Services

I build and run software. Architecture, infrastructure, security, and hosting.

PlatformIO
React
Linux

What I do

I work with clients to figure out what they need, then build it end to end: the application, the architecture under it, the infrastructure it runs on, and the security around all of it. When it’s ready, I host it, monitor it, and keep it running.

Most of my clients are startups. My area of expertise is backend and infrastructure, though I’ve always worked across the whole stack: web and mobile.

How I build

New projects here don’t start from zero. They start on a platform I’ve built and run for years: deployment, monitoring, and security are solved before the first feature is written. It’s not a product, just internal tooling and years of experience, but it’s why a one-person shop can build, ship, and host production systems end to end.

When we deploy, we don’t have to hold our breath because it’s on the same system that has been tested with real customers.

How I work

The simplest path that works long term

Making things more complicated is easy; making them simpler is harder. I optimize for the system someone has to maintain years from now.

The right tool for the job

What suits a FANG isn’t necessarily what suits you. I pick proven tools sized to the team that will actually run them.

Security, taken seriously

Security is designed in from the start: in the architecture, the infrastructure, and the code.

What can you expect when working with me?

🤝 You work directly with me, from first call to production

✋ I say no to work I’m not suited for

🔧 I design systems for whoever maintains them years from now

What I take on

Building a system from the ground up, including hosting.

Joining an existing system to extend or stabilize it.

Modernizing legacy code.

What I don’t take on

Graphic design. Logos, branding, and illustration are not my craft.

Web design, generally. I’ll build a clean, functional interface, but if the visual design is the heart of the project, I’ll bring in a designer who is better at it than I am.
