over time, a product where the architecture matters, or an AI integration that needs to be more than a wrapper around a model — I would like to hear about it.

Get in touch

Tell me what you are building. The more specific, the better.

This goes straight to my inbox. How I handle what you send.

Who I Work With

I work best with founders, designers, and small teams who need serious engineering on meaningful projects:

  • Founders building serious digital products
  • Designers who need a strong technical partner
  • Small teams building or rebuilding software systems
  • Companies needing architecture, performance, or AI integration help

What I Build

  • Full product builds from architecture to launch
  • AI-enabled applications with real integration
  • Complex web applications and content platforms
  • Performance-sensitive and security-focused systems
  • Architecture redesigns for poorly structured systems

Where I Add the Most Value

My strongest work happens on projects where engineering quality directly impacts the outcome — where the architecture needs to be right, where performance matters, where AI integration needs to be thoughtful, or where a designer's vision needs careful technical execution.

What Working Together Looks Like

I stay deeply involved in every project I take on. I am not a resource you assign tasks to — I am a technical partner who helps design, build, and deliver the system.

That means I take on a limited number of projects at a time to ensure each one gets the attention it deserves.

What Happens Next

  1. I reply within two business days, from my own inbox.
  2. If it looks like a fit, we talk through what you are building and what kind of help you need.
  3. You get a written scope before any work starts, so the first thing we agree on is what done means.
