I'm a freelance writer who explains how businesses work. Business models can be difficult to describe, especially for technology startups in emerging industries. My writing explains how founders develop their business concepts and how their products help their customers. I also write articles that help investors decide whether to spend their hard-earned money on the shares of these businesses.I learn about companies by reading their annual reports, as well as examining third-party data collected by government agencies and independent research firms. I also use this information to conduct additional analysis, creating forecasts that predict what a company will do next.I've written about early-stage startups and blue-chip companies. I've covered U.S. firms as well as companies located abroad.I help companies promote their offerings through content marketing. After researching business topics, I write informative articles that attract traffic from search engine visitors.

I’m an engineer who can ship across the stack—from mobile apps and clean frontends to backend architecture and AI integrations. I’ve spent 3+ years building products from zero to millions of users and leading teams across different markets. Right now, I’m not chasing titles. The new reality in tech is simple: companies need hands-on engineers who can cover multiple roles, fix problems fast, and deliver without layers of overhead. That’s exactly what I do. What I’m best at: * Cleaning messy codebases and leaving them in a production-ready state (vibe code cleanup). * Building full-stack projects with Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js. * Integrating and orchestrating LLM agents (Claude, GPT, others) into real business workflows. * Developing mobile products that actually get used—not just shipped and forgotten. I’m not a theorist and not a manager for the sake of management. I’m a builder who writes code, launches working systems, and delivers results.
