Based in South Korea · Remote worldwide

Freelance AI full-stack developer

I ship LLM features into production, build custom agents and automate the workflows that eat your team's time. No hype, just code that runs.

Services

Five sharp offers, from LLM integration to straight-up full-stack work.

Custom AI applications

Domain chatbots, internal assistants, specialized agents with RAG. I design, build and ship full AI apps wired into your data and systems. Auth, permissions, observability, cost control. Stack: TypeScript, Next.js or Astro, Postgres, pgvector or Qdrant, Claude and GPT.

LLM integration in existing products

Adding AI features to a live SaaS or app: suggestions, generation, classification, extraction, semantic search. Streaming, retries, multi-provider fallback, caching, per-user budgets. I plug in OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral or self-hosted open-source models depending on constraints.

AI automation

Multi-step workflows that replace manual work: document parsing and classification, structured scraping, PDF and email extraction, cross-tool sync. Solid orchestration, queues, retries, readable logs. N8n or custom code depending on volume.

Classic full-stack development

When you just need a solid developer. SaaS, dashboards, APIs, client portals, back-offices. Modern stack: TypeScript, Next.js, Astro, Node, Postgres, Cloudflare. Clean deploys, simple CI, monitoring. No over-engineering.

AI audit and strategic advisory

For SMBs that want to start without getting burned by the hype cycle. I review your processes, pick the use cases that actually pay off, and tell you what is worth doing and what is not. Deliverables: summary brief, prioritized roadmap, cost and ROI estimates.

Cities I work with

Remote from South Korea. I cover EU, US and APAC business hours.

Frequently asked questions

What stacks do you use?

TypeScript, Next.js, Astro, Node, Python, Postgres with pgvector, Cloudflare Workers, Anthropic Claude and OpenAI. I pick the right tool for the problem, never the other way around.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Fully remote from South Korea. I cover EU mornings and US or APAC evenings. On-site visits are possible occasionally, on request.

What are your rates?

Fixed quote after a free 30-minute scoping call. As a ballpark: an LLM integration starts around €5–15k, a full-stack MVP around €15–40k.

How long does a typical project take?

An LLM integration or AI feature ships to production in 2 to 6 weeks. A full-stack MVP runs 4 to 10 weeks. I'd rather ship a useful V1 fast than a perfect system that never arrives.

Can you maintain what we build together?

Yes, on request. I offer monthly maintenance contracts: monitoring, fixes, small improvements, LLM model upgrades. No long-term lock-in.

What kind of companies do you work with?

SMBs, scale-ups and product teams. From seed and Series A up to mid-market. I also take short engagements for larger groups through their tech leadership.
