Open to SWE / AI Engineering roles — Let's talk

Available for selected roles

Hire a product-minded engineer who can prove the work.

I build practical AI tools, Chrome extensions, and full-stack product surfaces with Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and a bias toward shipping. I am available for selected remote roles and freelance projects with New York, Miami, and US-based teams.

How I work remotely

Calm process, visible momentum, practical communication.

Async first, not async only

I write decisions down, keep context visible, and use calls when ambiguity is blocking progress.

Small shipped increments

I prefer narrow slices with visible outcomes over large branches that hide risk for weeks.

Product judgment in the code

I care about the user path, the technical trade-off, and the maintenance cost at the same time.

Clear ownership

If I take a problem, I keep pushing until it is resolved, documented, or escalated with options.

Ready for the next conversation

If the role needs product sense plus engineering follow-through, I am worth a call.
