I build and ship the whole product — the interface people use, the API behind it, and the deployment pipeline that keeps it running. Most of my work is with early-stage teams who need a first version in the market quickly and a codebase they can keep growing afterwards.

• Product engineering — turning a rough brief into a working, measurable first release
• API design — clear contracts, versioned endpoints, documentation a team can read
• Performance — fast first paint, lean payloads, measured on real devices
• Handover — readable code, tests and notes so the next developer is not stuck
