AI-Augmented Development

Speed matters more than ever. I combine AI-powered development tools with senior engineering judgment to build production-ready features in a fraction of the traditional time, without sacrificing quality or accumulating technical debt.

How It Works

AI handles boilerplate, common patterns, and repetitive code. I handle architecture decisions, edge cases, performance optimization, security considerations, and integration strategy. This division of labor results in dramatically faster delivery while maintaining the code quality you'd expect from a senior engineer.

The Process

  • Architecture Design: I design the system architecture, data models, and API contracts

  • Rapid Scaffolding: AI generates initial components, routes, database schemas, and test templates

  • Expert Refinement: I review, refactor, and enhance AI output with patterns learned from 15 years of production systems

  • Edge Case Handling: I add error handling, loading states, validation, and security measures

  • Integration & Testing: I ensure everything works together seamlessly and passes comprehensive testing

  • Documentation: AI helps document, I ensure accuracy and completeness

Real Results

  • Feature development: 3-5x faster than traditional development

  • Code review time: Reduced by 50% (AI helps catch basic issues)

  • Iteration speed: Same-day updates instead of multi-day sprints

  • Code quality: Maintained or improved (due to consistent patterns)

What Makes This Different

Most developers using AI create fast but brittle code. I provide the architectural thinking that makes AI-accelerated development sustainable long-term. You get speed AND quality.

Ideal For

  • Companies needing rapid MVP development (weeks instead of months)

  • Teams with large feature backlogs wanting to accelerate velocity

  • Startups racing to market with limited engineering resources

  • Projects with tight deadlines requiring compressed timelines

  • Organizations wanting to adopt AI-augmented workflows themselves

Knowledge Transfer

I can train your team on effective AI-augmented development practices, including prompt engineering for code, when to trust AI vs. when to code manually, and how to review AI-generated code effectively.

Technologies

AI Tools: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Cursor AI, GPT-4 for code generation
Stack: React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL
Testing: Automated testing strategies that work well with AI-generated code

Velocity Paradigm

Traditional engineering methods usually take several weeks or even months to reach MVP. Through my AI-augmented workflows and 15+ years of experience with high-end no-code building tools, I leverage acceleration methods that condense these usual timelines significantly without sacrificing architectural integrity or security.
