Building Custom Software That Solves Real Business Problems
Every successful business relies on software that is fast, scalable, and built around its unique workflow not one-size-fits-all solutions.
I help startups, agencies, and businesses transform ideas into production ready applications by building:
• Custom Web Applications
• Cross-Platform Mobile Apps (iOS & Android)
• Desktop Applications (Windows)
• REST API Development & Integration
• SaaS Platforms & Business Portals
• AI-Powered Features & Automation
I work with technologies including ASP.NET Core, React, Node.js, .NET MAUI, WPF, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Azure, AWS, and OpenAI APIs to deliver reliable, maintainable software.
Whether you're launching an MVP, modernizing an existing application, or scaling your product, I'm always interested in discussing new ideas and long-term collaborations.
If you're looking for a software developer who values clean architecture, performance, and clear communication, feel free to reach out.

Your Business Doesn't Need More Tools. It Needs Better Systems.
Most businesses don't have a software problem. They have an integration problem.
Their CRM is disconnected from their database. Their spreadsheets require manual updates. Their reports take hours to prepare. Their teams waste valuable time moving information between platforms.
That's where I come in.
I'm a Full-Stack AI Engineer specializing in building connected, intelligent business systems.
What I can build for your business:
CRM & ERP Integrations — Connect business platforms, databases, and third-party services through APIs.
Workflow Automation — Eliminate repetitive processes with intelligent automation.
Custom Dashboards — Turn scattered business data into actionable insights.
Data Pipelines — Build reliable systems for collecting, processing, validating, and synchronizing data.
AI-Powered Solutions — Integrate LLMs, intelligent agents, and automation into existing workflows.
Custom Software — Build complete web applications and business platforms from architecture to deployment.
I've independently developed complex digital platforms, including government-level systems, international applications, and AI-powered products.
My approach is simple:
Understand the business problem. Design the right architecture. Build the complete solution. Make it reliable.
I'm interested in working with founders, agencies, and businesses looking to modernize their operations and build software that actually solves problems.
Have a complex workflow or an integration challenge? Let's build something that works.

When a CRM-to-database sync fails halfway, how do you handle it: idempotent retries, or a reconciliation pass afterward? That's usually where integrations start to drift.
Resolve: an AI support agent that answers from a company’s own policies, looks up orders, and escalates weak matches to a human instead of guessing. A human approves replies before they go out.
Live demo: support-resolver.vercel.app
For the human approval step, I'd show the exact policy passage and its effective date beside the draft. Does Resolve flag a reply for re-review if the policy changes while it waits for approval?
Same app. Same model. Same spec.
Built with Angular, it cost $4.97 per run. Built with Hono + htmx, $2.67.
The framework you pick is now a line on your AI bill.
Nobody budgets for this yet. Here is the data.
Nolan Lawson (engineer at Socket, the PouchDB maintainer) had Claude Opus 5.5 build the same small Pokémon app 12 times over, once per framework, 5 runs each (3 for Angular), medians reported.
Every build had to pass the same spec suite.
→ Cheapest: Hono + htmx, $2.67, 4.26M tokens, 1,370 lines, 8.6 min
→ Astro $2.76 · Nuxt $2.82 · plain Vite $2.98
→ Next.js $3.14 · React Router $3.81 · SvelteKit $4.28
→ Most expensive: Angular, $4.97, 9.76M tokens, 2,009 lines, 17.2 min
→ Source: nolanlawson.com, Oct 28 2026. Two Angular runs failed the spec and were counted as failures.
The gap is not the model. It is the ceremony.
Angular made the agent write 47% more code for the same features. More code costs tokens twice: once to write it, once to re-read it on the next change.
Plain Vite was not the cheapest. No framework means no conventions, so the agent invents its own, and that costs tokens too.
The cheap column was also the fast column. Astro, Hono + htmx and Lit all scored 100 on mobile Lighthouse with almost no JavaScript shipped.
Why it works that way:
An agent pays for every file it opens.
Config, boilerplate, framework docs, a second read after each error.
Less ceremony is fewer pages before the first useful line.
Call it the ceremony tax: everything your stack makes the agent type before it ships a feature.
I run a one-person company on AI agents. Most of my code is written by them now, and I watch tokens per task the way I used to watch cloud bills. The same feature costs me very different amounts depending on which codebase the agent is standing in.
If agents write your code, the framework is no longer a developer-experience choice. It is a unit cost.
Rule 1: Measure tokens per task, not per month. A monthly bill hides which stack is burning it.
Rule 2: Pick the stack the agent types least in. Fewer lines written today is fewer lines re-read tomorrow.
Rule 3: Cheap must still pass the spec. Every run here cleared the same tests and Lighthouse; cheaper and better landed in the same column.
One small app, one model, one author's benchmark, and the author says so himself. Treat it as a pattern, not a law. The direction matches what I see every day.
Angular is good software. I mean that. It was built for teams of humans.
AI did not make frameworks free.
It put a price on them.
For an agent-built app, would you go Minimal or Batteries? One word is enough. 👇
