Three ways to work together. All of them end in production.

Engineering when you need the thing built. Consulting when you need to know why it isn't moving. Advisory when there's no one senior in the room. No fees on the site — every engagement is scoped in the first conversation.

Engineering

Hands-on delivery

Architecture, production AI systems, evaluation and guardrails, data foundations. I write code, sit in your standups, and leave your team able to run it.

Who it's for
Engineering leaders with a pilot that works in a notebook and nowhere else; teams under regulatory constraints who need it to survive an audit.
What you get
A target architecture, the evaluation harness, working software in your repo, and documentation your team will actually read. Anchor engagements of 40–60 hours per month.
How it's priced
Fixed monthly fee, agreed for a minimum of three months.
Consulting

The AI Delivery Review

1–3 weeksfixed scopefixed fee

The entry offer. Where your AI effort is stalled and why, a review of architecture and tooling, and a concrete path to production or to team leverage. Also: fixed-scope projects when the problem is already clear.

Who it's for
CTOs and VPs who have bought the tools — Cursor, Claude, Copilot — and can't show the board what changed. Founders who need a second opinion before committing a team.
What you get
Interviews with your leads, a read of the codebase and the pipeline, a written report with the three things to change first, and a half-day working session to start them.
How it's priced
Fixed fee, banded by company size. Fixed-scope projects are quoted after the Review.
Advisory

A senior technical leader, part-time

Monthly retainers and fractional-CTO leadership for companies whose dev team has no one above it. I attend the meetings that matter, review the decisions, and say no when needed.

Who it's for
Non-technical companies with an in-house dev team; scale-ups between their first and second technical hire; boards that want a plain answer.
What you get
A standing weekly slot, vendor and hiring decisions reviewed, an AI roadmap written in your language, and a phone number that answers.
How it's priced
Fixed monthly fee, in two bands depending on days per month.

Thirty minutes. Bring the thing that's stuck.

No deck, no pitch. You describe the situation; I tell you what I'd look at first.
