Prototype, rescue, or next feature. Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed date.
No retainer traps. No junior team. The engagement ends when the work ships and the handoff is documented.
Three engagement types
Prototype, rescue, or next feature. Same shape each time.
Prototype to product
You have an AI-built or early prototype. It demos well, but demos do not survive real customers.
AI can get you to a convincing prototype quickly. Production is where the real work appears: security, edge cases, payments, mobile, messy data, failed integrations, and everything outside the happy path.
I keep what is solid, rebuild what is not, and finish the work between a good demo and a dependable product: architecture, tests, monitoring, documentation, and handoff.
What you walk away with:
Production-ready software your customers can depend on. Architecture documented, tests in place, handoff complete, and a system that tells you when it breaks.
Production rescue
It looks finished. Then real users, real data, or a real integration hits it — and it falls over.
The happy path works. The edges do not. Duplicate submissions, expired tokens, slow queries against real data, third-party APIs that return what nobody expected. The failures are rarely where the demo looks.
I find the failures that matter, fix them in priority order, and add the tests and monitoring needed to stop them coming back.
What you walk away with:
Software that survives real users and real data. Fewer 3am surprises. Logs, tests, and a system that tells you when something is wrong instead of letting you find out from a customer.
Fast feature delivery
You know what the next important thing is. The roadmap says a quarter. Your users do not want to wait that long.
I work fast because I do the work myself and keep the scope focused on what actually matters. Speed does not come at the expense of quality.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a date you can put on the calendar. No junior team and no layers of status meetings. The feature ships when we agreed it would.
What you walk away with:
A focused feature or product slice, delivered on the agreed date, with the edges finished, the tests in place, and the handoff documented.
Four steps. One clear endpoint.
We talk
30 minutes. Free. You tell me what's going on, I ask questions.
One-page proposal
What gets fixed, how long it takes, what it costs. No ambiguity.
I build it
2-8 weeks. I do the work myself — no juniors, no outsourcing.
You run it
Documented and handed over. You don't need me anymore.
What it costs
Focused Product Sprint
One product problem or focused feature. Two weeks.
- —Scoped, built, tested, documented, and handed over
Production Build
A substantial product build or production rescue.
- —Architecture, implementation, tests, documentation, and handoff
A useful fit matters more than a sale.
This works if you
- You have a prototype, product problem, or important feature
- You can make product decisions quickly
- You want production quality without a long agency process
Probably not a fit if you
- You need a large embedded delivery team
- You want an open-ended retainer
- You are not ready to start in the next 30 days
