Top-rated U.S. SaaS engineer, product owner, and technical lead with 15+ years of experience, $388K in lifetime Guru earnings, 248 completed transactions across 35 employers, and 100% feedback across 71 reviews.

I help SaaS and web-product teams stabilize live systems, reduce technical debt, and ship production-ready platforms with less risk. I lead work from discovery and architecture through hands-on development, QA, release, and long-term support. Through The SaaS Masters and Bluegrass Media, I have delivered healthcare compliance portals, recruiting and staffing platforms, AI-enabled mobile and web apps, WordPress/LearnDash systems, eCommerce products, and API and Stripe integrations.

My core stack includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, PHP/WordPress, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Supabase, AWS, Stripe, React Native, and Flutter. Engagements include application audits and code reviews, rescue sprints, 90-day product roadmaps, fractional technical leadership, custom SaaS development, payment integrations, and ongoing retainers.

Clients choose me for clear scope, direct communication, early risk visibility, dependable follow-through, and maintainable software. Available Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm Central for fixed-price or hourly engagements.
