Software Development

full-stack development

Python

I use Python for its versatility—powering automation, AI workflows, and backend services across my projects. It’s clean, fast to develop with, and ideal for connecting systems or building tools that simplify complex tasks.

Ruby on Rails

I use Ruby on Rails for building full-featured web apps quickly and cleanly. Its convention-over-configuration approach lets me focus on product logic instead of boilerplate, making it perfect for launching powerful, scalable sites with minimal overhead.

Javascript

I use JavaScript to bring ideas to life in the browser—building dynamic, interactive experiences that connect seamlessly with backend systems. It’s the backbone of modern web development and a core part of nearly every project I build.

C#

I use C# when performance, structure, and scalability matter most. It’s my go-to for building robust desktop and backend applications, where strong typing and reliability make long-term maintenance effortless.

DEV-OPS

Jenkins

Jenkins is mainly a scheduler and automation tool, not a code updater. It doesn’t change or pull code on its own — instead, it runs tasks you set up, like testing, building, or deploying software. Think of it as a powerful “to-do list manager” for computers: you tell it what to do and when to do it.

Airflow

Airflow is also a scheduler and automation tool, but it’s designed more for managing data workflows than software builds. Think of it as a planner for data tasks — it schedules and runs jobs like pulling data from databases, cleaning it, and loading it somewhere else.

Git

Git is a tool that helps people keep track of changes in their code. It’s like a time machine for projects — you can see who changed what, go back to earlier versions, and work on different features at the same time without messing up the main code. It makes teamwork easier by letting multiple people edit the same project safely.

Docker

Docker is a tool that packages software so it runs the same everywhere. Think of it like putting your app and everything it needs (like libraries and settings) into a sealed box called a “container.” It’s great for developers who want consistent, portable environments.

Testing

I make sure your software works exactly as it should before it ever reaches your users. By catching issues early and thoroughly testing every feature, I prevent bugs, reduce downtime, and give you the confidence that your product will run smoothly. With careful testing, your clients get a seamless experience, and you save time, money, and frustration down the line.

Tooling

I build custom tools tailored specifically to your software and business needs. These tools monitor performance, validate that services are running efficiently, and catch potential issues before they impact your users. By creating bespoke solutions, I help your systems stay reliable, fast, and optimized—giving you confidence that everything behind the scenes is running exactly as it should.

Infrastructure

The systems that run your software behind the scenes are just as important as the app itself. I design and manage infrastructure that keeps your site or application fast, secure, and always available. Whether your business grows or faces unexpected demand, your software will remain stable and reliable, giving you and your users peace of mind.

Full-Stack Develpment

I handle both the visible parts of your software—the pages, features, and user interfaces—and the invisible backend systems that make it all work. This full-stack approach ensures everything fits together perfectly, providing your clients with a smooth, professional experience while keeping maintenance and future updates straightforward.

Documentation

Many companies struggle with messy or missing documentation, which can make software hard to maintain and slow down future updates. I specialize in creating clear, organized documentation that explains how your software works, how to maintain it, and how to extend it safely. By hiring me, you get a clean, reliable record of your systems, so your team can work efficiently and avoid costly mistakes down the line.
