Case studies
The best way to judge a developer is by what they've shipped. Here's a look at the kind of work companies hire me for, and what happened after. If your project looks anything like these, here's how we can work together.

CargoMatrix: lead developer on a freight & warehousing platform
CargoMatrix runs freight and warehousing operations end to end: warehouse execution, cargo screening, transport visibility, customs brokerage, and partner collaboration, nine connected modules on one real-time platform. It's the kind of system where downtime and slow screens cost real money.
I've worked with them on and off since 2019, as a contractor and consultant, and today I lead their development: I architect and build the core of the platform, and I manage and mentor the junior developers building alongside me. That mix, shipping the hard parts myself while leveling up a team, is exactly what I bring to advisory engagements.
The results show up in the numbers CargoMatrix leads with: 35% faster execution cycles, 99.9% live-validated inventory accuracy, and 50% faster operator onboarding.
One more detail worth telling: this engagement started because their CEO was a subscriber of my newsletter. The thinking you can read on this site is the same thinking that runs their platform.

Loonie Logs: AI-powered expense tracking, shipped solo
My own apps are the clearest proof of what one senior developer can ship end to end. Loonie Logs is expense tracking for self-employed Canadians: snap a photo of a receipt and AI extracts and categorizes it into the CRA's T2125 line items, tracks HST/GST and mileage through the year, and produces a tax-ready package instead of a shoebox of receipts.
I built the entire product myself: mobile app, backend, AI receipt pipeline, and payments for the Pro tier. Then I shipped it, review quirks and all, to the App Store, with Android in beta. It's live at loonielogs.ca, alongside the other apps I've shipped.
When I scope your build, this is the experience behind the estimate: I know what each stage actually takes because I walk the whole path myself, repeatedly.
