Services

I take on a small amount of independent work each week.

If your team is drowning in manual work, unsure how to standardize AI coding tools, or shipping inconsistent output because nobody's written the convention files yet, this is the right page.

AI Readiness Assessment

A 1-hour working call plus a 3-artifact deliverable bundle: written action plan, adapted playbook, and custom AGENTS.md committed to your repo.

What you get:

  • Written action plan. Your team's diagnosed readiness level and the 3-4 highest-ROI next steps, with effort and expected outcome per action.
  • Custom AI Adoption Playbook. My public playbook adapted to your stack, scale, and level. Examples use your domain, not generic SaaS.
  • Custom AGENTS.md. Ready to commit to your main repo. Tailored to your codebase structure, conventions, and stack.

Problems I work on

01

AI coding tools are installed but inconsistent

Your team has Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot licenses, but output quality varies wildly between developers, senior engineers are skeptical, and nobody can prove ROI. I help you standardize tool selection, build a rollout plan, and run a practitioner workshop against your actual codebase.

Convention files, rollout plans, practitioner workshops

02

Manual work that should have died years ago

If a team is still clicking through Postman, copying CSVs, or babysitting runs by hand, there's probably a better system hiding in there. Python, APIs, Lambda, queues, n8n when it fits. Production-grade systems with error handling, logging, and monitoring.

03

A system decision everyone keeps politely avoiding

Some problems don't need a giant platform. They need someone to map the workflow, find the expensive part, build the right slice, and leave the decision trail somewhere better than Slack. Architecture plus implementation, not just a deck.

How engagements work

Every engagement starts with a short async brief describing the problem, your stack, and what you've already tried. I read it ahead of a 45-minute call, and within 48 hours you get a written action plan: what I'd do, in what order, with rough scope. Yours to keep whether or not we work together.

Build is async-first with weekly check-ins. Production-grade code with error handling, logging, and monitoring. Handoff includes documentation, runbooks, and 30 days of support.

Not a fit

I can't take work in investment management, wealth advisory, retirement solutions, ESG data, credit ratings, or compliance software for financial services. Conflict with my current employer.

I also don't work well with teams that want a six-month discovery phase before anyone touches code, need daytime or business-hours coverage, or expect me to compete in a formal RFP with a scoring rubric.

If any of this sounds like your team, send a short note describing the problem. I read every submission and respond within 48 hours with either a scoping proposal or an honest "I'm not the right fit for this."
