Direct execution model

Two ways to build your product. Which one is better?

Side by side — the agency path most founders default to, and the direct path I offer. Same goal, very different cost, speed and clarity.

Proven Impact

Real Engineering Problems. Measured in Numbers.

Tangible business and operational outcomes delivered for real companies and high-volume platforms.

AI Workflow AutomationHigh-Volume Wholesale Supplier

B2B Automated Invoice & Logistics Ingestion Pipeline

The Problem

Operations team spent 25 hours/week manually keying messy supplier PDF invoices into their database, leading to an unacceptable 6% clerical error rate and delayed warehouse fulfillment.

The Engineering Solution

Built a serverless Python pipeline leveraging GPT-4o Vision and strict Pydantic schema validation. Invoices dropped into an inbox are parsed, cross-checked against purchase orders, and committed into PostgreSQL in under 4 seconds.

The Measurable Result

100% manual entry eliminated with 0% schema error rate across 4,000+ invoices, saving over $2,200/month in operational overhead.

Database Scalability & Concurrency Rescue Under Heavy Traffic

The Problem

Database CPU pegged at 100% with just 40 concurrent users, generating recurring 504 Gateway Timeouts during customer checkout and threatening a major partner launch.

The Engineering Solution

Executed surgical EXPLAIN ANALYZE profiling, resolved hidden Prisma ORM N+1 query loops, added composite indexes on hot join keys, and introduced an in-memory Redis caching tier.

The Measurable Result

Query latency plummeted from 3,800 ms to 42 ms. Database CPU utilization dropped by 70% while effortlessly sustaining 500+ concurrent checkout sessions.

What I do

Enterprise-level engineering. Founder-level access.

Seven ways founders work with me — from first MVP and AI automation to growth-stage CTO support.

SaaS MVP Development

Turn an idea into a production-ready MVP in weeks, not months. Architecture, backend, APIs, auth, cloud deploy.

AI MVP Development

Modern LLM products done right — AI assistants, dashboards, document processing, workflow automation.

B2B AI Workflow Automation

Turn repetitive manual operations into autonomous pipelines. PDF/invoice extraction, private RAG, and smart qualification agents.

Technical Partnership

Long-term collaboration as your trusted engineer: roadmap, architecture, tech selection, engineering leadership.

SaaS Rescue

Recover projects suffering from poor architecture, missed deadlines, technical debt or scalability issues.

Product Scaling

Performance, security, cloud infrastructure, databases and deployment pipelines built for growth.

Fractional CTO

Engineering strategy, team mentoring, architecture governance, hiring — for growth-stage startups.

Why founders pick me

Software development isn't my main offer. Execution is.

I move fast because I pair 10+ years of senior engineering with modern AI tools — seniority chooses the right path, AI shortens the road. Together they let me ship accurately, in a fraction of the usual time.

I'm a technical person — and quietly, a business one too. Years of hands-on marketing experience, plus Google My Business and Digital Garage certifications, let me think about your product the way your customers will. I help you go from zero to hero — not just build software.

You'll also be working with an engineer who's been a core team member inside American startups — the pace, the product instincts, the bar for quality. That experience comes with me into your product.

Most engagements run monthly — some founders only need a focused week.
Production-ready MVPs in weeks, not months.
AI-augmented delivery, senior-engineered decisions.
Engineer + marketer mindset — built to ship and built to sell.
Faster execution

Direct communication. No coordination overhead between you and the code.

Lower risk

10+ years building production systems — Clean Architecture, DDD, microservices.

Right tech choices

.NET, Node, React, Postgres, AI/LLM — picked for your business, not my preferences.

Built to scale

Architectures that survive growth — performance, security, cloud, deployment pipelines.

How it works

From first message to launched product.

  1. 01
    Discovery call

    Free 30-min call. We discuss your idea, constraints and goals.

  2. 02
    Technical proposal

    Architecture, stack, timeline and a transparent scope you can act on.

  3. 03
    Build

    Iterative delivery directly with me — demos, code reviews, async updates.

  4. 04
    Launch & scale

    Production deploy, monitoring, hand-off — or continue as your technical partner.

Investment

Simple, transparent pricing.

Pricing is always a conversation — every project is a little different. Instead of locking you into rigid monthly overheads, we tie pricing directly to deliverables so you only pay for actual working results.

Pricing model
Milestone-Based/ deliverables

Zero hourly billing. We define clear delivery phases, and you only settle payments as milestones are met.

Step 1
Advance

One third up-front to kick things off and lock the slot.

Step 2
Progress

Work happens with full visibility — demos, docs, repo access.

Step 3
Final

Remaining two thirds settled at the end, once you're happy.

Full transparency, every step. You receive documented updates and visible results on a regular cadence — so you always know exactly where your money is going and what's been built.

Development infrastructure on me.

During the build, you don't pay for any of the moving parts behind the scenes.

  • Cloud hosting to run the app while we build
  • Git repositories with live access for you
  • Staging environments to review results online
  • Tooling, CI/CD and monitoring during development
Free for you during development. At the end, everything migrates cleanly to your own accounts — code, cloud, data, all yours.
