Senior software engineerLead architect

Senior software engineer for complex product systems.

I help teams build, stabilize, and scale web, mobile, API, and platform products across messy real-world domains.

8+ years production engineering
100+ web and mobile products delivered across client work
+8,000 users reported after Museum Advocate development
6,000+ salon listings supported in Serve Me marketplace

I’m strongest when the work needs both engineering depth and product judgment.

I can step into senior engineer, lead engineer, architect, frontend, backend, or full-stack roles where the product has real constraints: schedules, permissions, integrations, data ownership, legacy systems, mobile workflows, and production reliability.

Featured case studies

Two deeper examples of how I move products from fragile ideas or inherited systems into working platforms.

01 / Museum Advocate

Evolving an inherited art app into a museum-owned platform.

An Airtable/Firebase-backed mobile app became a three-product ecosystem: Museum Advocate for museums, ArtScene for public discovery, and AI Cataloging for mobile artwork capture.

Next.js React Native Node.js MongoDB Firebase Storage
Problem
The client team was still acting as the data-entry layer for museums, maintaining catalog data manually.
Owned
Solution architecture, API/data model direction, team delivery, migration work, integrations, deployment, and support.
Outcome
Museums could manage first-party collection data while the mobile apps moved onto a shared platform layer.
  • +8,000users reported by the client
  • 5K+public Google Play downloads for ArtScene
  • 3 appsdashboard, consumer app, and AI Cataloging connected through one ecosystem

02 / Serve Me

A booking marketplace that understood real salon operations.

Serve Me replaced a WordPress direction with a custom salon platform where availability came from real staffing, service, location, inventory, and accounting rules.

NestJS PostgreSQL PostGIS Redis Visma e-conomic
Problem
Salon booking could not be modeled as simple opening hours or fixed slots.
Owned
Architecture and most backend functionality, with frontend delivery led through the wider team.
Outcome
A marketplace and salon-operations platform validated through a closed pilot with real businesses.
  • 6,000+salon listings supported with PostGIS location search
  • 20-30salon pilot across booking, employees, and inventory workflows
  • Rules engineshifts, breaks, leave, existing bookings, service eligibility, and duration

MoneyInThePot Camelot Habits Made Fun
delivery loop
  1. 01 Model the domain

    Find the hidden rules first: who owns data, what changes state, and where off-the-shelf assumptions break.

  2. 02 Build the operational spine

    APIs, schemas, permissions, queues, integrations, and deployment paths that can survive real usage.

  3. 03 Keep delivery legible

    Small sprint decisions, honest technical tradeoffs, code review, and enough documentation for the team to move.

  4. 04 Harden after launch

    Reliability, security scanning, indexing, payload shape, and architecture adjustments once production starts teaching.

Have a product with messy rules?

I’m useful when the system has to model reality, not just render screens.
