    Looking for: fixed-scope contract work, up to 40h&#x2F;week. I&#x27;ve been building web platforms for 20+ years, most recently running frontend architecture at Vi.

    I&#x27;m a good fit when a codebase grew fast (Cursor, Claude Code, whatever) and now nobody wants to touch it. I read through it, tell you what&#x27;s actually wrong in order of how much it hurts, and fix the worst parts. I wrote chemx, a free CLI that grades a repo: npx chemx audit. Run it on yours first if you like and we can talk through the result.

    Earlier on I built lead validation for a financial company that saved them an estimated $1.2M a year. Past result: built automated lead validation that cut invalid lead spend and manual cleanup, saving an estimated $1.2M a year.
