I turn engineering problems into software products.
I'm a software engineer and technical leader with 12+ years of experience building web applications, backend systems, developer tools, and SaaS products.
Today, I'm focused on building products through HireDev Technologies — including APILens, an API observability platform, and open-source tools that make developers more productive.
I care about more than shipping code. I care about solving the right problem, making systems easier to understand, and building software that can evolve.
🔎 APILensUnderstand what your APIs are doing. An API observability product for developers who need better visibility into API behavior, performance, and errors. |
API visibility with minimal setup. Zero-dependency observability middleware for Express and Fastify, built to help developers inspect requests and investigate slow operations. |
|
Connect AI assistants to CMS platforms. An open-source collection of MCP servers covering 12 CMS platforms and 757 tools, helping AI clients work with content and commerce systems. |
From architecture to production. I enjoy solving backend complexity, designing maintainable systems, improving developer workflows, and turning ideas into usable software. |
- Product engineering: Turn an idea or business problem into a working, maintainable product.
- Backend architecture: Design APIs, data models, integrations, and background processing for real-world workloads.
- Developer tooling: Reduce friction in debugging, observability, and repetitive engineering workflows.
- AI integrations: Connect AI assistants to tools and existing systems through MCP and structured integrations.
- Technical leadership: Make architecture decisions, guide engineers, and help teams deliver with clarity.
Backend & APIs
Node.js · TypeScript · PHP · Laravel · Express · Fastify · REST · GraphQL
Frontend
React · Next.js · JavaScript · Tailwind CSS
Data & infrastructure
PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · Redis · Docker · AWS
AI & integrations
Model Context Protocol (MCP) · AI tool integrations · CMS APIs · Automation
I choose technologies based on the problem, the constraints, and the people who will maintain the solution.
I believe good engineering should make complex systems easier to understand.
That means clear architecture, useful observability, sensible abstractions, reliable integrations, and documentation that helps the next person succeed.
I enjoy building my own products because it forces me to think beyond implementation: the problem, the user experience, reliability, and whether the solution is genuinely useful.
