A career built on products, not just pages

Founder

Founded and run an independent product studio whose flagship is StablePay — self-hosted stablecoin payment infrastructure that businesses deploy on their own servers. Not a processor and not a custodian: payment intents, links and invoices through a versioned API, signed webhooks, and an operator dashboard. Alongside it, Northframe (exception-first operations software) and Meridian (client workspaces and billing as hosted SaaS).

• Own product direction and engineering end to end, and the whole front-end surface: the studio site, per-product sites on subdomains, dashboards, and checkout
• Shaped StablePay as software rather than a service — signing keys, RPC providers, database, and secrets stay under the customer's control
• Keep the catalog honest with selected client builds, each with a written handover, plus a small set of free developer tools

React Developer → Front-End Team Lead

Grew from individual contributor to lead: own critical React/Next features, set front-end standards, run reviews, and align engineering with design and stakeholders on a multi-squad product.

• Introduced the front-end conventions, review process, and component library the squads share
• Led the migration of key surfaces to the App Router with no feature freeze
• Mentor mid-level engineers through code review and pairing without becoming a bottleneck

Founder

Led an agency from proposal through delivery: product discovery, technical architecture, and hands-on build for web apps and early Web3 initiatives — hiring specialists when scope demanded it.

• Ran discovery, scoping, and delivery for dozens of client engagements
• Set the technical direction and did the hands-on build on most projects
• Learned to scope honestly and say no to work that did not fit

Front-End Developer / Theme & Plugin Developer

Authored sellable HTML/CSS themes, jQuery plugins, and custom map integrations. Focused on documentation and consistent patterns so non-expert buyers could extend templates safely.

• Shipped commercial themes used by thousands of buyers
• Wrote the documentation and support material — learned to explain code to non-experts
• Built reusable patterns so each new theme was faster than the last

Front-End Developer

Implemented responsive UIs and asset pipelines for local and regional clients, collaborating closely with back-end and design to keep iteration cycles short.

• Built responsive marketing and product UIs on tight timelines
• Set up the asset and build pipeline the team reused across clients

Freelance Front-End Developer

Built bespoke marketing sites, WordPress/PHP customization, and early JavaScript-driven interfaces for a global client base — from quick MVPs to multi-page brand sites.

• Delivered for clients across time zones with async communication
• Covered the full stack of the era: markup, CSS, jQuery, PHP, and WordPress
• Built the habits — clear estimates, clear updates — that still shape how I work
