Things I have shipped
A few things I have built and shipped. Two of them are live, so go ahead and click through.
Pathara turns a resume and a short questionnaire into a ranked list of real open jobs, each with a tailored resume, cover letter, and interview prep doc. I built the intake flow, the AI agent pipeline that does the research and writing, and the per-candidate results portal with downloads and an application tracker.
A direct booking engine that lets service businesses take reservations on their own site instead of handing a marketplace a 20 percent cut. I built the booking and scheduling flow, Stripe payment processing with Stripe Tax scoped from day one, guest communications, and a review pipeline.
A real-time multiplayer settlement game that runs entirely in the browser, with no download and no account needed. I built the Phaser rendering, the real-time multiplayer for two to six players, seeded board generation, fog of war, turn timers, and bot opponents that can fill empty seats.
Lumi calculates a precise natal chart from your birth details using Swiss Ephemeris astronomy, then has an AI write a reading that actually sounds like you instead of a template. I built the chart engine, the freemium product flow, and the AI reading pipeline, and shipped it on Vercel.
A proof-of-concept booking platform for golf country clubs, built as a demo for a potential collaboration. Not a product being offered. I designed the multi-tenant data model, the booking engine, and the background job pipeline to validate the architecture. The core booking and scheduling patterns from this PoC later shaped Kora.
A custom integration that keeps stock and orders in sync across multiple warehouse locations between a WooCommerce storefront and an Odoo ERP. I built the sync pipeline and the custom Odoo module work, and tracked down cross-system inventory bugs at the data layer, including a multi-location overselling issue that spanned both systems.
A custom WordPress plugin for a live venue client. Staff capture photos on a tablet, the images poll in over AJAX, and a projector display updates in real time. I scoped, documented, and delivered the whole thing end to end for a paying client.
Models I have tested
I keep a rotation of models and pick the right one for the job. Here is where each one earns its place in my workflow.
On AI-assisted development
Short notes on how I actually work with these tools. I treat AI as a force multiplier, not a replacement for judgment, and most of the leverage lives in the workflow around the model.
Who I am
I am a senior full-stack developer based in the Orlando metro, Florida, with 10+ years shipping production web applications. I have built multi-tenant SaaS platforms, payment and booking infrastructure, e-commerce systems, and custom tooling for clients. I own work end to end: from schema design and API through to a polished, fast frontend.
Over the last two years I have built with AI in the loop as a core part of how I work. I use Cursor and Claude Code daily. I also built my own multi-model code review tooling that synthesizes output from several models into a single Ship/Fix/No-Ship scorecard, which has tightened feedback cycles and caught real bugs before they reach production.
I work best on small, senior teams where I can own a meaningful surface. I care about production quality, approachable codebases, and fast feedback loops. The code I ship is the code I would want to read six months later.
Get in touch
I am open to senior and lead full-stack roles, remote-first or around the Orlando metro. Tell me what you are building and what you need, and I will reply within one business day.
