18+ years buildingColombia, working worldwideI design and build
I'm a software engineer who also designs, so I can take a project from a rough idea to a shipped product without a handoff in the middle.
I've done it for two-person startups and for large enterprise teams.
How I actually work
I've been writing software for eighteen years, long enough to be suspicious of anything that promises to be effortless. I like small, well-tested changes, code your team can read without me in the room, and saying "that's not worth building" when it isn't. I work in the open where I can: my Drupal module quietly runs on around 99,000 sites, and my TypeScript ORM, UQL, is out there for anyone to use. If we work together, you talk to the person writing the code. That's the whole pitch.
Have a project in mind?
Tell me what you're trying to build. I'll get back to you within a day with a couple of honest questions and a straight answer on whether I'm the right person for it.
The first call is free, and there's no pressure to hire me.
