About

I’m a senior full-stack engineer who builds AI features that hold up in production, and the Laravel, Python and TypeScript apps around them.

Agencies and product teams use me when a client wants “AI in it” and needs it to actually work: an agent that does a real job, search over the client’s own documents with sources, or an MCP server so the client’s product works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.

My open-source MCP server for Coolify has 600+ GitHub stars and about 18,800 npm installs a month. I’ve shipped four more, plus a two-sided marketplace (Laravel, React, Stripe Connect) taken from a dead codebase to live in four months.

15+ years in, including seven leading platform engineering at a global pharma company (1,000+ sites, 500M+ events at peak). I run 28 production apps on my own infrastructure, so audits, performance problems, caching and deploys are day-to-day work, not theory. I’ve worked white-label under agency names for over a decade.
