Verified Freelancer — full-stack web, Shopify & AI automation. I build things that ship and stay working. Long-term clients over one-off jobs. I help founders, teams, and businesses build the digital infrastructure they actually need — whether that's a custom web app, a high-converting online store, an AI-powered assistant, or the automated workflows that tie it all together. If you need it built, I take it from idea to production-ready without unnecessary complexity or hand-holding. My work spans full-stack development, e-commerce, AI integration, and automation — so instead of coordinating multiple freelancers, you get one technical partner who sees the full picture and executes across it. I focus on reliability, clear communication, and long-term maintainability — not quick hacks. Clients work with me when they want someone who understands both the business problem and the technical execution. What I Can Build Custom applications & SaaS systems Business applications, internal platforms, and SaaS MVPs built for scale (React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase, REST & GraphQL APIs) E-commerce stores & online shops Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix Stores — product pages, custom themes, payment integrations, and conversion-optimised storefronts built to sell AI development & intelligent features ChatGPT / GPT-4 integration, AI chatbots, generative AI, NLP, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and AI automation — from smart assistants to fully automated decision flows Automation & system integrations API workflows, third-party integrations, payments, CRMs, and process automation CMS & website development WordPress, Wix, blogs, company websites, and landing pages — clean, fast, and easy to manage Mobile apps for iOS & Android Flutter and React Native apps connected to secure backends Game development Unity 2D and 3D projects — from concept to playable build Long-term maintenance & feature upgrades Bug fixes, refactors, performance optimisation, and production support

Nicolas was knowledgeable and contributed helpful ideas to the project, especially his recommendation to separate the Laravel and 3CX work, which proved valuable for the overall project structure. Recognizing his helpful input can make him feel appreciated and motivated to continue contributing effectively. He understands 3CX well and brought meaningful input to the work. I appreciate his effort and contribution, and overall, he was helpful in moving the project forward.

Freelancer confirmed scope and estimated 3–4.5 hours prior to award. After acceptance, rate adjustment, and scheduling, they revised the estimate to 25–40 hours the evening before work was due to begin. As this materially changed the agreed scope and timing, the project was cancelled without any work being delivered.

Professional and reliable QA specialist. Nicolas delivered a clear, well-structured 3CX QA review, respected scope boundaries, and provided actionable findings without making unauthorized changes. Strong communication and solid VoIP knowledge. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
