Lead it
I take over your technical leadership: the team, the architecture and the roadmap. Until you have found a permanent lead, or for as long as you want one.

Give me the hard part.
I've been writing software for thirty years, and along the way I've built teams and run a company of my own. When something is stuck, I find out why and fix it, in the code or wherever the cause is.
01Where I come in
It's rarely where it hurts.
A project stalls for a hundred reasons, and most of them don't show up where the pain is. I've worked on every side of a company, so I can find the one that matters and fix it there.
- Every release breaks something else.
- We doubled the team and got slower.
- The AI demo was amazing. Then we tried to ship it.
- Nobody here understands the whole system anymore.
- The agency built it. Now the agency is gone.
- We need a CTO, and we can't find one we trust.
Talk to me
If one of these is yours, tell me about it.
02Why me
I've done every job in a tech company, including running one.
Engineer
I have never stopped writing code, in any role. On every build I take the part that is hardest.
Lead
I have hired teams, rebuilt them, and let people go when it was not working. I know what a team needs before it can ship.
Product
I have taken products from a sketch to launch, and I know when to build something and when to buy it.
Founder
I ran my own software and design company. I found the clients, sold the work and delivered it, so I know what the deadline and the budget look like from your side of the table.
AI
I have worked with language models since they could only complete text, and built them into products people use every day. Now I build frameworks for them.
03Ways to work with me
However you need me.
Build it
I build the hard part myself, with your team or with people I bring. A product from nothing, a system that has to hold, AI that has to work in production.
Look at it
Your code, your team or your plans. I tell you why it isn't working and exactly how to fix it, without dressing it up.
Talk to me
Not sure which you need? Tell me the problem, and I'll tell you.
04Proof
Check my work.
What I'm building, how I think, and every job before this. All of it is in the open.
Tell me the problem.
A few lines are enough. I read every message myself, and I answer it.
