About
A developer who ships.
I build full-stack SaaS products from zero to production. My workflow is optimized for speed without cutting corners - AI-assisted development, strong typing, automated testing, and infrastructure that scales. I treat every project like a product, not a deliverable.
Before freelancing, I trained at A2SV (Africa to Silicon Valley), where I solved 640+ LeetCode problems and built algorithmic depth that most web developers never develop. That foundation shows up in how I design data models, optimize queries, and architect systems that handle real-world complexity.
Right now I'm building LiveCrew - AI startup teams that help solo founders go from idea to execution through structured meetings and real deliverables.
I work async-first with direct communication. No status theater. Weekly deliverables you can see and test. If something is blocked, I say so immediately. If I disagree with an approach, I explain why and offer alternatives.

The Most Expensive Skill I Have Is Knowing When to Quit
The longer you work on something, the more real it feels, and the more the sunk effort distorts the math. You don't evaluate the project anymore. You evaluate your relationship to the project. You defend it the way you'd defend a decision you've already made, because abandoning it now feels like admitting the past version of you was wrong. He was. That's fine. The past version of you was working with less information than you have today. Treating his conclusions as binding is the actual mistake, not the quitting.
Stop Talking to One AI. Start Running a Team of Them
Most AI tools give you a faster typist. One chatbot, one voice, one flattened answer. That stops working the moment your bottleneck shifts from getting answers to making better decisions. LiveCrew replaces the single-chatbot model with a crew of specialized agents you direct like a CEO. Four roles, real disagreement, structured meetings. Not a smarter assistant. A different shape of work.
I Solved 650 LeetCode Problems and It Didn't Make Me a Better Developer
Competitive programming taught me how to think. Production engineering taught me that thinking isn't enough. After 650 LeetCode problems and 150+ on Codeforces, I landed my first real client, and realized almost nothing I'd practiced for hundreds of hours mattered in production.
Currently Building
LiveCrew - AI Startup Teams for Solo Founders
You describe your idea. AI agents - PM, marketer, more coming - run structured meetings, debate strategy, and produce real deliverables. PRDs, marketing plans, competitive analysis.

I'm currently available for freelance projects. If you're building something and need a senior full-stack developer, I'd like to hear about it.
