Freelance full-stack developer and AI engineer with 15+ years building web applications. My main lane is Laravel/Vue business software: SaaS products, internal tools, API-heavy apps, legacy PHP modernization, and projects that need an experienced person to stabilize them and move them forward.
I also build AI features into production software: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google API integrations, agent-style workflows, scraping/data pipelines, queues, and content/publishing systems.
Founder/operator background from SaaS, ecommerce, SEO/content, and marketplace projects, so I can help with product scope and business tradeoffs as well as implementation. Best fit: remote freelance or contract work, especially 20+ hours/week or focused rescue/build projects.
