Independent software consultant

Software built
with craft
and made smarter.

I build full-stack software with care and attention to detail. Reliable, communicative, and committed to doing things right the first time — on the Microsoft stack, MERN, Azure, AWS, and beyond.

Smart Vibes

Hi, I'm Jeff.

I'm a software engineer and consultant who cares deeply about the craft — not just shipping features, but building systems worth keeping. I work with mid-market and enterprise teams who've outgrown their current architecture, are integrating AI, or simply need a senior technical voice in the room.

I believe in doing things the right way the first time. That means following well-known patterns, communicating clearly, making honest tradeoffs, and never cutting corners that will cost you later. Thoughtfulness isn't a luxury — it's how good software is made.

Learning, growth and innovate are part of the vibe I bring to every engagement. In an industry that moves as fast as sofwware engineering, staying curious and adaptable is key to long-term success.

I'm also deeply excited about where AI is taking software development. Not hype — real, practical integration that makes teams faster and products smarter. Smart Vibes is where I bring all of that together.

Deep craft

Patterns matter. Code you're proud of is code that lasts.

Honest tradeoffs

I'll tell you what I think, even when it's not what you want to hear.

AI with intention

Not every problem needs AI. The right ones do.

Clear communication

Technical decisions explained so everyone in the room can decide.

What I do

I engage as a senior individual contributor, a fractional technical lead, or a trusted advisor — depending on what your team actually needs.

01

Software engineering

Architecture design, code review, greenfield builds, and rescue missions for systems that outgrew their foundations. I write code worth keeping and help your team do the same.

02

AI integration

Practical AI that ships — not demos. LLMs, agents, automation, and intelligent workflows layered thoughtfully into real production systems. I use these tools daily and know where they add value.

03

Technical leadership

Fractional CTO, engineering team mentoring, architecture review, and the "experienced adult in the room" for critical technical decisions. I help teams move faster by thinking clearly.

Tools I've built

More coming — this is a living section.

Timezone converter

Quick time conversion for distributed teams. Pick two zones, enter a time.

Live

More tools coming

Building AI-powered utilities for developers and distributed teams. Stay tuned.

Soon

I keep up with what's actually useful. AI tools aren't a novelty to me — they're part of how I work.

AI & LLMs

Claude / Anthropic API CoPilot OpenAI / GPT-4

Languages & runtimes

.NET C# JavaScript Node.js TypeScript SQL

Frontend

HTML / CSS Next.js React React Native

Got a hard problem?
Let's figure it out.

Whether you need a senior engineer to dig in, someone to think through an architecture decision, or help making sense of where AI fits in your product — I'm happy to have a conversation.

No sales pitch. Just an honest talk about what you're building and whether I can help.

Got it — thanks for reaching out. I'll get back to you within a day or two.
