How it works
Fit call
15 minutes. We figure out if there's a real problem I can solve. No pitch deck, no pressure.
Get Clear
$797 diagnostic. 90 minutes of deep work. You get a roadmap you can run with — or hire me to execute.
Build & ship
Pick your tier. I code, you don't. Weekly Looms replace weekly meetings. Async-first.
Compound or exit
Systems that run without you. Stay engaged at fractional rate, or hand off with full docs.
Built for AI founders who've already proven the idea
AI startups needing a technical co-founder
You have the domain expertise and traction — you need someone to own architecture, agentic AI workflows, LangChain pipelines, and shipping.
Funded founders replacing agencies
Agencies burned you on timeline and budget. You want one senior person who owns the outcome end-to-end.
Revenue-stage companies scaling systems
Your MVP worked. Now you need production-grade systems that handle real load, compliance, and growth.
