Open to opportunities

I build scalable, high-performance web applications with Next.js, React, and Node.js — taking projects from architecture and implementation through deployment and operation. Currently open to full-time and contract roles.

01About

I build web products that are fast, accessible, and maintainable.

I take ownership end-to-end — from architecture and implementation through performance tuning and deployment. My work spans headless CMS integrations, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, AI agent systems, and the infrastructure that runs them.

Full-stack capability, front-end focus.
  1. 001Performance is treated as a product requirement, measured and budgeted from day one.
  2. 002Deployments are predictable: observable, reversible, and low-cost.
  3. 003Self-hosted where control and cost matter; managed edge where latency does.
  4. 004Database schemas are designed around real query patterns and product needs.
