Production AI Surfaces

Developer-facing AI tooling shipped for clients in the LLM infrastructure space — at production scale, not demo scale.

SYS_02

0→1 Product Engineering

Greenfield Next.js apps. Stack picked from scratch — Supabase, PostgreSQL, Zustand, TanStack Query. Owned end-to-end when solo, API contracts when in a team. Vercel ship.

SYS_03

Design Systems & Architecture

Reusable TypeScript/React component libraries documented in Storybook. Stack selection, state-management patterns, API contracts, data-layer migrations. The boring foundations multiple product surfaces sit on.

Where I Can Help

OFFER_01AI Surfaces

You're shipping an LLM-powered product.

Developer-facing AI tooling and product surfaces. Built for production scale — the kind that survives real users, not just the demo.

AI ToolingTypeScriptReactNext.js
OFFER_02Greenfield 0→1

You need a 0→1 product shipped end-to-end.

Greenfield Next.js. Stack picked from your product's actual constraints — Supabase, PostgreSQL, Zustand, TanStack Query, or whatever fits. Frontend, backend, and deploy. Owned solo or alongside your team.

Next.jsSupabaseFull-stackVercel
OFFER_03Content Stack

Your CMS is slowing marketing down.

Headless content migration to Sanity (or similar). AI-assisted authoring flow that cuts time-to-publish from days to minutes for non-technical authors. Done in-flight without a content freeze.

SanityMigrationAI-assisted
OFFER_04Design Systems

Your component library isn't surviving the scale.

Reusable TypeScript/React component libraries documented in Storybook. Consumed across multiple product surfaces without forking. Theming, accessibility, and a contract that holds.

OFFER_05Senior Drop-In

You're mid-flight and need a senior pair of hands.

End-to-end feature delivery on Next.js applications. API contracts with backend engineers when in a team, full ownership when solo. REST and WebSocket integrations. Vercel ship and post-launch iteration.

The Product
Lens.

How I think about building production AI surfaces. Same lens whether the product is greenfield or already in flight.

01. Stack from constraints.

Greenfield projects deserve a stack picked from the product's actual shape — data, latency, who'll maintain it. Never a house template.

02. Own the seams.

Solo: build the API routes too. In a team: design contracts that survive both sides shipping fast. Either way, the seam is yours.

03. Beyond the demo.

Code that survives real users — not just the live demo. Reliability, performance, and the boring parts are what ship the product.

Production code is a longer game than a demo.

What ships in week one is what runs in year three. Build for the year-three version.
