I'll have a prototype
ready before your
next investor meeting.

15 years of engineering. I build fast and I don't break things to do it. MVPs and early stage products for founders who don't have a technical co-founder yet.

What I do

Four things, done well.

Not a dev shop. Not a consultant with a 40-page deck. Just an engineer who's been a founder and builds fast.

01

MVP development

Napkin to working product, typically in 2 to 4 weeks. Solid enough to show investors, built to survive what comes next.

02

CTO on demand

Architecture, vendor choices, hiring your first engineer. I help you make the calls you didn't know you needed to make.

03

AI built in, not bolted on

I design AI into the product from day one. Not a chatbot wrapper. Production-ready systems that actually do something.

04

Legacy rescue

Inherited something broken? I've untangled systems nobody understood anymore and migrated multi-TB databases without drama.

How it works

Here's exactly
what happens.

01

Tell me what you're building

30 minutes. Bring a napkin sketch, a Figma, a voice memo, whatever you've got. You'll leave with clarity regardless of whether we work together.

02

I'll tell you what to build first

The smallest version that proves the idea and is worth showing to users or investors. We agree on scope before a line of code is written.

03

I build it, you watch it happen

Working software in days, not a status deck in weeks. I ship continuously and adjust as we learn. You're not waiting in the dark.

04

Clean handoff, you own everything

Your code, your infra, your accounts. No lock-in. If you bring in a full time team after, I'll make sure they don't hate what I built.

I've co-founded three companies as CTO. I know what a six month timeline costs a startup. It's usually the whole thing.

A few years ago I started building with AI tools, not because it was trending but because it let me ship quality work at a pace that actually helps early-stage founders. The 15 years behind it is what makes the speed not scary.

If you've talked to dev shops and felt like they didn't get it, that's probably what brings you here.

Got something you want to build?

Tell me about it. 30 minutes, no pitch deck required.
If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
