Tampa, FL | Remote (US Eastern) | Contract, ~20 hrs/week (evenings + weekends, around a full-time job)I'm a full-stack + AI engineer, 5 years in. Looking for one side engagement I can actually commit to — nights and weekends, not a flaky "I'll get to it" thing.

Short version of what I'm good for: give me a problem and I'll hand back something deployed. I do the whole thing — backend, frontend, the data model, the infra, the deploy. You don't need to spec it out for me or check my work line by line.

Day job right now: I run one whole product area by myself at a property-management SaaS — a referral and commission platform for 800+ brokers with multi-party Stripe payouts, a pipeline that turns messy call transcripts into clean CRM data and took per-call logging from ~4 minutes down to seconds, and a context layer that keeps our AI chat/voice assistants grounded in real account data instead of guessing. I also built the automated code reviewer we use, which catches a good chunk of issues before anyone opens the PR.

Before this I led architecture on a multi-product SaaS platform at an ag-tech company (built it up from scratch, centralized auth + billing, event pipelines doing 100k+ records a week), and spent a couple years on a distributed IoT platform handling millions of sensor events a day.

On my own time I built Refyn — an AI resume-tailoring tool, designed/built/shipped solo. A Claude agent that reads a job description, finds the gaps, and generates a tailored resume; vector + LLM matching under the hood, sandboxed PDF compilation, running on AWS ECS.

Tech I reach for: TypeScript, Python, React/Next, Node/FastAPI, Postgres + pgvector, Redis, AWS, Claude API and Claude Code.Easiest way to find out if I'm useful: throw me a small paid scope and see. [email protected]
