What I do now
It’s been a long time since I wrote anything here. Almost eight years. The blog is still here, I just never had the time to write (Nah, I’m just lazy)
Either way, I want to start again. So let me start with what I’m doing now.
Quick re-introduction
I’m a freelance full-stack TypeScript developer. I work on SaaS backends, connect different systems and APIs together, and help teams build things that actually work in production. My usual stack is Node.js, Express, React, Next.js, and AWS.
I work independently with a small number of clients. I’m not trying to build an agency — just doing good work with people I can actually help.
What I was doing the last few years
For last eight years I worked as a long-term contractor for a few number of clients. Video Saas platform Ziggeo up until 2022 then when they acquired I was transitioned to Kargo until June 2024. Then on 2025 I work as full-stack engineer for DailyMentor while also doing small gig in between. Mostly I worked with MERN Stack at this point.
Things I’ve been building
Most of my recent projects involve integrations, making different systems talk to each other reliably. It’s not always glamorous work, but I find it interesting because there’s usually a lot of hidden complexity. Recently I also taking more decision on architecture.
Some things from the last couple of years that I’m working on:
- QuickBooks integration: built a full sync between a SaaS product and QuickBooks Online. Covered OAuth, webhooks, and reconciliation logic.
- Shopify integration: built custom storefront and order sync features, working with Shopify’s REST and GraphQL APIs.
- Facebook Ads & Google Ads: integrated campaign and performance data into a SaaS dashboard, handling API changes and rate limits.
- Stripe: payment flows, webhook handling, subscription management, and dispute processing.
- Bullhorn CRM: synced recruitment data between Bullhorn and internal systems, working with their REST API.
- Database migration: — moved a MongoDB aggregation pipeline to PostgreSQL. Not just a copy-paste migration, I had to rethink the data model. The result was faster and easier to maintain.
- Query optimization: — fixed a slow dashboard on a MongoDB system. Found the bottleneck, fixed it, and documented everything so the client understood what changed.
What I’m experimenting with lately
- Textract OCR on AWS S3 it’s a proof of concept that I made
- Upwork Cover Letter Generator it’s a Gen AI sample to help me create New Cover letter based on previous performance. I’m still developing the Chrome extension to make it easier to use.
- An Indoor Robot, I “accidentally” bought an omniwheel platform so I feel obliged to turn it into some kind of robot.
Going forward
I plan to write more here. Mostly technical stuff like: things I built, decisions I made (also stupid decisions), things that didn’t work as expected. Also Woodworking or my son.
If you’re looking for a developer for your project, feel free to reach out. I’m open to new work, selectively.
