Quick answers to common questions
I work on product-focused engineering engagements: cloud-native platforms, AI features (RAG/chatbots), architecture and scalability, and end-to-end delivery (web/mobile + backend). I’m especially effective in teams that need hands-on leadership plus strong execution.
We start with a short discovery call to understand your goals, constraints, and timelines. Then I propose a clear scope, milestones, and a delivery plan (architecture + execution). For ongoing work, we align on a weekly cadence and measurable outcomes.
Yes. I build production-grade RAG systems (vector DB + retrieval + guardrails), connect them to your internal knowledge sources, and ship them as reliable products. I can also add observability, evaluation, and continuous improvement workflows.
Yes. I can review your current architecture, identify bottlenecks and risks, and propose a pragmatic roadmap. I also mentor teams on best practices (microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD, reliability, code quality) and help implement the changes.
Common stacks include TypeScript/Node.js, React/Next.js, Python/FastAPI, Kubernetes on AWS (EKS/ECS), and modern data stores (Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, vector DBs like Qdrant). I pick what fits the product and team.
It depends on scope. A focused MVP can take 3–6 weeks, while larger platforms or AI rollouts can take 6–16+ weeks. I prefer shipping in milestones so you get value early and can iterate based on feedback.
I offer both project-based pricing (fixed scope/milestones) and hourly/retainer options. Pricing depends on complexity, risk, and timeline. After discovery, I’ll provide a transparent estimate and suggested delivery approach.
Yes—depending on my current workload. I do consulting, architecture guidance, and interim leadership (VP R&D / Tech Lead) for teams that need direction and hands-on delivery.
Thoughts, tutorials, and insights
Agent skills make AI assistants reliable: repeatable workflows, safe defaults, and less prompt churn. Here’s how Claude Code skills and Vercel’s React rules help teams ship faster with fewer regressions.
A practical playbook for improving day-to-day delivery: connect Slack, Jira, Monday.com, and GitHub using MCP-based AI agents for notifications, triage, status sync, code review feedback loops, and automated follow-ups.
A behind-the-scenes breakdown of this portfolio: Next.js 16.1.3 App Router, next-intl (he default + /en), Sanity CMS, Clerk auth for AI chat, Resend email, and full SEO with sitemap/robots/JSON-LD — optimized for static builds.
How I ship AI chat features safely: Clerk-gated access, OpenAI ChatKit sessions, prompt/response guardrails, and performance-minded client loading in a Next.js 16 App Router codebase.
Patterns I use to keep a Next.js App Router project maintainable: strict TypeScript, CMS-driven content with Sanity, stable GROQ queries, and practical trade-offs when the CMS evolves faster than the code.
How I approach real-time UX (chat, live updates): WebSockets, auth/session boundaries, backpressure, and how to keep performance predictable in modern Next.js + Node.js systems.
A practical checklist for speeding up Postgres-backed apps: query plans, indexes, caching with Redis, and what to watch for when you run on serverless Postgres like Neon.
What I learned moving into leadership: aligning product + engineering, setting quality bars (CI/CD), mentoring, and shipping reliably while still staying hands-on technically.
