Monthly retainer engagements for small businesses and early-stage companies that need a complete technical foundation: the application, infrastructure, pipelines, and docs, built to scale and ready to hand off.
Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot are core to the development workflow here, meaning faster iteration, higher test coverage, and cleaner code than you'd get from a traditional engineer billing the same hours.
Every project includes automated tests from the start: unit, integration, and end-to-end, wired into a CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline so nothing breaks silently. Your future team inherits confidence, not anxiety.
The full environment gets built around your application: CI/CD pipelines, staging and production infrastructure, monitoring, secrets management, and architecture docs. The next team, whether a dev shop or your first hire, can start building without a setup sprint.
Building AI-native features into your product, not just calling an API, but architecting the full pipeline. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that retrieve over your own data, LLM-powered workflows, semantic search, and AI chat experiences wired into a real application backend.

Get a working, tested MVP in front of real users. Best for founders who have a clear idea and need a technical partner to build it fast and right.
End-to-end product development with the structure to hand off to a growing team. Frontend, backend, infrastructure, testing, and product management included.
Already have a codebase? Get an architecture audit, a test coverage assessment, a CI/CD review, and a concrete technical roadmap.
FAQ
You do. All IP is assigned to you in the engagement agreement. Everything lives in your repos from day one — no code held hostage, no dependency on outside infrastructure.
It means the environment is complete, not just the application. A new engineer (whether from a dev shop or your first hire) can read the architecture docs, spin up a local environment, run the test suite, and start contributing right away. Clean code, documented decisions, and a CI/CD pipeline that keeps quality high as your team grows.
Yes. Experience translating technical decisions for non-technical stakeholders means you'll never feel like decisions are being made behind a wall of jargon. You'll stay informed and involved without getting buried in implementation details.
Absolutely. Many clients continue on a reduced retainer for iteration and maintenance after launch, including support for your team's onboarding while your first engineering hire ramps up.
Yes, standard NDAs and confidentiality agreements are no problem — happy to sign before any substantive conversations.
Yes, this is a core offering. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines let your users search or chat over your own data, LLM-powered workflows integrate into your backend, semantic search runs on vector databases like Pinecone or pgvector, and AI features build on the OpenAI or Claude API. If AI is central to your product idea, the full architecture can be handled here.
Tools like Claude Code and Cursor run throughout the full development cycle: architecture brainstorming, code generation, test writing, and documentation. These tools don't replace engineering judgment; they amplify it — faster delivery, better test coverage, and cleaner code than manual work alone would produce.
