About

I build software that solves real problems for real businesses.

I've been building web applications for over 4 years, working almost exclusively with founders, small businesses, and agencies who need a full-stack developer they can actually talk to.

Most of my clients come to me after a bad experience — either with an agency that overpromised, a freelancer who disappeared, or a no-code tool that hit its limits. I work differently. I take on a small number of projects at a time, communicate daily, and don't hand off to juniors.

My background is in Laravel and PHP on the backend, with Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend. I've deployed and maintained applications on AWS, integrated with payment systems, built real-time features, and connected dozens of third-party APIs.

I care about writing code that the next developer — or you, if you take it in-house — can actually understand and maintain. Not clever code that only I can decipher.

Outside of client work, I build my own SaaS products. That means I understand both sides: shipping fast to validate, and building solid foundations to scale.

If you're building something and want a technical partner who'll be honest with you about what's realistic — let's talk.
