Product scoping
A rough idea becomes a concrete first version: what to build, what to skip, and why — in writing.
What I do
From idea to production.
Apps and APIs
Web apps, dashboards, APIs, and backend services built to survive real users, not just a demo.
Model features
Model calls, retrieval, tool use, evaluations, and logging — wired in cleanly, so the product stays maintainable.
Data and cloud
Data pipelines, AWS infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, and cost controls that do not surprise you.
Process
Call. Plan. Build.
- Call: Fifteen minutes to pin down the goal, the users, the timeline, and what is actually blocking you.
- Plan: A short written plan: scope, milestones, and expected cost. No surprises later.
- Build: Work ships in small pieces, with regular demos, so you always know where things stand.
Pricing
$200 / hour.
One rate, no lock-in. Spend the hours where they matter: design review, implementation, debugging, architecture, or ongoing technical help.
- Hourly: focused help, code review, and unblocking.
- Project: fixed scope, clear milestones, known cost.
- Retainer: a senior engineer on call, week after week.
