Summary

Full-stack developer and AI solutions engineer with four years of shipped, in-production work: web platforms, mobile apps, and backend systems built end to end for businesses across GPS telematics, hospitality, sports-tech, and e-commerce. Designs when a project needs it, owns infrastructure after launch instead of handing it off, and is currently going deeper into AI engineering: Python, Flask, retrieval-augmented generation, and evaluating LLM systems in production.

Experience

Independent Full-Stack Developer & AI Solutions Engineer

Freelance, direct client engagements

  • Design, build, and ship production web and mobile platforms end to end, sourced entirely through direct referrals and personal connections rather than a freelance platform or agency, from first conversation through post-launch support.
  • Delivered full-scope platforms across GPS/fleet telematics, hospitality, sports-tech, and e-commerce, covering backend architecture, frontend, mobile apps, and infrastructure on each.
  • Built a custom Python service parsing raw Teltonika GPS-device protocol packets over TCP for a fleet-management platform architected to scale past 10,000 devices.
  • Integrated AI voice agents and n8n workflow automations to remove real manual operational work from client teams.
  • Owns infrastructure and support after every launch rather than handing projects off, and continues maintaining each platform listed below.

Selected Projects

Madicom

Designer & full-stack developer

A GPS fleet-management platform built completely from scratch: brand identity, Figma design, the customer-facing website, the operator platform, a companion mobile app, and a custom Python service that parses real Teltonika GPS-device protocol packets over raw TCP. Built to scale to 10,000+ devices.

  • Laravel 12

WelkomNL

Designer & full-stack developer

A platform helping international workers, students, and families settle in the Netherlands, built end to end across four codebases: a Laravel backend and admin panel, a React Native mobile app, a Next.js marketing site on a headless CMS, and a standalone job-aggregation service scraping 20+ Dutch recruitment sites. Includes AI document scanning, an AI CV builder, and a live integration with a government-run support point in a 10-municipality pilot region.

  • Laravel 12
  • React Native (Expo SDK 54)
  • Next.js 16 + Sanity
  • Node.js / Express

The Palms Catering

Full-stack developer

A corporate catering ordering platform covering the full order lifecycle: menu browsing with per-category minimums, a multi-step checkout with live buffet-slot availability, Stripe payment with a bank-transfer fallback, a customer rewards program, and an admin panel managing the full pipeline through to driver assignment and delivery confirmation.

  • Laravel 13
  • Livewire 4
  • Flux UI
  • Alpine.js
  • Tailwind v4

Padel Rating & Stats

Full-stack developer

An AI-powered padel stats platform live across a player app and a club-owner app. A match recorded at a partner club's court camera runs through a GPU inference pipeline, and ratings, stats, and auto-generated video highlights land back in the app in around 10 minutes. Live in 4 partner clubs across 3 countries.

  • Laravel 12
  • MongoDB
  • Firebase Realtime Database
  • RunPod GPU inference
  • Stripe
  • Next.js 16

Kitbox

Solo creator

A Chrome extension built to solve daily workflow needs, starting with image and file conversion and growing into 63 offline tools: formatters, page-inspection utilities, dev utilities, design tools, text tools. Zero backend, zero tracking, no accounts. Two tools run genuine on-device AI (transcription, background removal), lazy-loaded only when invoked. Publicly open source.

  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Vite
  • Zustand
  • Chrome Manifest V3
  • Transformers.js

Easy Stay Palermo

Designer & full-stack developer

A boutique vacation-rental site for Palermo properties, designed and built without Figma: brand system, motion language, and layout specified directly as design tokens. Booking, payment, and property availability run entirely through Lodgify, configured end to end in the Lodgify dashboard; the site's own code reads that data and embeds Lodgify's booking widgets, re-themed to match the design system.

  • Next.js 16 (static export)
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind v4
  • GSAP + Lenis
  • Lodgify

Education

No formal degree, by choice

  • Completed secondary schooling (through Class 12) in India.
  • Chose self-directed, project-based learning over a traditional CS/BCA degree after finding the standard curriculum consistently behind the industry it claims to prepare graduates for, a conclusion several degree-holders working the same jobs reached independently.
  • Financial circumstances also made the multi-year, low-return path a poor fit at the time.
  • Four years of shipped, in-production client work since stands in as the credential.
