Work With Me
Let's Build Something With Soul
I'm a solo developer who builds production apps from zero to launch. If you need a mobile app, an AI-powered feature, a Supabase backend, or a web presence that actually performs — I can help.
I don't do agencies, subcontractors, or handoff chains. When you work with me, you work with me. One person who understands your entire stack — from the database schema to the animation easing curve. That means faster decisions, fewer miscommunications, and software built with intention, not by committee.
Mobile App Development
From concept to the App Store
Full-stack React Native apps built with Expo, Supabase, and real-time features. I build apps that feel native on both platforms from a single codebase — with auth, databases, push notifications, and OTA updates baked in from day one.
- •React Native + Expo (managed workflow)
- •Supabase backend (auth, database, edge functions)
- •Push notifications, realtime sync, OTA updates
- •App Store & Google Play submission
AI Integration
Intelligence that serves the user
I integrate AI into apps without making it the whole personality. Streaming chat interfaces, context-aware daily plans, smart recommendations — using OpenRouter to route to the right model for each task. Thoughtful AI, not bolted-on gimmicks.
- •Multi-model routing via OpenRouter
- •Streaming responses through edge functions
- •Context-aware AI features (not generic chatbots)
- •Cost-optimized model selection per feature
Supabase Architecture
The backend you don't have to babysit
Row-level security, edge functions, multi-user data privacy, partner sync — I've built production systems on Supabase that handle real user data with real compliance needs. I can architect your backend, migrate from Firebase, or audit your existing setup.
- •Row-level security for multi-user privacy
- •Edge functions (Deno) for server-side logic
- •Database schema design and migrations
- •Firebase-to-Supabase migration
Web Development
Fast, beautiful, and findable
Static sites and web apps built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion. SEO-optimized, sub-100ms TTFB, deployed on Netlify with zero server costs. This site is a working example.
- •Next.js (static export or full-stack)
- •Tailwind CSS with custom design systems
- •Framer Motion animations
- •SEO, structured data, performance optimization
The Process
How It Works
Discovery Call
A 30-minute conversation to understand what you're building, who it's for, and where you're stuck. No pitch, no pressure — just clarity.
Architecture & Scope
I map out the technical approach, timeline, and deliverables. You'll know exactly what gets built, how, and when — before any code is written.
Build & Iterate
Weekly builds you can test. I ship working increments, not wireframes. You see progress in your hands, not in a slide deck.
Launch & Handoff
Deployment to production, app store submission, documentation, and a clean handoff. Your app runs without me — but I'm around if you need me.
