Feedback from founders I've built with
A few words from people I've shipped products with.
"We went from idea to working MVP in under 6 weeks. Saved us at least 3 months of back-and-forth with agencies."
- Founder, early-stage SaaS
"Shipped the entire auth system and dashboard before our funding round closed. That timeline made a real difference."
- CTO, web3 startup
Some clients stay anonymous due to stealth mode or company policy.

I've spent years in the trenches with startups, building products that actually ship and scale.

Brik
In Active DevelopmentNext.jsNestJSTypeScriptWeb3
Joined as one of the first engineers to build Brik from the ground up. We created something that didn't exist before: a platform where you can discover, trade, and swap real-world assets using crypto tokens. I jumped between React components and NestJS APIs daily, architecting for the long haul while shipping features fast.
Key Highlights
- Founding team member
- Architected platform from scratch
- Full-stack development

Smophy
In Active DevelopmentNext.jsNestJSAI APIs
Built the core product of an AI aggregation platform from zero. The idea was simple but ambitious: one subscription to access all the top AI models. I handled everything from designing the frontend to building the backend that streams parallel responses from multiple AI providers without lag.
Key Highlights
- Built from zero
- Multi-provider AI streaming
- Founding engineer

Lumox Studio
DeployedNext.jsWagmiTypeScript
Shipped multiple websites for a game development studio during their busiest period. Every project was different: marketing sites, web3 integrations, backend services. The common thread was making sure everything worked reliably for gamers who don't tolerate broken UX.
Key Highlights
- Multiple shipped sites
- Web3 + gaming focus
- Reliability-first approach

Kenesis
DeployedNext.jsExpressWagmi
Worked on an education platform with a twist: courses are sold as NFTs, and buyers can resell them too. I built features across the whole stack: the storefront where creators list courses, the backend handling crypto payments, and the web3 layer that mints NFTs as proof of purchase. Wild concept, fully shipped.
Key Highlights
- NFT-based course access
- Resale marketplace
- Crypto payments integration

02 - How I Work
How I Build Things That Last
Most projects don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because the code becomes too messy to work with. I focus on building clean foundations from day one.
Keep It Simple
Less moving parts means fewer things that can break.
Built to Grow
Your app can handle 10x more users without needing a rebuild.
Ship Fast, Learn Fast
Get your product out there quickly, then improve based on real feedback.
Used this approach on 50+ projects

Got an idea? Let's make it real.
Whether it's a fresh product, a messy codebase, or something in between, I'd genuinely love to hear about it. No pitch decks needed, just a conversation.
