About

A full-stack engineer who takes products from idea to launch.

I design and build web and mobile products end to end, from initial idea to launch. My work, both within product teams and as an independent consultant, spans enterprise B2B platforms, AI-powered applications, marketplaces, and SEO-driven corporate websites that rank at the top of Google.

My approach rests on three principles: defining the problem precisely and solving it in the shortest possible time, choosing technology based on long-term total cost rather than short-term convenience, and maintaining transparent, clear communication with non-technical stakeholders at every stage.

How I can help.

Whether you are starting with a new product idea or handing over existing software that no longer scales, I take ownership of the process end to end and bring it to launch.

SaaS products from scratch

I turn your idea into a fully working web application: user management, subscription and payment systems, an admin panel, and a solid foundation that will not limit you as you grow.

Finishing stalled projects

I take over projects left behind by a previous team or generated with AI tools and unable to move forward. I identify and resolve the issues, complete what is missing, and bring the project to launch with confidence.

Web and mobile apps

I build products for both web and mobile, on iOS and Android. Your website and mobile app share one foundation, so your users get the same experience on whatever device they use.

Technical consulting

Which technology to pick, whether your current system is ready to grow, or whether the agency you're quoting is on the right track. An independent technical opinion before expensive mistakes get made.

SEO and visibility on Google

I handle the full SEO work that gets your website in front of customers searching on Google, from the technical foundations to content structure. Site speed, local search and page architecture included; the goal is always a measurable climb in rankings.

Get in touch

Have a product idea or a stalled codebase?

I am open to both freelance and full-time collaborations on new projects. A short email is all it takes; I respond as quickly as possible.
