What I can build for you

Web and app development, from the first screen to production — including AI and LLM features where they earn their place.

For startups & product teams

01

Web & mobile app development

A production web or mobile app from requirements to launch: interface, API, database, login, payments and push notifications, built to be maintained.

  • Next.js / React frontend, responsive by default
  • API on FastAPI or NestJS with PostgreSQL
  • Mobile releases on the App Store and Google Play
  • Deployed with CI/CD and a clear hand-off

For existing products

02

AI & LLM features in your software

Add LLM-powered features — assistants, search over your documents, summaries — to an app you already run, and know what they cost.

  • LLM feature integrated into your current stack
  • Evals that show when answers go wrong
  • Cost per request tracked from day one

03

Integrations & cloud deploy

Connect the third-party services your product depends on and put it on infrastructure that stays up.

  • Payments, maps, social login and messaging APIs
  • AWS environments with Terraform (ECS, RDS, S3)
  • Monitoring and runbooks your team can follow

How I work

  1. 01

    Scope call

    30 minutes to agree on the outcome, the must-haves and what is out of scope.

  2. 02

    Build in milestones

    Small, demoable milestones with a fixed scope, so you see progress every week.

  3. 03

    Launch & support

    Deploy, hand-off documentation and optional monthly maintenance.

Working with me

  • Scope first

    Before any code, you get a one-page scope: what is in, what is out, the milestones and how we check each one.

  • No surprises

    Each milestone ends with a working demo link and three lines: done, next, blocked. Blockers reach you the same day.

  • Replies within 2 hours

    During my working hours (GMT+7), messages get a reply in under 2 hours.

  • Fast, on-time delivery

    Small milestones that ship on the agreed date, so the project keeps moving.
