Work with me

I have a full-time job, so I only take one or two small projects at a time. These are the kinds of things I'm useful for.

Email me with your team size, stack, and what's going wrong. I usually reply within a few days.

What I can help with

Set up AI coding for your team

2–4 weeks, remote

Good for

Teams already using Claude Code or Cursor who want it to stop making a mess.

What you get

I set up repo instructions, hooks and guardrails in your codebase, and write down the workflow so your team can keep it running after I'm gone.

Backend & AWS cost review

1–2 weeks, written report and a call

Good for

Startups whose AWS bill or API latency is growing faster than their traffic.

What you get

I go through your data model, slow endpoints and bill, then write up the few changes I'd make first and why.

Talks & workshops

45-min talk or half-day workshop, English or Mandarin

Good for

Engineering teams, meetups and conferences.

What you get

How I use AI coding agents on a production backend, mistakes included. Workshops are hands-on.

Probably a good fit if

  • Your team started using Claude Code or Cursor and the codebase is getting messy
  • Your AWS bill grew faster than your user count
  • You want a talk or workshop on AI coding agents, in English or Mandarin
