Freelance Software Engineer

Solving business problems the short way,
with cloud and machine learning.

An independent engineer covering the whole path — from requirements to design, implementation, and infrastructure. Available both for standalone, end-to-end contracts and as a member of your development team. Direct contracts with no middleman margin mean fast communication and a flexible way of working. I deliver results you can actually use.

Services

What I Can Do

From contract development to technical support and one-off consultations. Whether as a standalone contractor or a member of your team, I adapt to the scale and phase of the project.

01

Contract & App Development

New builds and feature additions for business systems, web services, and mobile apps. End to end, from organizing requirements to release.

02

Cloud & Infrastructure

Reviewing server costs, migrating legacy systems to the cloud, and building platforms that balance stable operation with scalability. Both AWS and GCP.

03

Data & AI / ML

For "we want to try whether AI works" or "we want to put our data to use," I go along from a small proof of concept to production adoption.

04

Technical Advisory & Spot Consulting

A second opinion before you commission work, a sanity check on a vendor's estimate or design, a sounding board for technology choices — one-off requests are welcome.

Cloud Migration

Cloud migration of a medical data analytics platform

Migrated a data-processing platform that had run on in-house servers to the cloud. Handled everything from design and implementation to platform build single-handedly, ensuring quality with 400+ automated tests. Also provided knowledge sharing and development support alongside the migration.

System Overhaul

Full cloud overhaul of an IoT service

Fully rebuilt an IoT service that collects and visualizes sensor data. Took on everything from requirements to development, implementing real-time chart rendering and automatic email alerts on anomaly detection. Cut server operating costs and achieved a multi-tenant architecture deployable across multiple companies.

AI / ML

Real-time person detection system

Developed an AI system that detects people from camera footage in real time. Dramatically accelerated the recognition processing and completed the production environment build single-handedly.

App Development

AI desktop app for manufacturing

Developed an AI-powered desktop app for use on the manufacturing floor. Improved the AI's decision accuracy by 7.9% and cut development wait time by up to 90%, speeding up the release cycle.

Infrastructure

Flood-prediction platform for a municipality

Handled the prediction-computation platform that supports evacuation decisions during heavy rain. Owned everything from the system architecture design to platform build and environment-setup automation, and was also involved in DR planning and technical negotiations with the client.

Data Platform

Automated ad-data collection & analytics platform

Designed and built an analytics platform connecting ad-delivery data with purchase data. Shortened data processing from 3 days to 1 day, improving the speed of sales proposals. Also automated ad delivery.

Why Me

Why Clients Choose Me

01

The value of a direct contract

With no middleman margin, cost-effectiveness is high and communication is fast. With a single point of contact, misunderstandings are less likely to arise.

02

End to end, from requirements to operation

Because I can complete everything alone — from design and implementation to infrastructure and release automation — I work quickly with low coordination cost on standalone contracts, and contribute as a cross-domain force when joining a team.

03

Cross-domain strength in cloud × ML

Infrastructure knowledge backed by AWS / GCP certifications, plus hands-on machine-learning development experience. I handle cross-domain problems in one stop.

04

An earnest commitment to solving the problem

I don't stop at the requested scope; I proactively take on the unglamorous parts too, such as improving documentation and the development process.

I also write a tech blog

I record what I learn through personal projects and technical research, centered on cloud and machine learning. Please read it as personal study notes rather than professional deliverables.
