Description

I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience building production systems across web, mobile, and AI. I've worked across the full spectrum — B2C and B2B applications, mobile apps, interactive campaigns for global brands, multi-tenant CMS platforms, and automated trading infrastructure for professional trading houses. I've co-founded and run two studios, scaled an agency to 50 people, and spent the last few years going deep into AI-integrated systems and agentic pipelines. I take on focused, scoped work where I can go deep and deliver something solid.
