Hire me
Working together
Two ways this usually goes: you need a product built end to end, or you need an extra engineer who does not need supervision. Both start with the same conversation.
Product
Build the product
You have a thing that needs to exist and reach real users. I take it from schema and API design through the interface to a server that runs it, and I stay on for the part everyone forgets: deploys, backups, the runbook and the first month of things going wrong.
- Good fit
- Founders and small teams without an engineering department; internal tools nobody has time to build.
- Wrong fit
- Work that needs five engineers in parallel. I would be the bottleneck and I would rather say so now.
Team
Join as an engineer
An extra pair of hands that does not need supervision: picks up a service, reads the code, asks the two questions that matter and then ships. Comfortable owning the unglamorous half - migrations, deployment, the on-call document nobody wrote.
- Good fit
- Teams that need Python or full-stack capacity, remote, with overlap on European hours.
- Wrong fit
- Roles where the work is mostly meetings about work.
Method
- three rules visible in every case study
How I work
-
Status is reported, not implied
Not everything on this site is finished, and the labels say so. A portfolio that grades everything "complete" is telling you about its author, just not the thing it meant to.
-
Every choice has a bill
SQLite instead of Postgres, one raycast instead of acoustics, generated levels instead of authored ones. Each of those bought something and cost something, and the cost is written down next to the choice.
-
Operations are part of the job
Backups on a timer, health endpoints, a runbook that a stranger could follow at 3am. Code that nobody can operate is a prototype no matter how well it is written.
Proof
Open it yourself
The shortest way to judge me is to open something that is already running and see how it behaves.
