Software for the work your team is still doing by hand.
I build internal tools, automations, dashboards, and file-processing systems for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, email chains, and copy-paste work.

// Before: 14 steps across 4 tools

export async function onVendorPacket(file) {
const doc = await extract(file);
const summary = await ai.summarize(doc);
const flags = validate(doc, rules);
await db.intake.insert({
vendor: doc.fields.vendor,
needs_w9: flags.includes("missing_w9"),
status: flags.length ? "review" : "ready",
summary,
});
return notify.ops("New vendor packet ready");
}The team isn't disorganized. The tools just don't match the work.
Most operations-heavy businesses run important work through spreadsheets, email threads, PDFs, shared drives, manual review, and a stack of disconnected SaaS tools. Each one solves a slice of the problem. The gaps in between are where the hours disappear.
Files spread across too many places
Drive, email, Dropbox, someone's desktop. Nobody is sure where the latest version lives.
The same review, every week
A person opens the file, checks the same fields, copies the result somewhere else. Repeat.
Copy-paste between systems
A row in one SaaS tool has to become a row in another. Nobody automated it, so a human does.
Spreadsheets running operations
A 14-tab workbook is somehow the source of truth, and only one person fully understands it.
Tools that almost work
The SaaS covers 80%. The remaining 20% is filled in with manual steps that quietly cost hours.
Practical software, described in business terms.
Every project is scoped around the outcome you actually want — not the tech stack underneath. The stack is my problem.
Internal tools & dashboards
Custom dashboards and review queues so your team can track work, assign tasks, and see what actually needs attention today.
Document & file workflows
Upload, extract, validate, route. Turn the folder full of PDFs and spreadsheets into a structured pipeline your team can trust.
AI-assisted workflows
Use models where they actually help: summarising, classifying, drafting, flagging. With a human in the loop and guardrails, not magic.
API integrations
Get your CRM, billing, support, and ops tools to actually talk to each other. No more nightly CSV exports.
Backend & job processing
Reliable APIs, queues, and scheduled jobs that quietly run the parts of the business that nobody should be doing by hand.
MVPs & prototypes
A first usable version of a product idea or internal tool, shipped fast enough to get real feedback instead of more meetings.
Interactive demo
Document Intake + Review Queue
Upload documents, extract the important details, flag what needs review, and send clean results to your team.

What this demo is showing
This is not meant to be a real document processor. It is a frontend demo of the kind of workflow I can build for a client: secure intake, background processing, structured extraction, human review, and handoff into the tools the team already uses.
File intake
Give teams a clear place to collect messy documents without losing context.
Structured extraction
Turn scattered document details into fields people can compare and act on.
Human review queue
Route exceptions to the right person before work moves downstream.
Source Softwares.
Software engineer · Solo contractor · Source Softwares
I'm a software engineer who builds practical systems across backend, frontend, cloud, data, and AI workflows. I'm most useful on projects where the hard part is understanding the workflow and turning it into software that people can actually use.
Working with a solo engineer means one person scopes the work, builds it, and ships it — no account managers in between, and no two-week handoff for a two-hour change.
Areas I work across
If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
Document-heavy operations
Leases, invoices, vendor packets, applications — anything that arrives as a PDF and gets reviewed by a human.
Spreadsheet-driven workflows
An Excel or Google Sheet has quietly become an operational database. It works, until it doesn't.
Manual handoffs between tools
Data leaves one SaaS as a CSV and gets pasted into another. A small integration would save hours a week.
Customer or vendor intake
Onboarding new clients, vendors, or partners involves the same checklist of fields, files, and approvals every time.
Internal review & approval queues
Multiple people approve things in email threads. Nobody knows what's pending without asking around.
Hiring me is meant to feel low-risk.
Small first commitments, working software early, and a clear way to decide whether to keep going. No retainers, no surprise scope.
- 01
Map the workflow
A short, focused conversation about how the work actually happens today — who touches what, where it breaks, and what the tools are getting wrong.
- 02
Build a small version
A prototype or first usable version, shipped quickly. Just enough product to see whether the idea holds up against real work.
- 03
Turn it into a real tool
Database, APIs, permissions, background jobs, integrations, deployment, reliability — added where they earn their keep, not by default.
- 04
Improve from real usage
Iterate based on what your team actually uses. Cut what they don't. Add what's missing once it's obvious.

Have a process your team keeps doing manually?
Send me what the workflow looks like today. I'll help figure out whether it should be a small tool, an automation, or something simpler — and what it would actually take to build.
