One Engineer, Full Ownership From Database to Deploy
Frontend teams and backend teams create coordination overhead. I own the schema, the API, and the UI — so there's no gap between what the API returns and what the component expects. One point of contact, full accountability.
- React / Next.js frontend — 95+ Lighthouse, SEO-first
- NestJS or Express API — TypeScript strict, 10K+ req/day
- PostgreSQL database — schema design, indexing, migrations
- AWS or Vercel deployment — CI/CD included from day one

Full-Stack Expertise
What I Build
End-to-end products — not just components or endpoints. From the first migration to the first paying user, one engineer with full context on every layer.
SaaS Products
Multi-tenant architecture, Stripe subscriptions, auth with SSO, onboarding flows, and admin dashboards. The full SaaS stack from database schema to marketing site — built to go from beta to paying customers.
FinTech Dashboards
Real-time data, complex state, role-based access, and audit trails. I've shipped dashboards for liquidity.io, simplici.io, and equitytable.io — production FinTech with the reliability requirements that come with it.
Full-Stack Web Applications
Next.js App Router frontend, NestJS or Express API, PostgreSQL database, Redis caching, and AWS deployment — all owned by one engineer. One codebase, full accountability, no coordination overhead.
REST & GraphQL APIs
TypeScript APIs with Zod validation, JWT auth, RBAC, rate limiting, Redis caching, and OpenAPI documentation. APIs that handle real traffic and real adversarial requests — not just happy-path tests.
SEO-First Marketing Sites
Next.js App Router with metadata API, structured data, dynamic OG images, ISR, and Core Web Vitals A+. Sites that rank — not just sites that look good in a Lighthouse report tab.
MVPs & Greenfield Products
You have an idea and a brief. I'll turn it into a working product with the right architecture for today and enough room to grow tomorrow. From first commit to first paying user — one engineer.
Why Hire Me
Why Full-Stack Ownership Matters
Split teams create split accountability. When one engineer owns the schema, API, and UI, there are no gaps — and no one to blame when things break.
One engineer who owns the whole stack
No hand-off between a frontend team and a backend team. No gap between the API contract and the component that calls it. I own the schema, the API, and the UI — and I'm accountable for all three.
Performance at both ends
95+ Lighthouse on the frontend. Sub-50ms p95 on the API. Indexed queries in the database. Performance isn't a frontend concern or a backend concern — it's a full-stack concern, and I treat it that way.
Security across every layer
Input validation on the API, RLS at the database layer, HTTPS and security headers on the frontend. Security decisions made consistently across the stack — not applied patchwork to whichever layer flagged a finding.
Architecture that survives the first pivot
I've seen what happens to codebases that weren't designed for change. I make the structural decisions at the start — domain boundaries, data model, API contracts — so pivots are features, not rewrites.
Common Questions
Before You Reach Out
The questions every client asks — answered honestly.
How much does a full-stack developer cost?
For a scoped project — MVP, a feature addition, a performance audit — I quote fixed price. For ongoing product work I offer a weekly or monthly retainer. Written proposal within 24 hours of a brief, no verbal estimates.
What does full-stack actually mean in your case?
Database design and migrations, REST or GraphQL API, React or Next.js frontend, CI/CD pipeline, and production deployment. I can hand off each layer or own the whole thing end-to-end. Most clients want the full ownership.
Can you work with my existing codebase?
Yes. Share the repo and I'll assess what's there honestly — what to keep, what to refactor, and what to rewrite. I won't recommend a full rewrite unless it's genuinely the right call with the right justification.
Do you work with React or Next.js?
Both. React with Vite for SPAs where server-side rendering isn't needed. Next.js App Router for anything SEO-sensitive, content-driven, or where a full-stack monorepo simplifies deployment. I'll recommend based on your requirements.
How do you handle deployment and infrastructure?
Vercel for Next.js projects — it's the best-in-class deployment platform. AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront) for clients with specific infra requirements or existing AWS accounts. Docker for everything — containers ship the same everywhere.
Do you do ongoing maintenance as well?
Yes. Post-launch retainers for bug fixes, dependency updates, feature additions, and monitoring. I prefer long-term relationships with the products I ship — I care about what happens after deploy day.
