My specialty? I'm equally comfortable with business logic code and deployment. I build complete stacks → Rails, PostgreSQL, Docker, CI/CD, AWS. And I iterate quickly to validate your product hypotheses.
I've delivered for solo entrepreneurs and established companies (Wecasa, Alloopharma, Study Quizz). Everyone has been happy so far — I'd like it to continue.
My process: we align on the need, I code, we adjust. Back-and-forth is part of the game, not the bill.
Mission complete = in production + you are satisfied. The rest is details.
Available for one-off or long-term missions. I respond within 24 hours.
