Services
From fragile prototype to a product users can rely on. I build backends and AI features that survive real traffic
How it works
A tight process built for shipping, not meetings. You work directly with me from the first call to the handoff — no account managers, no junior handoffs.
1
Intro Call
A 30-minute call to pin down the real problem — not the wishlist. We’ll talk goals, constraints, and whether I’m the right fit. No pitch decks.
2
Fixed Scope
You get a written scope with timeline, price, and deliverables before anything starts. What you sign is what you get — no surprise invoices later.
3
Build in the Open
I ship in short cycles with a live preview from week one. You see real progress every few days and steer as it takes shape — never a big-bang reveal.
4
Ship & Hand Off
Deployed, monitored, and documented. Clean code, no black boxes — your team can run with it from day one, and you own everything.
5
Post-Launch Support
One month of free support after delivery. I stay on hand for fixes, questions, and tuning while your product meets its first real users.

Your SSH key is already an account: building multiplayer apps over SSH
Every SSH connection proves who the user is before your app runs a byte. I built a small Go framework on that, and here is what treating the key fingerprint as an account makes possible.

Shipping 100,000 construction PDFs a month: what actually breaks
A year of running a document processing pipeline at scale through tender packs, permit applications, site surveys, and A0 drawings. The PDFs themselves rank third on the list of things that break.

Research
Beyond client work, I publish research. Benchmarks, preprints, and one new star.
MCP in the Wild: Cross-Domain Knowledge Discovery through Multi-Server Orchestration
An empirical study of multi-server MCP orchestration — 17 real tool calls across 6 servers, a 7-model benchmark, and 5 composition patterns. Preprint, 2026
Discovery of TIC 63038821: A New UV Ceti / BY Draconis Variable M-Dwarf Binary from TESS Sector 1
Discovered a previously unreported variable star using autoencoder anomaly detection on 15,665 TESS light curves. Flare events, rotational modulation, and chromospheric activity confirmed. Zenodo, 2026
FAQs
The questions founders usually ask before we start working together.
I'm here to help you
How long does a project take?
AI integration runs 2–4 weeks, backend rescue 1–3 weeks, and a full MVP 4–8 weeks. You get a fixed timeline in the written scope before we start — and I hold to it.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
What do you need from me to get started?
Can you work with our existing codebase and team?
Do you provide post-launch support?
What’s the best way to reach you?
