Most startups struggle to ship fast without accumulating technical debt. I help product teams build reliable software with speed and craft — from hands-on coding to technical leadership.

Move fast.
Build right.

Scaling teams, chaotic roadmaps, technical debt piling up — been there. With 15+ years across SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce, my job is helping product teams ship fast without the shortcuts that cost you later. Bridging product goals and engineering execution.

Clients

Trusted by startups and product teams

I've partnered with SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, and early-stage startups — environments where speed and reliability must coexist.

How I Help

Services

Product Development

Your team is at capacity but the roadmap won't wait. I embed with your team to ship features fast — clean code, tight feedback loops, no shortcuts.

Technical Strategy & Architecture

Wrong technical decisions cost months. I help you choose the right architecture, stack, and patterns — so technology accelerates your business.

Team Leadership & Augmentation

Missing senior engineering leadership? I ship production code and lead architecture decisions — raising the bar for the whole team.

Technology

Tools I enjoy shipping with

TypeScript
Python
GraphQL
React
Tailwind CSS
Node.js
Astro
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
Supabase
Sentry
GitHub

These are the tools I reach for most — but the stack is always chosen for your product, not my resume. I adapt to what your team and codebase need.

Process

From idea to reliable software

A repeatable approach that keeps scope tight and momentum high.

Step 1

Understand

We start with a focused discovery call to align on what matters most — your goals, constraints, and timeline.

Step 2

Plan

I trace a pragmatic path with measurable milestones. No over-engineering, no guesswork — just a clear plan you can trust.

Step 3

Build

I ship high-leverage work in tight feedback loops. You see progress every week, not after months of silence.

Step 4

Deliver

Clean handover, monitoring, and production support. Your team owns the code and can maintain it long after I leave.

What Sets Me Apart

Why me

IC + Leadership hybrid

Shipping code and leading architecture decisions — you get both.

Design-sensitive engineer

Typography, layout, and pixels matter — design is not someone else's problem.

Product thinker, not a ticket executor

Understanding why features matter, not just how to implement them.

Community builder

CSSconf EU organizer, JSConf EU volunteer, Rails Girls coach.

Battle-tested in scale-up chaos

Wimdu, rebuy, Coya, Surfer. No panic — just shipping.

Exceptional communicator

Every testimonial mentions communication, proactivity, and clarity.

Ready to ship
faster and
build right?

Every month without the right engineering partner is another month of accumulated debt and delayed launches. You bring the product vision — I bring the craft to make it real.
