Real-time technical operations for a live autonomous vehicle fleet. I triage Linux-level system faults as they happen using CLI diagnostics, coordinate across Operations and Engineering during incident response, and turn what I see in REST API logs into bug reports precise enough that engineering ships a patch off the report.

I build and operate production software solo, from schema design through App Store release. LezFindr (lezfindr.com) is my own product, live on iOS and Android. The Flutter client is 451 files across 22 feature modules using BLoC, get_it and go_router. The API is TypeScript on Cloudflare Workers with Hono: 30 route modules, roughly 35,000 lines, covered by vitest. Behind it sits Neon Postgres with PostGIS, 78 tables and 89 migrations I wrote and applied by hand against production. Real-time chat runs on Cloudflare Durable Objects, media lives in R2, and auth is Firebase with tokens verified against cached JWKS at the edge. On-device TensorFlow Lite and Google ML Kit handle identity verification so photos never leave the phone. Subscriptions and trials run through RevenueCat. For clients I do the same work at smaller scope. Neesh.art came to me as a Lovable prototype and I built the production Supabase data model, row level security, and the Edge Functions behind it. I also build marketing sites in Next.js and React, and self-host a FastAPI service that serves a fine-tuned model behind my portfolio chatbot. Most of what I get hired for now is finishing projects that were started with AI tools and stalled the moment they met real users.
