About this gig

A senior set of eyes that has actually shipped at scale. I review code and architecture for teams that need an honest, prioritized read: what is broken, what is risky, and what to fix first.


I am a Staff/Principal engineer with 12+ years shipping production software. I led platform engineering for over $5B/year in AI lending decisions, and I review code daily across my own products on a live stack (Fly, Vercel, Neon). I have built and audited systems in Python, TypeScript, Node, React, and more.


What you get:

- A clear, prioritized report: bugs, security issues, performance bottlenecks, and code-quality problems

- Architecture review: data flow, scaling risks, failure modes, and what to change before they bite

- Concrete fixes ranked by impact, not a wall of nitpicks

- Optional scaling roadmap and a short call to walk through it


Good for founders and teams who want a second opinion before shipping, scaling, or hiring. I focus on what actually matters for your stage.


No unlimited revisions, which keeps scope clean. Message me before ordering so I can scope it to your codebase.

Hi, I'm Stephen, a full-stack engineer with 12+ years shipping production software. I build and fix payments, scrapers, API integrations, deploy pipelines and AI features, all running in production. Most recently, I led an 8-person team at handling over $5B per year in lending decisions, and I founded an AI earnings platform covering 6,200+ stocks. I work in Stripe, web scraping (Playwright, anti-bot), API and webhook integrations, AI (OpenAI and Claude), and full-stack TypeScript, Python, React, NextJS, Node and FastAPI. I name the exact fix, give a turnaround, and prove it works.
