Full-Stack Product Development

Building complete web products across interface, application logic, APIs, databases and deployment.

Problems I solve
Coordinating frontend and backend development, Building admin and public interfaces, Designing data-driven UI, Connecting APIs and databases, Deploying multiple services together
Strengths
Shipped and operating a multi-service product (CMS + reasoning layer + two databases) on a single VPS

Full description

I work across the full product stack — from CMS and frontend architecture to backend APIs, data storage, AI integration and VPS deployment. I'm especially interested in products where the user experience depends on several systems working together.

Capability statement

This site is the example: a Next.js CMS, a separate FastAPI reasoning service, a MySQL system of record, and an optional Postgres/pgvector embeddings store, deployed together on one VPS.

Explore with Alex OS

Alex ships multi-service web products end-to-end — interface, APIs, databases, and deployment — without splitting the work across a team.

Full-Stack Product Development

Alex works across the entire product stack: frontend architecture, backend APIs, data storage, AI integration, and VPS deployment. The focus is on products where the user experience depends on several systems working together correctly — not just one layer in isolation.

How the stack fits together on this site

The tradeoff: one engineer across the full stack

Running the full stack solo means slower feature velocity on any single layer compared to a specialist. The tradeoff is coordination cost: no handoff between frontend and backend, no integration surprises between the API and the database schema, and deployment decisions made by the same person who wrote the service. For early-stage products, that tradeoff usually favors the generalist.

Verified: shipped and operating

The multi-service architecture described above — CMS, reasoning layer, two databases — is live on one VPS and serving this site. Alex CMS uses a fully dynamic content-type registry (no hardcoded post models). Alex OS sits between the CMS and the public site, providing journey-aware, grounded responses. Both services can be run locally for development (CMS on port 3005, Alex OS on port 8010). Confidence rating on this expertise: practical — meaning built and running, not theoretical.
