Three ways to build with me

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. I will tell you which option fits your stage - and if none of them do, I will tell you that too.

MVP Build

From validated idea to first paying users

I take founders from a validated idea to a working product - in 3 to 6 weeks. Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. Real users on launch day. No scope creep. No disappearing. No hand-holding required.

Who it is for:

  • Non-technical founders with a validated idea
  • Founders who have been burned by developers and need a trusted partner
  • Startups that need to launch before their runway runs out

What you get:

  • Product scoping and validation check
  • Full-stack AI or SaaS development
  • Database, API, and auth architecture
  • Deployment and launch support
  • First-user iteration sprint

Expected Outcome

A working product in your users' hands. Not a prototype. A product.

AI Engineering

AI that works in production, not just demos

I build AI systems that handle real users, real edge cases, and real failure modes. RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, AI-native architectures. The gap between a demo and a production system is where most AI projects die. I close that gap.

Who it is for:

  • Founders building AI-native products
  • Startups adding a real AI layer to an existing product
  • Companies with an AI demo that needs to become a product

What you get:

  • AI product architecture and framework selection
  • OpenAI, Claude, and custom LLM pipeline integration
  • RAG system design and implementation
  • Prompt engineering for production
  • Observability, logging, and cost controls

Expected Outcome

An AI feature or product that works reliably with real users - not just in your test environment.

Technical Advisory

Strategic clarity for non-technical founders

You do not need to become technical. You need to make better technical decisions. I help non-technical founders scope ideas, evaluate developers, choose stacks, and avoid the expensive mistakes I made so they do not have to.

Who it is for:

  • Non-technical founders before their first technical hire
  • Founders evaluating a developer or an agency
  • Startups that launched but are stuck between product and growth

What you get:

  • MVP scoping and validation check before you spend a dollar on development
  • Developer evaluation and hiring checklist
  • Tech stack recommendation for your specific situation
  • Architecture review of existing products
  • Monthly advisory retainer option

Expected Outcome

Confidence in your technical direction. A clear path forward. No more guessing.

Not sure which is right for you?

Book a free 30-minute call. I will listen to where you are, tell you exactly what I would do next, and propose the right engagement - or tell you honestly if none of them fit.
