If any of this sounds familiar…

  • You only find out something is broken when a customer complains
  • Important checks are manual, inconsistent, or undocumented
  • Dashboards exist, but no one fully trusts them
  • Off-the-shelf tools almost work—but not quite
  • You want automation without a 6-month enterprise project

What I build

Internal dashboards & admin tools

Purpose-built interfaces for your specific workflows and data needs.

Monitoring & alerting systems

Tailored systems that monitor what matters to your business operations.

Secure data pipelines and caching

Reliable data flows that keep your systems fast and consistent.

Role-based access and audit trails

Security and compliance features built for your specific requirements.

Notification systems

Email, in-app, Slack, SMS, and webhook integrations that work together.

Automation & workflow orchestration

Systems that reduce human intervention and enforce consistent processes.

How I work

  1. Understand the business problem first
  2. Design around real workflows—not generic metrics
  3. Ship something useful quickly
  4. Iterate based on real usage

I focus on systems that are understandable, maintainable, and built to evolve—not fragile one-offs.

Example project

Internal Monitoring & Alerting Platform

A custom system that monitors production databases, evaluates configurable alarm rules, tracks alarm lifecycles, and delivers targeted notifications—without exposing production credentials.

Built for a production environment supporting live business operations.

Key capabilities

  • Template-based alarm definitions
  • State-aware alerting (acknowledged, escalated, silenced, resolved)
  • Multiple notification channels
  • Secure backend-only access to production systems

Result

  • Reduced manual checks
  • Fewer false alerts
  • Faster response to real issues
  • Built in weeks, not months

Let's talk

If you're dealing with operational friction or manual processes that should be automated, I can help you clarify the problem and outline a practical solution.
