Work with me
Tell me what's stuck. I'll tell you what it takes.
Your team built something with AI and it works. Then it needs real logins, a real database, security and a place to live, and it stalls. Tell me the hard part in a few lines and I'll write back, free, with what I'd look at first.
Where AI-built things get stuck
-
Logins that hold up
Your app has a sign-in screen. I make sure it keeps the wrong people out and lets the right ones in.
-
Data that sticks
It forgets things on refresh, or loses them when you update. I give it a real database and backups.
-
Security, checked
Passwords, keys and customer data are where AI-built apps leak. I check for the common leaks and fix what I find.
-
Somewhere real to live
From one person's laptop to a place that stays up, with a way to see what broke and a way to undo it.
You hire one person.
I handle the whole job: the plan, the build, the launch, and keeping it running. If a piece needs a specialist, I bring them in and manage them. Think of it like a general contractor for software. You deal with me, not five different people.
You can count on
- One person to call. It's just me by default. If anyone else ever needs access, I ask you first.
- You own everything. The code, the accounts, the data.
- Bad news comes from me first, with the fix.
I answer for the work, including anything a specialist does for me. If something goes wrong, I fix it or make it right.
Questions about access, your data, or what happens if I am unavailable? Ask before we start. I will answer in writing.
How it works
One road, start to finish.
- 1
You tell me the hard part
A few lines by email: what you're trying to do and where it's stuck.
- 2
I reply in writing. Free.
What I think is wrong and what I'd check first. That reply is the whole free part. I don't open your code or systems for free.
-
Not a fit
I say so and point you to someone who is.
3A fit: the check-up
Fixed price, starting at $3,500. About a week once I have access. You see the price before I start, and it's credited toward the work if you hire me.
You get a written plan: what's risky, what to fix first, what it costs. It's yours to keep either way.

I do the work, start to finish
I build it, launch it and keep it running. If a piece needs a specialist, I bring them in and manage them. You don't manage anything.
I check for the common problems and fix what I find. I advise and I build; I can't promise any system is unbreakable.
Nonprofits, schools and small organizations: tell me your budget. When I have room, I work with it, and sometimes it is free.
Built software at
- Apple iPhone systems team
- Yahoo via the BrightRoll acquisition
- BrightRoll mobile and web SDKs
- 8x8 created the developer relations org
- Buffer employee #7
I also build and run my own products, solo, end to end. It's the same care I'd bring to yours. See them →
