I'm a senior technical specialist for startups. I offer assessment, planning, strategy, architecture, design, build, deploy and management services.
I have 25+ years of hands-on experience across all IT roles. I tune my deliverables to exactly what the client needs. I don't do one-size-fits-all solutions. I know how to use AI intelligently, when it works and when it doesn't. I don't do vibe coding.
Some of the things I've done recently:
- Stealth startup: Agentic build of a v1 streaming service: production quality design, billing/analytics/reporting engines, PWA, catalog import, play tracking
- Publishing startup: Built a pipeline for automated translation, validation and generation of .indd documents for ebooks
- Fintech startup: Greenfield DevOps implementation (cloud architecture, IaC, CI/CD) in a regulated environment
- Social media startup: ML pipeline for programmatic detection of social and music trends based on media plays
- Ecommerce startup: Designed an ML-powered analysis system to correlate search results and purchase behaviour
