Software engineering & AI automation
I help startups and small teams build web products, connect their tools, and automate repetitive work. Hands-on engineering, with a clear problem to solve and a practical result to work toward.
Where I can help
Build a new web product or improve the one you have. I can help turn a focused idea into an MVP, implement a product feature, or improve an existing React and TypeScript application.
Web applications · MVPs · Product features · Frontend performance
Connect the tools your team already uses and reduce repetitive work. Start with the workflow, decide where AI is useful, and build an integration with clear checks and human review where needed.
Internal tools · API integrations · AI-assisted workflows
Get another pair of experienced eyes on a difficult engineering problem. Review an implementation, investigate a performance issue, or work through a technical decision with concrete next steps.
Code review · Architecture review · Performance · Debugging
Example engagements
These are examples of possible work. The scope would depend on your product, team, and constraints.
Define the essential user journey, build the web application, and leave the team with a maintainable starting point for the next release.
Map a repeated task, connect the relevant systems, and test an automation. Add AI only where it helps, with a way to review and correct its output.
Investigate the bottleneck, explain the tradeoffs, and implement or document the changes that will make the biggest practical difference.
Working together
Share what you are building, what is getting in the way, and what a useful outcome would look like.
Work through the constraints and decide on the deliverables, approach, and how we will assess the result.
Keep progress visible, check the work against the agreed outcome, and provide the code and notes your team needs to carry it forward.
