Portrait of Stephen Lovino

Stephen Lovino

Full stack developer building with AI

Full stack developer working across React, TypeScript, Node and Postgres, with AI woven into both the products he builds and the way he builds them. I take ideas from first spec to a live, maintainable app — AI woven into both the product and the way I build it.

Frequently asked

What do you actually build?

Full stack web apps: React front ends, APIs and server logic, Postgres data models, plus AI features like chat, agents and RAG.

How does working together start?

A short call to scope the problem, then a written plan with milestones, then weekly shipping until it's live.

How do you use AI in your process?

For scaffolding, refactoring and test generation — reviewed line by line. It speeds delivery up; it doesn't replace engineering judgement.

How long does a project usually take?

A working prototype in one to two weeks. Production apps typically run four to eight weeks depending on scope.
