Real AI-powered speed
A landing page with Stripe in 2 days. An MVP in 1–4 weeks. The workflow is documented: 6 products built with AI-first tooling, 4 live in production.

Design, code and communications. One person, the whole product.
20+ years across design, front-end and digital communications, now paired with the modern AI stack. I take a product from brief to production on my own — an AI-first workflow that has cut my delivery times by 60–70%.

What I bring
End-to-end autonomy
From brief to production deploy I can own the whole chain — design, front-end, back-end, infrastructure. Inside a team, that is one less handoff between disciplines.
Design + tech + communications
Since 2011 I have led the technical side of a communications agency: campaign pages, live content and the platform behind them, alongside a team running donations, monitoring and calls. Those campaigns have processed R$100M+.
Built to survive the day
The interesting part is never the happy path. Checkouts that cannot drop a transaction, pages that hold when the traffic arrives all at once, launches operated live rather than deployed and hoped for.
Most agencies still quote 3 months for what I ship in 2 weeks.
IN PRODUCTION
Live products
Production SaaS shipped end-to-end — real users, real Stripe payments, real revenue.
PRE-LAUNCH
Ready to ship
Built and waiting for the right campaign — first pilot launching in 2026.
INTERNAL TOOLS
Built overnight when the need emerges
The admin and client portal you're using? I built them for myself in 2 days. Same speed I deliver to clients.
BACKOFFICE · LIVE
mcaliman backoffice
admin.mcaliman.comBuilt end-to-end · 2 days · 52 commits
Client management system with authenticated admin area, CRUD for projects and milestones, Stripe invoicing, and a public client portal with magic link auth. The same system you're seeing proof of in the case study above.

CAMPAIGN ENGINEERING
Donation campaigns
Charidy · US fundraising platform · GrupoBrasil is its Brazilian representative40+ campaigns · R$100M+ processed
I build the campaign pages and integrate the donation flow; alongside me a team handles donation management, monitoring and the call desk. What transfers to any product team is the engineering underneath: a checkout that cannot drop a transaction, pages that hold when the traffic arrives all at once, and a launch day operated live rather than deployed and hoped for.
The money is raised by the campaigns and the organisations behind them; Charidy is the platform. Mine is the layer it passes through.

CATALOGUE & QUOTING
EPTCA Medical Devices

The site and the catalogue behind it: the product range across four medical specialties, searchable and filterable, each item able to open a quote. The quote page is a builder rather than a contact form — items go into a list and leave as a single request with the buyer’s details attached. Next.js, bilingual, and mine end to end: the build, the upkeep and the Google Business Profile.

CAMPAIGN COMMUNICATIONS
The pieces that carry a campaign
A platform only works if people arrive at it. The same hands that build the page produce the announcements, the save-the-dates and the institutional pieces that bring the traffic — for the agency's clients and for the products.
Built with the tools that move fast
Three toolsets, all in daily use: one builds the product, one takes it to an audience, and one keeps a project moving when other people are involved.

Key decisions
Local SVGs over icon library
For Bolt, v0, and shadcn/ui logos, swapped the simple-icons package for hand-optimized local SVGs with proper light/dark variants. Small bundle cost for pixel-perfect rendering and brand-accurate colors.
One Next.js app, three domains
Instead of separate projects for landing, admin, and portal, used Next.js middleware to route mcaliman.com, admin.mcaliman.com, and /projeto/[token] from a single codebase. Shared components, shared build, one deploy.
Custom auth over Supabase Auth
Built magic link authentication with JOSE and a custom magic_links table instead of Supabase Auth. Total control over token lifecycle, session duration, subdomain cookies, and email delivery via Zoho SMTP.
