Full-stack developer with ~5 years of deep B2B product work. I've been through pivots, rewrites, and a successful exit. Now I help small teams get their systems under control.
Problems solved, not services listed
Your team shipped fast, and now the codebase fights every change. I untangle the architecture, fix the pain points, and make the system workable again — without a full rewrite.
Frontend, backend, infrastructure, testing — I work across all of them. One person who understands the whole system means fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and less context lost.
Legacy cleanup. Flaky CI pipelines. That migration everyone's been avoiding. I handle the structural work that doesn't fit neatly into a sprint but makes everything else easier.
I work like a team member, not a vendor. I learn your product, understand the constraints, and make decisions that account for what happens after I leave.
Features take three times longer than they should. Developers are afraid to touch core modules. Every fix creates two new bugs. You need someone who can see the whole system and start untangling it.
You have a React dev, a backend dev, and someone who touches infra sometimes. But nobody is looking at how the pieces fit together. Cross-cutting concerns fall through the cracks.
You've tried agencies and freelancers. They deliver features and disappear. Nobody sticks around long enough to understand the product. You need someone who embeds, not someone who invoices and moves on.
I spent ~5 years working on a single B2B product — from early stage through a successful exit. During that time, I worked across the entire stack: frontend, backend, infrastructure, and testing.
I wasn't just shipping features. I handled architecture decisions, system stability, performance work, and the kind of cross-cutting concerns that don't have a Jira ticket. When the product pivoted, I adapted the codebase. When things broke at scale, I was the one debugging on a Saturday.
That experience taught me what matters in a production system and what's just noise. Now I bring that same ownership to other teams — usually small startups or growing products where one strong generalist is worth more than three specialists.
I start by understanding the system, not the backlog. Before writing code, I map out how things actually work — the architecture, the pain points, the deployment pipeline, the parts everyone avoids.
I work embedded, not at arm's length. I join your Slack, attend standups, review PRs. I operate like a senior team member because that's what gets results — not status update emails.
I bias toward boring, reliable solutions. I'm not here to introduce a new framework. I use what fits the problem. If the answer is a well-structured SQL query instead of a microservice, that's what you get.
I think about what happens after I leave. I document decisions, write tests that matter, and structure code so the next person can understand it. I don't build job security into systems.
I'm direct about what I see. If the plan won't work, I'll say so. If something is over-engineered, I'll flag it. You're paying for my judgment, not just my typing speed.
I'm currently taking on one additional engagement. If this sounds like your situation, reach out.
