Alex Paisley

I’m a self-taught full-stack developer and SaaS founder, focused on designing, building, deploying, and debugging production business platforms. I translate ambiguous business needs into implementation-ready features with unusually strong ownership and speed.

At Operava LLC, I built Operon, a production SaaS platform for home-service businesses—covering customer management, scheduling, employees, invoicing/accounting, analytics, lead management, AI-assisted workflows, and mobile functionality. I owned full-stack delivery across React/Next.js interfaces, Node.js APIs, and PostgreSQL/Prisma data models with tenant isolation, authentication, plan gates, and rate limits.

I’m comfortable diagnosing live issues and shipping fixes quickly, having resolved production failures tied to database pooling, OAuth, CORS, payment flows, API routing, consent enforcement, deployment configuration, and iOS-native bridges. I manage work through GitHub workflows (branches, pull requests, code review), verify changes in preview and production, and document root causes and deployment requirements.

I also bring real operator experience to software decisions, running day-to-day operations for a lawn and landscaping business and building tools around internal-customer needs rather than hypothetical requirements. That background shapes how I plan acceptance criteria, break large features into phases, and coordinate rapid releases under changing priorities.
