Independent engineer

Let's buildsomething real

I take your idea, whether it's a prototype, a half-built app, or a napkin sketch, and turn it into something you can ship, scale, and hand off. 7+ years, TypeScript, full-stack.

01 · 03Launch readiness

From prototype to production

The problem

You built something fast. Maybe with AI tools, maybe by hand. It runs locally, it demos well, but it's not ready for real users. No staging environment, no CI/CD, no error handling. Every deploy is a coin flip and the first traffic spike will prove it.

What changes

  • Your code deploys safely every time, not just when you're watching.
  • You get a staging environment and CI pipeline, often within the first week.
  • Failures show up in your alerts before users notice.
  • You walk away with a setup your team can maintain without me.

What I bring

I've taken a startup's Vercel hobby setup to multi-region production in under two weeks. 7+ years doing this across customer-facing apps, APIs, and internal workflows.

02 · 03Growth & reliability

Architecture that grows with you

The problem

Your solution architecture starts to matter when you're trying to upsell or elevate growth. The stack that worked at launch is now slow, fragile, or expensive. Single server, synchronous bottlenecks, a bill that scales faster than revenue. You need structure that matches how the business actually works.

What changes

  • You get a clear map of what's breaking and a plan to fix it, usually before we write any new code.
  • I only add complexity where it pays for itself. No architecture astronautics.
  • Your infra matches your actual traffic and growth, not a hypothetical scale you haven't hit.
  • Your team gets documentation on why things are built the way they are, not just how.

What I bring

Hands-on with multi-tenant systems, service boundaries, and event-driven pipelines across SaaS and fintech. I align architecture with cost and operability so you're not paying for complexity you don't need.

03 · 03Efficiency

Think you pay too much?

The problem

Cloud bills creep up. Oversized instances, idle resources, hot paths that could be cheaper. "We'll optimize later" never comes. The goal isn't austerity. It's trimming down what your product costs so you can keep more to yourself.

What changes

  • I run a 1-2 week audit of your infrastructure, usage data, and billing.
  • You get a prioritized list of changes with expected savings. I can implement the top ones on the spot.
  • Guardrails so costs don't creep back after the first pass.

What I bring

I've cut monthly cloud spend by 40-60% on Node/TS stacks, typically through caching, deploy restructuring, and right-sizing compute. I speak both product needs and infra line items so recommendations stay realistic.

How it works

01We talk20-min call or async message
02I scope and quoteClear deliverables, fixed price
03I buildYou get progress updates throughout
04You shipHandoff you can run without me

Most engagements touch more than one of the services above. I'm the one building. No handoff to juniors, no bait-and-switch.

Let's talk

Ready to talk? Book a call. Want to share context first? Send a message.

Engagements are project-based. We scope and agree on cost before any work starts. I take on a limited number at a time so each project gets real attention.
