I design, build and run products end to end.
Nine years shipping web and mobile products in React Native, TypeScript, Node and Postgres. Good Fights is a Mobile and Web app I built and operate from the database up: apps on both stores, a Next.js site, the API behind them, and the scrapers and LLM enrichment that keep it current — 3,415 users, 76,516 ratings, all on infrastructure I operate myself.

02How I build
AI in production, not just in my editor.
Everyone says they use AI now. Here is what that actually looks like when it has to survive contact with real users.
LLM features with guardrails
Good Fights enriches its catalogue with Claude and gates every result on a confidence score, so nothing the model is unsure about reaches a user. There are unit tests that check the model's output — including one that verifies quoted material is real. I use Claude Code daily too, but the part that counts is the model running in production.
Tested, and shipped by a pipeline
Jest on the API — including tests that check what the model produced — type-checking and linting on every package, and more than 30 scheduled jobs, built as GitHub Actions workflows and now run from VPS cron, covering the scrapers, enrichment, database backups and content checks. Over-the-air updates push a fix to users without waiting on app-store review.
I run the infrastructure
A Docker-built API on Render, a Linux VPS where systemd and cron run the scrapers, the live trackers and the jobs that have to happen at 4am, Postgres with Prisma migrations, Cloudflare R2 for images, PostHog for what people actually do. No platform team behind me — when production breaks at 11pm, it's me.
This site is a working example.
Designed and coded with Claude Code, with me reviewing every decision — statically generated, accessible, fast, and dark-mode aware. If you want to know how something here was built, ask me.
03Experience
Coder and manager, at small and mid-sized organizations.
I've written the code, sat with the customer, and run the team — which is why I'm comfortable being handed any of the three.
