Ways to work together.

I take a validated idea and turn it into a real, deployable SaaS product founders can show to users, investors, and design partners. Architecture decisions are made for where you're going — not just where you are today — so the MVP doesn't have to be thrown away the moment you find traction.

Going from a ChatGPT prompt demo to a reliable AI product is where most teams stall. I design AI systems with the same rigor as any other backend: evaluations, guardrails, observability, cost control, and graceful fallbacks. The result is an AI product that holds up under real user traffic — not just a flashy demo.

For founders who don't just need code — they need someone in their corner making the right technical calls over months and years. I work alongside you on roadmap, architecture, hiring, and trade-offs, so the product keeps moving in the right direction even as the team and the market change.

When a previous agency or team left things in a difficult state — slow features, fragile deploys, unhappy users — I come in to stabilize the codebase, finish what matters, and put the project back on a healthy trajectory. The goal is honest assessment first, surgical fixes second, and a realistic plan you can act on.

Growth exposes everything. Slow queries, fragile services, scary deploys, security gaps. I work on the parts that quietly limit your business — performance, infrastructure, data, and process — so you can grow users and revenue without growing fear of the next outage.

Not every startup needs — or can afford — a full-time CTO yet. I step in as your acting CTO for a few days a week: setting technical strategy, building or mentoring the team, owning architecture standards, and translating business goals into an engineering roadmap.
