Projects

Booking and scheduling

A sample of what I build: websites, booking and ordering systems, AI tools, and fixes for existing sites. It's only a small part of my work. In my full-time roles I've built much more at scale, including a search engine, high-performance APIs, fast and complex frontend pages, databases and microservices. Pick a category to narrow it down.
