I ship products.
Fast.
Developer and fractional CTO for founders who need a working product — not a roadmap.
I write the code, shape the product, and get it live. One person, full stack, no handoffs. You talk to the person who builds it.
Rails + Hotwire for backends that ship in days. React + Expo for native mobile. AI when it solves a real problem — not as a buzzword.
I work best with founders who have an idea and zero patience for slow. Prototype in days. MVP in weeks. Real product in months.
What you get
Prototype Sprint
A working prototype in 3–5 days. Real enough to put in front of users or investors. You walk away with the demo, a technical plan, and a clear scope for what comes next.
MVP Build
A launchable product in 2–6 weeks. Core flows working, deployed, monitored. Not a throwaway — a foundation you keep building on. I ship weekly so you see progress, not promises.
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership on a weekly cadence. I'll set the architecture, make the hard calls, write code myself, and help you hire when the time comes. All the clarity of a CTO, none of the full-time overhead.
Track record
Nutrition and fitness platform — Rails API, React Native + Expo apps. 3,000+ active users and growing. Every line of code, every design decision, ours.
More products in development.
Social Impact
Building technology for people who need it most.
Lead developer on a Rails platform and mobile apps that connected thousands of survivors with resources, community, and ongoing support.
Rails and React Native platforms for organizations supporting vulnerable families. Long-running, quietly impactful work.
Startups
Helping founders go from idea to funded product.
Founding developer at a UK pet-tech startup. Built the prototype that helped close ~$200K in pre-seed. Rails, fast iteration, real users from week one.
Additional startup work available on request.
