I build fullstack products, end to end.

I.Featured work

Web app/Payments & booking·Shipped, in daily use

Lynxsta: a booking that is real because it is paid for.

A booking tool for independent stylists. The stylist sends a link, the client reads the terms and pays a deposit, and the slot is theirs. Nothing is confirmed until the money moves.

Lynxsta on two phones: the stylist dashboard listing today's appointments, each marked Deposit Paid, beside the month calendar view.

What I take on

One engineer, the whole stack.

01

Web & SaaS apps

Products built to hand over, not to keep me on retainer.

  • Next.js
  • Supabase
  • Postgres
  • Stripe
  • TypeScript
02

AI in live products

Retrieval, assistants and extraction. FastAPI behind a product that already works.

  • FastAPI
  • Python
  • Claude
  • RAG
  • pgvector
03

Mobile apps

Store-ready builds, architected to extend. Not demos.

  • Kotlin
  • Compose
  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • Material 3

Fixed price and scope in writing, after a 30 minute call.
