What I offer

From strategy to implementation. Five focus areas, one goal: software that works.

02 Flow

Full Stack Development

From idea to code

End-to-end development of modern web applications. From database to UI, with an eye for maintainability and performance.

  • TypeScript, React, Astro, Vite
  • Node.js, Python, Go (as needed)
  • PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Vector DBs
  • Testing & Code Quality (Unit, E2E, TDD)
04 Flow

AI Enablement

Value over hype

LLMs, RAG, Embeddings. AI integration with measure. Evaluation, cost control, and measurable results.

  • LLM Integration & RAG Systems
  • Prompt Engineering & Evaluation
  • AI Agents & Workflows
  • Cost Optimization (Caching, Batching)

How I work

Thoughtful architecture. Reliable delivery. That's how systems are built that work today and grow with you tomorrow.

TECTON

Foundations that last

Clarity · Quality · Consistency

  • Decide transparently

    ADRs, guardrails, no silent assumptions. Every architecture decision is documented and justified.

  • Build in quality

    Tests, security scans, release gates. Quality is non-negotiable. It's built in.

  • Maintain consistency

    Reviews, API contracts, versioning. Consistency builds trust and reduces friction.

Tide

Movement that moves forward

Iteration · Feedback · Impact

  • Deliver small

    Weekly increments, visible progress. Small steps, big impact.

  • Learn early

    Involve users, read telemetry. Feedback loops over feature floods.

  • Measure impact

    DORA metrics, SLOs, satisfaction. What's not measured can't be improved.
