Human craft
at AI speed

I take your idea to production. No team to hire, no agency to brief. AI ships solid products when someone actually steers it, and I've been driving it longer than ChatGPT has existed.

I've built for

McKinsey / EVS Broadcast / Yellow Pages / major retail / public sector and more

Three options.
None of them great.

Vibe coders

Fast and cheap to get a prototype running. Taking that codebase to production usually requires a heavier review and refactor than expected.

Agencies

Solid delivery model, but you brief through account management. By the time your intent reaches the people writing the code, the signal has thinned, and the result can drift from what you actually needed.

Hiring a team

Weeks to recruit, a heavy cost to carry, people to manage and processes to set up, all before you've validated the market.

One senior. No single point of failure.

One senior takes you from idea to launch. Strategy, design, code, deployment. A real product, not a throwaway prototype.

Things move fast because nothing has to filter through layers or get handed between teams. AI does most of the production work, I keep the strategic decisions, and when a project needs expertise that goes beyond mine, I bring in someone I've worked with and trust.

After launch, the product is yours. Clean architecture, documented, ready for your future team to take over. Or I stay on for what comes next.

What I do.

From idea to working product

You come in with an idea or a problem to solve. You leave with a working product, not a mockup or a clickable prototype.

Non-tech founders, SMEs

AI inside your business

More than adding tools. I look at how the work actually happens, then build AI agents around the repetitive parts. Your team spends less time on manual work, more time on the parts that need judgment.

Teams with repetitive workflows or operational bottlenecks

Rescue & Scale

Your prototype was built fast and has started to matter. I keep what works, replace what won't hold, improve the UX, and get it ready for real users.

Founders with a prototype that needs to hold up

Codebase audit, including legacy systems

I use AI-assisted analysis to read across large or undocumented codebases, then validate the findings as an engineer. You get a clear map of the system, the main risks, and what to fix first.

Fractional CTO

Technical leadership without the full-time salary. Architecture, hiring, processes, and actual code.

Startups pre-seed to Series A

How I work.

Understand

Your problem, not your solution. What's the real business need? Who are the users? What does success look like?

Scope & Architect

Product scope, right tech stack, architecture, and design direction. Clear roadmap with milestones and timelines.

Build

AI agents execute under my direction. I define the architecture and validate every output. Product engineering, not vibe coding.

Ship

Cloud deployment, CI/CD, monitoring. It runs in production, not on a laptop.

Iterate

Launch is day one, not the finish line. We measure, learn, improve.
