About

Hi, I'm Bobby

I build web applications, APIs, and the infrastructure underneath them. I got into engineering out of necessity: I needed a tool built at my old job, the existing dev team said it couldn't be done, so I learned to code from scratch and shipped it myself in two weeks.

Today, I help founders and small teams build their products from zero to production. I work across the full stack—from frontend code to DigitalOcean, Supabase, and CI/CD pipelines—so you get one engineer who owns the architecture, execution, and handoff without the bloat.

What I do

How I can help

01Web applications

Full-stack products built with modern, boring-in-a-good-way tools. Fast, accessible, and maintainable.

02APIs & integrations

Clean backends, third-party integrations, and data pipelines that connect the systems you already have.

03Rescue & modernization

Taking over stalled or legacy codebases, stabilizing them, and moving them forward without a rewrite.

04Technical guidance

Architecture reviews and a second opinion before you commit to an expensive decision.

Tools I use

Languages
TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, SQL
Frontend
React, Next.js
Backend & data
Node.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL
Workflow
Git, Command line, Digital Ocean

PreviouslyRuby on Rails, Java, AWS, MongoDB

Project Overload

Influx of projects.. but what a good time. It's nice to get away from focusing so heavily on trading specific apps and getting to build a website for my wife's practice so she can attract more clients. I wish I was a better designer.. but it functions beautifully and that's what really matters to me.

All the Motivation

Hyper motivated to work on this as I have gotten a potential new client. Working on a MVP for a project that is completely different than what I’ve been doing and really enjoying it.

Updating the Passion Project.

Updated Powers Edge this morning .. loving the chart wall and added in a scalping filter to rotate charts in that are setting up for the fashionably late strategy. Helped make some money this morning.
