Stop choosing between "fast" and "scalable."
Agencies are slow. Junior developers create technical debt.
As a Lead Product Engineer, I operate as a specialized strike team of one. I handle the architecture, the build, and the deployment—delivering Staff-level quality without the overhead.

What I Took from Addy Osmani's Agent Skills
Four skills from the agent-skills repo that changed how I plan, build, and document work with AI coding agents.
useRef vs useState in Streaming UIs

Why Banning useEffect Is Really About Agents
Factory's useEffect ban made headlines as a DX play. Their CEO said the thing nobody was talking about — they did it for agent effectiveness.
Common Questions
- 01 Do I need a PM to manage you?
- No. I can handle the architecture, ticket management, and execution. I communicate directly with stakeholders to keep overhead low.
- 02 What is your tech stack?
- I choose the right tool for the job, but I am fastest in React, Node, and TypeScript. If you have a specific legacy stack, let's discuss if I'm the right fit.
- 03 How do you handle pricing?
- I work on a fixed-project basis or a bi-weekly sprint rate. I do not bill hourly. This keeps our incentives aligned: I am focused on shipping your product, not logging hours.
