What I Help With
Problems I solve, not just technologies I know.
Backend API Development
Stop losing time to brittle integrations. Clean, versioned REST APIs that connect your systems and third-party platforms — and stay connected.
Workflow Automation
Eliminate the manual work your team does on repeat. Automated workflows that replace data entry, reporting, and approval processes with software that runs on its own.
Legacy Modernization
Turn a liability into a stable foundation. Phased modernization that reduces technical debt and risk incrementally — without taking operations offline.
Internal Business Tools
Replace the spreadsheets and workarounds your team uses instead of real tools. Dashboards, portals, and admin applications built around how work actually gets done.
AI-Assisted Software Tools
Add AI where it actually saves time. Document processing, data extraction, and productivity features that ship cleanly and integrate into existing operations.
Data & System Integration
Put an end to copy-paste data work. Clean integrations between databases, vendor platforms, and cloud services that give your team a single source of truth.
Cloud-Connected Applications
Backend services built to run reliably and scale — deployed on AWS, GCP, or Azure with the patterns that hold up in production.
Industrial / Operational Software
Software for environments where downtime costs money. Manufacturing, operations, and industrial systems built for the reliability requirements that standard business software ignores.
Cross-Stack Services
Value beyond a single language or framework — most real problems span multiple systems.
API Integration
Connect business systems, databases, vendor platforms, and cloud services into reliable data flows.
- REST API development

Workflow Automation
Turn manual business processes into repeatable software workflows that reduce operational overhead.

Legacy Modernization
Improve aging systems without disrupting the business — phased, practical, and measurable.
- Refactoring old codebases
- Replacing brittle scripts
- Web / cloud platform migration
- Improving deployment pipelines
- Database cleanup
AI-Assisted Internal Tools
Practical AI features where they actually help — document processing, extraction, and productivity workflows.
- Document summarization
- AI-assisted data extraction
- Form and report generation
- Knowledge-base assistants
- LLM-powered workflow helpers

Is This a Good Fit?
Honest criteria to help both sides decide quickly.
Strong fit
- You need a senior engineer who can work independently.
- You have APIs, databases, internal tools, or automation needs.
- You need someone comfortable with messy real-world systems.
- You want practical modernization, not over-engineering.
- You need contract or C2C support in or near Charlotte.
Probably not a match
- Pure junior-level frontend or design-only work.
- Low-budget website-only projects with no backend.
- Roles requiring permanent W2 employment only.
