How I can help

How I Can Help

From concept to production, I deliver websites and applications that perform

Build

Jamstack & Full Stack Development

High-performance static, hybrid, and full stack applications built with Astro, Next.js, TanStack Start, or your framework of choice. Fast load times, strong SEO, and production-ready architecture.

Integrate

Headless CMS Integration

Connect your marketing team to a modern content platform. I specialize in Sanity, Storyblok, Strapi, and custom CMS solutions that scale with your business.

Assist

AI-Powered Development

I build applications with AI built in from the start. From OpenAI integrations to development workflows powered by Claude Code and MCP servers, I deliver smarter solutions faster.

Architect

Frontend Architecture & CI/CD

Component libraries, design systems, CI/CD pipelines, and frontend infrastructure. Clean, typed code that your team can maintain and extend for years to come.

Why Work With Me

Enterprise-Proven Experience

Over a decade of shipping production code for startups, agencies, and enterprise clients including the LA Clippers, Miami Heat, Azamara Cruises, and Corsair.

AI-Augmented Workflow

I use Claude Code, OpenAI, and MCP servers to build and ship faster. I have built full stack applications alongside AI agents from architecture planning to production deployment.

Quality and Reliability

TypeScript, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, accessibility, and performance optimization are standard practice. I build with best practices from day one.

Consultant and Team Player

I integrate smoothly with existing teams or lead projects independently. Clear communication, thorough documentation, and collaborative code reviews are how I operate.

The project, in order

One workflow from discovery call to shipped code.

  1. 01 Discovery

    Discover & propose

    A discovery call to understand your goals, followed by a proposal with timeline and deliverables.

  2. 02 Build

    Build & communicate

    Regular communication through your preferred channels, with demos at key milestones as the build progresses.

  3. 03 Launch

    Ship & support

    Production deployment, then ongoing support so the handoff never feels like the end of the conversation.

How we can work together

Simple engagement models for teams that need production-ready work.

Fixed-scope builds

Project-Based

For a defined website, app, or migration with a clear start and finish.

  • Fixed-scope proposal
  • Milestone demos
  • Single point of contact
  • Post-launch handoff notes
Ongoing partnership

Retainer

For teams that need continuous frontend, AI, or composable architecture support month over month.

  • Priority response time
  • Recurring roadmap check-ins
  • Flexible scope month to month
  • Direct Slack or email access
Deeper integration

Fractional / Embedded

For teams that want senior full stack coverage inside their own sprint process.

  • Joins existing standups
  • Code review participation
  • Architecture ownership
  • AI-augmented delivery speed

Need something outside these three shapes? Let's talk about scope and terms.

Side by side

A focused alternative to a marketplace freelancer or a large agency.

Here is where working with a senior full stack developer directly earns its keep.
