The Problem
You have an idea and a budget. But between where you are now and a working product, there are dozens of technical decisions you don't have the context to make yet. Most developers will take your money and start building. I start by making sure you're building the right thing.
What I Do
Discovery & Scoping
Before you spend a dollar on development, we define exactly what you're building — whether or not we keep working together. You walk away with:
- Unknowns identified upfront
- Technical gaps filled
- Phased roadmap & realistic budget
- An actionable document you own
Technical Strategy
The decisions that are expensive to get wrong:
- Architecture & infrastructure
- AI implementation
- Compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Build vs. buy & hiring
Build
When the scope is clear and the plan is right, I execute. Here's how that looks:
- Phased delivery with milestones
- Transparent communication
- Project-based pricing, not hourly
- Production-ready code
Track Record
7 years building software inside startups. I recently scoped a healthcare startup's MVP in 48 hours - caught hidden complexity in their compliance layer that would have derailed the build before a single line of code was written.
How to Start
Fit Call (15 min, free)
You tell me what you're building. I tell you how I work. We figure out if there's a fit.
Discovery ($750)
I dig into your project, identify unknowns, and deliver a written scope, phased plan, and realistic budget. This alone can save you thousands in wrong turns.
What's Next
You have a written plan and a clear budget. From here we can move into a build engagement, ongoing advisory, or you take the plan and run. No pressure either way.
