Products built and run on AWSfor founders and teams
Toronto, ON · Working remotely
I build production software end to end: AWS back ends, web and mobile apps, AI features.
About
How I build and run AWS systems for clients.
- I build AWS back ends that are secure by default and observable in production.
- On top of them I build the product people use: web in Next.js, iOS in SwiftUI.
- I pick tradeoffs on latency, cost and ops burden, and write down why.
- 2 products in production
- Stripe billing live
- Infra as code (CDK)
- Alarms and runbooks
Ways to work together
Architecture review
A written review of your AWS setup: security, cost and reliability, with fixes ranked.
Build a product
From first sketch to a live web or mobile product on AWS, with sign-in and payments.
Fix or scale a system
Find out why a system is slow, costly or fragile, fix it, and leave alarms behind.
Add AI features
LLM features inside your product, with checks on what the model sends back.
How a project runs: a short call, a written scope, then a demo every week. The code and the AWS account stay yours.
I reply within one business day.
