How I got here.

The background is engineering. 5G software at Ericsson in Go and gRPC, full-stack work at Imprimo with React Native and Postgres, and mobile push-notification work at Fixvi. McMaster Computer Engineering and Management.

I built independent Next.js and Supabase projects on weekends through school. In 2025 Claude Code shortened the loop from idea to production. Paid AI workflow engagements for indie founders followed.

In 2025, CISNET, a Toronto IT certification training company, hired me to move their site off legacy PHP onto Next.js 16. The work covered 200+ SEO pages, 70+ redirects, seven types of structured data for search, a custom admin portal, Stripe checkout, and a Facebook Lead Ads pipeline. The build shipped Q4 2025, solo, in three months. I took over their SEO operation in April 2026, and early traffic and rankings are climbing.

2026 is the consultancy. Five engagement shapes: a free 30-minute scoping call, a fixed-price pilot build, a fixed-scope build sprint, a milestone-paid custom build, and an ops retainer for maintenance. Each paid engagement is quoted on scope, with a written spec before signing. The adjacent project, AIOpsForge, is a community for solo AI builders, in pre-launch at aiopsforge.dev.

How I work.

Clear scope upfront. Every engagement starts with a scoping call and a written proposal: fixed scope, fixed price, and a timeline, all agreed before any work begins.

Steady progress, regular check-ins. I build in focused sprints and share progress as I go. You get a working demo at each milestone and a short written summary, so you always know where the project stands.

Full handoff at the end. Everything is yours: the code in your own repository, deployed to your own accounts, with documentation so your team can run and extend it. No platform lock-in, and I stay available for support after launch.

What I don't do.

No graphic design, data science, customer-service chatbots, safety or alignment research, or full-time employment. I don't patch existing n8n, Make, or Zapier setups; I rewrite them in code on the client's own infrastructure. Solo by choice.
