Full-stack engineer ·
Business-critical platforms,
built end to end.
I design, build and operate production web platforms — architecture, backend, frontend, cloud infrastructure, load testing and compliance. Mostly for businesses where failure is expensive.
Have an idea you want built?
Through RiverDevStudio I turn it into a real product: design, development and turn-key delivery with a network of trusted professionals.

When a project needs more hands, I work as RiverDevStudio: a network of trusted professionals designing and building platforms from zero for demanding clients — one accountable point of contact, engineering-grade quality, end-to-end delivery.
- From spec to production Analysis, architecture, full stack, infrastructure, QA — nothing outsourced blindly.
- A team sized to the project The right professionals for each build, coordinated under one name.
- One point of contact You talk to the engineer who answers for the result.
01 Selected work
Client names withheld under confidentiality agreements. Every number is measured, not estimated — full write-ups behind each card.
- POC → platform rewrite Multi-tenant risk management with an in-house AI engine — 20 ADRs, 44 releases, AWS on Terraform.
- Enterprise frontend modernization Angular rewrite for a large industrial group, with a reusable re-brandable UI kit.
- AI document webapp Upload, search and auto-classify company documents — built solo, delivered in half the estimate.
- Offline AI legal assistant Local LLM + Whisper in an Electron desktop app. Zero cloud, by design.
- Event microsite Bilingual RSVP site with a live admin dashboard — small, shipped, used by real guests.
02 How I work
Reliability is demonstrated
Signed test plans, published numbers, induced failures, single-variable experiments.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform on AWS and GCP; one-command releases with smoke tests and tags.
AI where it earns its place
Multi-provider agents with recovery semantics; local inference when privacy demands.
Compliance as a deliverable
GDPR flows, audit trails, encrypted secrets, fail-closed pipelines.
Documentation as an artifact
ADRs, runbooks and client-facing reports produced alongside the code.
Reuse that compounds
Internal scaffolds under several production backends — no project starts from zero.
03 Services
Platform development
NestJS / Laravel backends, Angular / Vue / React frontends, PostgreSQL / Redis, mobile with Ionic.
Cloud & DevOps
AWS and GCP architecture, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, cost-conscious environments.
AI engineering
Production LLM integration: provider-agnostic routing, agents, streaming UX, local inference.
Load testing & reliability
k6 programs with formal plans, capacity mapping, failover drills, bottleneck isolation.
Legacy modernization
Documented rewrites with parity tracking and ADRs — the old system runs until the new one proves itself.
