Websites, systems, and R&D for people building something real.
I'm a cybersecurity R&D engineer who ships product. If you're a founder or a small team without in-house engineering, I can take an idea from a sketch to something live - and stay long enough to make sure it holds up.
- Founders who need a first product built properly, not prototyped twice
- Small businesses whose website is doing none of the work it should
- Teams that need senior help on architecture, security, or an AI-agent build
What I do
Three things, done properly, rather than everything done thinly.
Websites & product front-ends
Fast, accessible marketing sites and product UIs. Built on Next.js, deployed so you can update content without calling me.
System architecture & backend
APIs, data models, infrastructure and the security thinking that usually gets bolted on too late. Go, Kotlin, TypeScript.
AI agents & R&D
Agentic systems that do real work rather than demo well. I build these for myself too - Gaia is open source, so you can read exactly how I think.
Recent work
Shipped and live - click through and judge for yourself.
How it works
No mystery, no black box.
Scope it honestly
A call, then a written plan with what I'd build, what I'd skip, and what it costs. Free, and yours to keep either way.
Build in the open
You get a live preview URL from day one and a weekly update. No black box, no surprise reveal at the end.
Hand it over properly
Documented, deployed, and yours. I'll show you how to run it, and I'm around afterwards if something breaks.
Rough pricing
Every project is quoted properly after we talk - this is the ballpark.

1-2 weeks, design and build
Full site or MVP
from $6,000
3-6 weeks, scoped per project

Got something to build?
Tell me what it is and what it needs to do. I'll tell you honestly if I'm the right person.
