Open to strong engineering opportunities
Senior engineer for teams that need product sense and clean execution.
I build React Native apps, React and Next.js frontends, and Node.js systems with a strong eye for product quality. The work combines practical engineering, polished interfaces, and ownership from idea to shipped experience.
Best fit: teams that want a senior engineer who can ship, raise UI quality, and help products feel more credible in the hands of users.

Web Studios builds restaurant websites and direct online ordering platforms.
This is the business side of my work: a complete platform for restaurants, pairing a fast, branded website with direct online ordering, owner dashboards, and analytics, with no commission on sales.
Featured business
Web Studios
A complete restaurant platform: a branded website connected to direct online ordering, customer accounts, an owner dashboard, and real-time analytics, with no commission taken on sales and everything hosted, maintained, and supported directly.
Direct online ordering
branded checkout built into the restaurant's own site, not a third-party marketplace
0% sales commission
restaurants keep 100% of order revenue, aside from standard payment processing fees
Owner dashboards & analytics
real-time orders, revenue, and customer insight without guesswork
What I offer
A restaurant website and direct ordering platform, so orders come through the restaurant's own site instead of a third-party marketplace.
Why it matters
Most restaurants lose margin to delivery-app commissions and have no direct line to the person maintaining their site. Web Studios fixes both with a platform the restaurant owns and a founder who answers when something breaks.
Typical outcomes
Faster checkout, fewer missed orders, clearer sales data, and a platform that stays actively maintained instead of left to break.
Engineering taste shaped by product thinking.
From healthcare to tech, the work has always been grounded in solving real problems. That shows up today in practical architecture, clean interfaces, and software that feels considered from the first interaction.
How I build
Clear structure, refined UI, maintainable code, and pragmatic decisions.
What I focus on
Scalable products, real-time systems, mobile experiences, and polished UX implementation.
Why it matters
Good software should earn trust quickly and still hold up when the product grows.
Capabilities across mobile, web, and product systems.
A focused mix of front-end craft, mobile product development, and backend implementation for software that needs to feel polished and hold up under real use.
React Native product development
Cross-platform apps built with strong interaction quality, clean state management, and practical product thinking.
Next.js and premium front-end systems
Modern web products with strong layout discipline, polished UI implementation, and performance-minded delivery.
Backend and real-time architecture
Node.js, TypeScript, APIs, live updates, and product infrastructure that support responsive, scalable user experiences.
Product-minded engineering execution
The work balances code quality, product clarity, ownership, and the finish needed for software to feel credible.

Beyond the code
Roles, ownership, and the kind of product work I've led.
The left side was wasting space, so this section now opens tighter and lets the actual experience carry the weight.

Credibility
More than just implementation
I am comfortable moving between UI engineering, backend decisions, product detail, and delivery planning when a project needs full ownership.
Credibility
UI polish with technical credibility
I care about how software feels in the hand, but the visual layer is always backed by structure, maintainability, and real engineering discipline.
Credibility
AI used strategically
I use AI-assisted development tools like Cursor to accelerate execution, tighten iteration loops, and improve quality without outsourcing judgment.
Let's build something that feels sharp from day one.
Whether you need a strong front-end build, a React Native product, or a senior engineer who can help shape execution end to end, I'm open to the right opportunities.
