Freelance Software Engineer — Full-stack, Integrations & Applied AI
Backend / APIs / MicroservicesAI & workflow automationWeb / Mobile / SaaSIoT / On-premise / Technical softwareAvailable now • Full remote worldwide
About
I help startups, SMEs and technical teams design, strengthen or modernize software products—from a backend or SaaS feature to a mobile application, an IoT platform, an AI workflow or technical C++/Python software. I am available for fully remote work worldwide.
My public work includes software modernization at the Tunnel Study Center (CETU), AI and systems experiments, and open repositories that make parts of the approach checkable. Confidential work remains protected.
I bring a product and delivery perspective: I care about the business problem, the delivery risk and the result, not only the stack.
What I can ship
Choose a focused intervention or combine them into a complete delivery.
Build or strengthen a backend
Design APIs, microservices and integrations that stay understandable and reliable as the product and team grow.
FastAPI / NestJS / Node.js delivery with Docker and CI
Modernize technical software
Improve calculation, simulation, rendering or migration software with a pragmatic mix of C++, Qt, Python, performance work and UX improvements.
Performance diagnosis + modernization plan + implementation
Ship a web, mobile or SaaS product
Build a customer-facing application or internal tool end to end, from data model and APIs to responsive web or mobile interfaces.
Full-stack delivery with a clear scope and deployable increments
Prototype a data, IoT or R&D product
Turn a technical idea into a demonstrable prototype using computer vision, machine learning, robotics, IoT data flows or simulation.
