Profile

Freelance full-stack developer with over 15 years of independent practice. I design and ship products end to end: architecture, backend, web, mobile, and the electronics when the product does not stop at the screen. I frame the system before writing the first line, then take it all the way to production. AI is part of my daily tooling, not my sales pitch: agentic coding for prototyping and refactoring, test generation and review, exploring unfamiliar codebases, and integrating LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI) and MCP servers into the products I deliver. The gain is not writing code faster, it is going from a spec to a testable version in days rather than weeks, while keeping control over architecture, security and technical debt.
