What I Deliver
Product Architecture and SaaS Consulting
Transform your product vision into scalable architecture. I design systems that grow from MVP to enterprise scale, ensuring your SaaS foundation can handle rapid growth while maintaining performance and reliability.
High Traffic and Enterprise System Design
Build systems that don't break under pressure. I architect high-performance solutions handling millions of requests daily, with optimized APIs, intelligent database strategies, and multi-layer caching for peak efficiency.
DevOps, Infrastructure, and CI/CD Automation
Eliminate deployment friction and infrastructure headaches. I set up automated pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring systems that reduce operational overhead while increasing system reliability and team velocity.
AI, Automation, and LLM Integrations
Turn AI into competitive advantage. I build intelligent automation workflows using n8n, NocoDB, OpenAI, and custom LLM integrations that streamline operations, enhance user experiences, and unlock new capabilities.
Team Leadership and Engineering Management
Build high-performing engineering teams. I establish clear SOPs, implement delivery frameworks, and mentor teams to improve execution velocity, code quality, and accountability across all levels.
Startup Advisory and Technical Direction
Navigate the technical challenges of scaling. I help founders refine MVPs, validate technical approaches, and build scalable foundations that align with growth targets and monetization strategies from day one.
