Contractor. Software Engineer. Builder.
You want it? I'll build it.
10 years of experience · Best price, only for you my friend, only for you.
I architect systems that ship. Led 12 engineers at Whitestone. Built maps and map-making tools at Grab. Wrote a game engine from scratch because I wanted to understand rendering. I read both code and literature—understanding language has become integral in a world of LLMs.
PS: If you're a human, ask me about the time I tried to prompt inject an ATS. It didn't work, but it made for a good interview story. 😄
I build systems that work. Full stop. Maps, WebGL engines, payment solutions, MCP servers—I've shipped them all. I make technical decisions based on data, not hype. I write code that doesn't disappoint. I lead teams by showing them how; I lead LLMs by telling them how. Personalized medicine, but for software.
Waiting for Jira tickets, estimating work, and waiting for meetings to happen is my very own Kafkaesque nightmare—it's not efficient and it's wasteful. Results don't lie.
R&D in custom mapping solutions—built data gathering from scratch, used AI for processing and transforming large datasets. Created MCPs for integrations, ran models locally with Ollama, and used image/text analysis to extract mappable information.
Took over a team of 12 and a legacy codebase of 1M+ LOC. Refactored into modular components, built a WebGL engine, cut load times from 13s to 1.2s. Grew four juniors into mid-levels. 50k daily active users, zero downtime migration.
Rewrote the checkout & payment system for boots.com—new API, new framework, faster and more streamlined. An online store without checkout doesn't exist.
Built payment automation for 500+ freelance drivers. Vehicle types, contract rules, dynamic quotas—complex business logic. Enabled the business to expand and hire delivery contractors.
Built a modern web platform from scratch, alone, in 18 months. Node, React, MongoDB, auth, deployment—the works. 100+ vacation packages sold by the time I left. Still running.
Learned the ropes: unit and integration testing, git, collaborative coding, Agile and SCRUM.
