If you've landed on my profile, you're probably a founder, CTO, or senior engineer
looking for one of three things:
- Deep technical content on SaaS, React, Node.js, and cloud architecture
- A senior developer or Fractional CTO to work with on a US-market product
- Both
Either way, welcome. Let me give you the quick picture.
What I Do
I'm a freelance full-stack developer and Fractional CTO specializing in
SaaS products, API architecture, and cloud infrastructure for the US market.
Over the last several years I've shipped 100+ products across:
- SaaS platforms: Multi-tenant architecture, Stripe billing, auth systems, role-based access, usage metering
- API development: REST APIs built API-first, versioned, documented, and built to handle US enterprise scale
- Cloud infrastructure: AWS and Vercel deployments, Supabase backends, Terraform, zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines
- AI integration: LLM-powered features, RAG systems, async AI processing built into production SaaS products
- Regulated industries: HIPAA-compliant healthcare apps, PCI DSS FinTech products, FERPA-compliant EdTech platforms
My clients are typically US-based startups from pre-seed through Series B,
and enterprise teams that need senior technical leadership without the
overhead of a full-time hire.
My Stack
Frontend -> React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Backend -> Node.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Redis, REST APIs
Cloud -> AWS, Vercel, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, CI/CD
AI -> OpenAI, LangChain, vector databases, RAG architecture
What I Write About Here
I publish practical, code-heavy articles aimed at developers building
serious products, not toy examples.
Topics I cover regularly:
- Node.js architecture: performance, clustering, worker threads, memory management at scale
- SaaS engineering: multi-tenancy, billing models, feature flags, pricing schema design
- TypeScript in the real world: strict mode, Zod validation, discriminated unions, utility types at scale
- API design: REST structure, versioning, contract testing, OpenAPI-first development
- Cloud and DevOps: AWS and Vercel deployment patterns, Supabase architecture, GitHub Actions CI/CD without a DevOps team
- AI integration: practical LLM patterns, RAG, async job queues for AI features in production SaaS
- Regulated tech: HIPAA, PCI DSS, FERPA and what they actually require from developers, not lawyers
No padding. No "in this article we will explore." Just the patterns,
the code, and the reasoning behind both.

Working Together
If you're building a SaaS product, scaling a Node.js backend,

CTO, that's exactly the kind of work I take on.
