Custom software on AWS for complex operations.

I design, build, and operate client-owned commerce platforms, AI agents, legacy-system replacements, and regulated data systems - with fractional technical leadership when the architecture decision matters.

Where I Fit

When the platform is now the business

I work with owners and technical leaders when SaaS limits, legacy workflows, or cloud decisions start creating revenue and operational risk.

Replace Shopify Plus when it becomes the bottleneck

Custom commerce for luxury & high-ticket retailers: ACH and wire checkout, inventory and order workflows, CRM handoff, and control over the data Shopify abstracts away.

Commerce platform work

Put client-owned AI agents into production

Production agents that investigate incidents, prepare code and content changes, and connect to real business systems inside your AWS environment - with human approval for high-impact actions.

AI agent work

Get senior architecture judgment without the full-time hire

Fractional CTO support for cloud architecture, vendor decisions, delivery sequencing, security posture, and high-risk implementation work.

From the client

“Mr. Peter, as our technology partner, built our entire commerce and operations platform from the ground up on AWS. It runs our website, our orders, our invoicing, our payments, everything. Migrating to the new system was seamless, with no interruption or data loss. Peter is honest, a strong communicator, and when something needs attention, he takes care of it fast. I trust him with the most important systems in my company. Highly recommended.”
Owner, Fine's Gallery

Open source

Open-source software from production systems

The public releases now cover Payload CMS social publishing, GA4 ecommerce reporting, and Google Merchant Center synchronization. The signal is broader: production work becomes reusable software when the abstraction is worth maintaining outside a single client codebase.

See all open-source work

Based in Naples. Built for owner-led businesses with real operational complexity.

I work from downtown Naples with local and remote clients who have outgrown generic SaaS, inherited legacy operational systems, or need senior AWS judgment before committing budget. The work is intentionally narrow: high-stakes platform decisions, custom commerce, regulated-data architecture, migrations, and technical leadership.

That means one person accountable for architecture, implementation, deployment, and cutover. No agency handoff, no junior delivery layer, and no generic website projects. If the platform touches revenue, staff workflow, auditability, or production risk, that is where I fit.

Credentials

Credentials that map to high-stakes platform work

Ways to work together

Platform work and AI agent work have different starting points. The separate tracks below make that distinction explicit before a sales conversation begins.

Platform systems

Architecture and delivery for commerce, operations, data, and regulated platforms.

  • Platform Architecture Sprint

    Starting at $15K

    3 weeks

    A fixed-scope review for build-vs-buy, migration, and modernization decisions: current-state architecture, risk surface, cost model, and execution roadmap without committing to a full build.

    Scope a Platform Architecture Sprint

  • Platform Build

    Starting at $80K

    3-6 months

    Senior-led implementation for custom AWS-backed commerce, operations, registry, or data platforms, including deployment, integrations, observability, and cutover.

    Discuss a Platform Build

AI agent systems

A lower entry point for one bounded workflow, with a distinct sprint and build scope.

  • Agent Architecture Sprint

    Starting at $10K

    3 weeks

    A fixed-scope design for one high-value workflow: system boundaries, tool contracts, approval gates, access model, failure modes, cost model, and production roadmap.

    Scope an Agent Architecture Sprint

  • Agent Production Build

    Starting at $25K

    6-8 weeks

    One production workflow delivered inside the client's AWS environment with business-specific tools, required integrations, scoped access, human approval, and audit evidence.

    Discuss an Agent Production Build

Leadership and custom

Ongoing technical direction or a carefully scoped engagement outside the standard lanes.

  • Fractional CTO

    Starting at $10K / month

    3-month minimum

    Embedded technical leadership for businesses that need architecture judgment, vendor decisions, delivery governance, and hands-on execution without a full-time executive hire.

    Discuss Fractional CTO fit

  • Custom Engagement

    Scoped after discovery

    Scoped after discovery

    For high-stakes work that does not fit a sprint, build, or retainer: regulated data systems, migration rescue, due diligence, or deeply specific platform work.
