What I'm looking for

I'm available immediately for full-time remote work and am open to relocation on completion of my final year in 2026.

At Bluu Software, I deliver software products across web, mobile, AI, fintech and agritech, including products used by paying clients in production. I work from requirements and system design through development, deployment and Linux hosting.

I serve as lead architect on most products, building web platforms with React, Next.js and Node.js, alongside mobile apps released to the App Store and Google Play. My work also includes data models, REST APIs, payments and WhatsApp Business integrations.

Among the products I've delivered are an enterprise-scale insurance SaaS platform and a cross-platform logistics and grain operations app. I also integrate the Claude API and AI automation into client products for document handling, communication and reporting workflows.
