Engineer · Creative Director · Bay Area
I build the software.And the brand around it.
I'm Elias — an engineer and creative director in the San Francisco Bay Area. I make apps, websites, and brands for people building something real. Usually all three at once.
What I do
Most people hire two teams.You can just hire me.
Apps people actually use
I build full products from scratch — the screens you tap, the logic underneath, and the servers that keep it running. No template, no handoff, no missing pieces.
Astracollab and myresume.guru are both mine, end to end.
Websites that earn their keep
A site should make the phone ring. I design and build for the way customers actually decide: fast to load, obvious to navigate, easy to trust.
Shipped for electricians, realtors, and early-stage founders.
Brands with a point of view
Through The Next Creatives, I handle the part most engineers skip — the look, the voice, the photography, the reason someone remembers you.
Creative direction, brand systems, and the camera work too.

Clutch Coffee Club
A community brand where car culture meets coffee, rooted in my family's coffee-farm story.
