Systems I've built

Selected work

Shorter stories

Different problems, different scales - each one required owning the outcome.

View Aviater details Aviater

Small aviation operators had no affordable tool for compliance-aware mission planning - most software was built for large fleets and priced accordingly. Built Aviater solo from spec to deployment: real-time pilot eligibility signals, duty time enforcement, drag-drop scheduling, and full audit trails. Charter operators can now plan compliant missions and log flights without a dedicated compliance officer.

Schools in India needed a mobile ERP without separate development for every institution. Built Accevate's student, teacher, and management apps across Ionic/Cordova/Angular and Expo/React Native, covering attendance, marks, timetables, fees, transport, homework, notifications, calls, and white-label school deployments.

Agencies needed to search prospect contacts, provision sending infrastructure, launch outreach, and hand results back to CRM without stitching five tools together. Built STF Leads Machine: lead search and lists, Instantly campaigns, Zapmail domains/mailboxes, GoHighLevel sync, analytics, admin tooling, and Google Sheets/Mapbox lead sync.

Free trial abuse - disposable emails, shared accounts, repeated signups - was draining SaaS products with no simple fix. Co-built Vouch: email validation combined with device fingerprinting and IP reputation scoring, returning a single ALLOW/FLAG/BLOCK signal. One API call gives product teams a risk score they can act on without building their own fraud stack.

Process

How I build

01

Understand the problem, not just the spec.

I talk directly to the founder or PM before touching anything. What actually needs to be built, what the edge cases are, and what success looks like - clarified early, not discovered mid-build.

02

Define the system before writing code.

Architecture, data flow, API contracts, and states are mapped first. At GrowthDay and Appointy, this step alone prevented weeks of rework on both the frontend and infrastructure.

03

Ship a working version fast.

A usable end-to-end slice first - not polished, but real. At GrowthDay, every major feature started rough and was refined after seeing how users actually behaved.

04

Iterate with real usage.

Analytics, logs, and user behaviour drive changes - not assumptions. Mixpanel and Statsig at GrowthDay guided every significant product decision after initial launch.

05

Stabilize and scale for production.

Performance, crash monitoring, retries, fallbacks, and edge cases. A feature isn't done until it handles the unhappy path and scales under real load. At GrowthDay, this meant 20x infrastructure scale at 25% lower cost. E2E coverage with Playwright and Jest before every release.

06

Leave it clean.

Reusable components, clear contracts, documented decisions. The 232-package Saastack framework was built this way - so any engineer could pick up any package without needing context from the last one.

Most projects break at step 1 or 2. Getting those right early is where most of the speed comes from.

Availability

Work together

Full-time

For teams where I can lead, build, and raise the bar.

I've led 15+ engineers at GrowthDay and 8 at Appointy while staying hands-on. I'm looking for roles where I can own technical direction, work directly with product/founders, and still write code.

Technical Lead / Staff Engineer Senior Product Engineer Principal Frontend Engineer Founding Engineer (early-stage) Engineering Manager (hands-on)

Contract

Selective consulting when the problem matches.

Full-stack builds from zero - Speak To Freedom, Aviater, My Trainer ConnectArchitecture and infrastructure overhauls - GrowthDay AWS migrationPayment integrations and checkout optimization - EventRoostr, GrowthDayMobile and web delivery - Accevate (Ionic/Angular), Okto Digital (Ionic Vue)

I scope it, architect it, build it, and deploy it. You get a production system, not a handoff document.

Timeline

GrowthDay Technical Lead
  • Worked directly with executives to define product direction. Led 15+ engineers across frontend, backend, mobile, and cloud - grew platform from scratch to 400K users.
  • Drove 9% checkout conversion lift and 25% payment failure reduction - infrastructure and mobile platform work.
  • Rebuilt AWS infrastructure with CloudFormation and Terraform. Scalability up 20x, costs down 25%.
2021 to 2026 400K+ users 20x scale
Appointy Intern → Engineering Lead
  • Architected Saastack - a modular, hook-based SaaS framework serving 1M+ users. Same codebase powered Google and Telefónica without forking.
  • Led a team of 8; caching cut load times from 15s to under 1s. FullCalendar integration cut delivery timelines from a year to a month.
  • Grew from intern to engineering lead - frontend ownership, platform architecture, and client delivery across 4 years.
2015 to 2021 1M+ users 15s→<1s load time
Contract Engineer
