the forge is open · backend × AI · 20h / week
Backend incantations,made to last.
I'm Oana. 13 years writing software — 7 of them keeping a HIPAA-compliant healthcare platform alight for clients ranging from solo practices to WebMD, the rest shipping mobile games, multiplayer netcode, and a members portal for a Danish cat rescue. These days I work AI-augmented — agentic coding with Claude Code, Copilot and Codex is my daily craft, and I build AI into the products I touch. I charge by the hour, reply quickly, and genuinely enjoy burning the tricky bugs.

FOL. IV · THE FAMILIAR
Backend, with an AI familiar.
Agentic coding is my daily craft — and I build AI into the products I work on, with production discipline.
Agentic by default
I orchestrate Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Codex in multi-agent workflows — not autocomplete. The AI does the typing; I own the architecture, the review, and every line that ships.
AI, built into your product
LLM features, retrieval and chat over your own data, automation pipelines — wired into real backends with guardrails against hallucination, the way I built a vetted Q&A system over a healthcare platform.
AI workflows, debugged & tuned
Flaky agents, runaway token costs, prompts and skills that quietly confuse the model — I dig into why your agentic setup misbehaves and make it reliable.
Engineers keep asking
I've become the one teams pull in to show their other departments how to actually use AI well. I love that part — helping people get more out of these tools is my favourite kind of nerding out.
FOL. V
How this usually goes.
No agency sales pitch. Just a pattern that's worked, over and over.
I
Free hour
One call. You talk, I listen. I'm honest about what's feasible and what isn't.
II
Written proposal
Within 48 hours. Scope, approach, rate, timeline. No lock-in.
III
We start small
One thin slice, shipped. If it clicks, we keep going. If not, we part kindly.
IV
We stay in sync
Slack, email, or calls — whatever works for you. Weekly updates, quick replies, no surprises.
