High-performance React & Next.js applications with real-time features, complex state management, and intuitive UI/UX.

Mobile Apps

Native iOS with Swift/SwiftUI and cross-platform with React Native. Launch to App Store, Google Play Store, and internal distribution.

Backend & Infrastructure

Scalable APIs, database design, cloud infrastructure on your choice of cloud provider, and CI/CD pipelines that let you deploy with ease and confidence.

Growth strategy, analytics, go-to-market execution, vendor management, customer outreach, B2B sales pipelines, B2C marketing initiatives and the operational know-how to run a lean startup.

Engagement Models

Transparent pricing, no surprises. Choose the model that fits your stage and budget.

  • Architecture design & technical decision-making
  • Direct async communication — no project manager layer
  • Weekly progress reports & transparent time tracking
  • Flexible hours — scale up or down as needed
  • Code reviews & knowledge transfer to your team

How It Works

From first conversation to production — here's what to expect.

01

Discovery Call

A 30-minute conversation to understand your product, timeline, and what success looks like.

02

Scope & Proposal

Formal definition of engagement terms. Within 48 hours you receive a clear proposal with engagement model, estimated timeline, and clearly defined first-week deliverables.

03

Kickoff & Build

We start building. You get daily visibility into progress through your preferred tools — Slack, Linear, GitHub, or whatever you use.

04

Ship & Iterate

Production deployments happen early and often. We measure, learn, and adjust — exactly like a great in-house team.

Tech Stack

Production-tested tools I use daily. I pick the right technology for the problem — not the trendiest one.

Frequently Asked Questions

I work best on visionary products, complex full-stack applications, and early-stage startups that need to move fast without sacrificing code quality. If you need a landing page or a WordPress site, I'm probably not the right fit — but I'm happy to refer you to someone who is.

Typically within 1–2 weeks of signing. For urgent projects I can sometimes start sooner — just ask.

Both. I can embed into an existing engineering team and follow your processes, or I can operate independently and own the entire technical stack. Either way, communication is transparent and frequent.

Equity terms are negotiated case by case. Generally: standard 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff, accelerated vesting on acquisition, and terms documented in a formal agreement reviewed by both parties' counsel.

For the right opportunity — yes. If you're building something genuinely interesting and the fit is strong, I'm open to converting from a contract or co-founder engagement into a full-time role.

I take on a limited number of engagements at a time to maintain quality. Current availability varies — reach out and I'll let you know my timeline.

Let's build something great

Whether you need a contract engineer, a partner with skin in the game, or a technical co-founder — I'd love to hear about what you're building.
