Senior full-stack & AI engineer

Production SaaS, AI agents & integrations.

I help startups and product teams build the systems their business depends on: SaaS applications, tool-using AI agents, MCP servers, APIs, workflow automation, and payment infrastructure.

Maybe you’re here because…

The hard part is not finding a framework. It’s making the system hold together.

A good engagement starts with the business problem, then makes the architecture and delivery path visible.

“We need to add AI to an existing SaaS product.”

“Our tools do not communicate reliably.”

See API & integrations →

“Billing edge cases are becoming a product problem.”

See payments & billing →

“We need an engineer who can own a feature end to end.”

“Our MVP needs production architecture, not another demo.”

“The team spends too much time on repetitive workflows.”

Selected work

Systems shipped with the next engineer in mind.

Selected production work across SaaS, payments, integrations, and product delivery.

B2B SaaS / billing

Usage-based billing system

Metering, subscription states, customer portal flows, and webhook handling for a SaaS product moving beyond manual billing.

Healthcare SaaS / payments

PCI-aware payment vault

Tokenization and Laravel API work that kept raw card data out of more of the application’s own workflows.

SaaS product / agency delivery

Multi-tenant dashboard & API layer

Tenant-aware workflows, permissions, dashboard surfaces, and documentation an existing team could keep owning.

Founder / product proof

ThreatIP is where I operate the full product loop.

ThreatIP is a production B2B SaaS product I built and operate end to end. It spans multi-tenant architecture, AI-assisted decisioning, CRM integrations, billing, dashboards, APIs, infrastructure, and ongoing product operations.

Process

Understand → design → build → ship → support.

A direct working relationship, visible progress, and a handoff that does not leave your team guessing.

01

Understand

Clarify the product, workflow, constraints, and success criteria.

02

Design

Map the architecture, data flow, integrations, and implementation path.

03

Build

Develop, integrate, test, and surface decisions while there is still time to change them.

04

Ship

Prepare for production, verify expected behavior, and document what matters.

05

Support

Provide handoff, maintenance, or continued engineering as the product needs.

Technical capability

Technology supports the outcome.

The stack stays flexible; the goal is a system your team can understand, operate, and extend.

Start with the problem

Have a system that needs a serious builder?

Send the context, the constraints, and what “done” needs to mean. I’ll tell you quickly whether I’m the right fit and what I’d look at first.
