What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and ship SaaS products remotely, translating business requirements into scalable system architecture, reliable APIs, and practical user-facing applications.

I've built production SaaS applications for international clients, including a reservation system for a surf and yoga retreat in Morocco with booking, scheduling, and reporting. I'm also building an online content management and administration system for an online surf academy.

At CorporateTools, I helped scale a communication platform to more than 1,000 active users, building Rails/PostgreSQL backend systems and Vue components while modernizing legacy database integrations. Earlier, I mentored full-stack development students at LearningFuze and built Python, GIS, and JavaScript data-analysis tools as an environmental engineer at Dudek.
