Services
The same experienced developer, three different entry points — depending on where you are in your AI journey.
"I want to build it myself with AI"
You've got an idea you've been sitting on for years. You've played with AI coding tools and you're convinced you can build this thing yourself. Maybe you can. But you know there's a difference between code that works and code that's built right — and you'd rather not find that out six months in.
What the engagement looks like
You drive your project. You're in the IDE, you're prompting the AI, you're making decisions. I'm your safety net and sounding board. We have regular check-ins where I review what you've built, flag the architectural landmines before you step on them, and help you make the decisions that AI tools aren't good at — infrastructure, security, data modelling, deployment strategy.
What you get
- Async access for quick "is this right?" questions
- Regular architecture reviews of what you've built
- Honest assessment when something needs rethinking
- Guidance on what AI is great at and where you need to be careful
Typical client
A founder, a product person, or a technically-curious non-developer who's building their first real project with AI assistance.
Pricing
Advisory & Reviews — from €1,500/month. Month-to-month, no lock-in.
"I want it built, but AI should make it cheaper"
You've got an idea and you've had quotes from agencies or freelancers. The numbers felt high. You've seen what AI can do and you think "surely this should cost less now?" You're right — it should. But "cheaper" doesn't have to mean "worse." It means working with someone who knows how to use AI effectively, guided by experience, with your continuous input shaping the result.
What the engagement looks like
You provide the ideas, the feedback, the direction. I build it — using AI tools extensively, but with a senior developer's eye on every decision. This isn't AI slop wrapped in a bow. It's a proper build process, accelerated by AI, with you involved throughout. You'll see progress regularly, give feedback, and shape the product as it develops.
What you get
- A working product — deployed, in a GitHub repo, ready to go
- Regular walkthroughs so you understand what's been built
- Documentation and handover so you're not dependent on me
- Option to move to a lighter retainer for ongoing support and changes
Typical client
A business owner, entrepreneur, or startup founder who knows what they want but needs someone to build it properly.
Pricing
Full Engagement — from €3,500/month. Month-to-month, no lock-in.
"My team is using AI but it's not coming together"
Your developers are using AI tools. Code is being generated. Things are moving fast. But something feels off. The architecture is inconsistent, the AI-generated code doesn't quite gel, and you're not sure if what's being built is going to hold up. You need someone who can see the whole picture and help your team use AI effectively rather than just quickly.
What the engagement looks like
I work alongside your team — reviewing output, coaching on what to look for in AI-generated code, setting up the right review gates so the routine stuff flows and the structural decisions get proper attention. This isn't micromanagement. It's giving your team an experienced pair of eyes and helping them develop the judgement to know when AI output is fine and when it needs intervention.
What you get
- Direct developer support — your team can reach out for code reviews, pair debugging, guidance
- Architecture and code quality reviews
- Coaching on effective AI-assisted development practices
- Regular check-ins with you on progress and concerns
Typical client
A CTO, tech lead, or non-technical founder with a small-to-medium development team.
Pricing
Team Support — from €2,500/month. Month-to-month, no lock-in.
One-off engagements
Sometimes you don't need an ongoing relationship — you need specific expertise for a specific moment.
Architecture Review
A deep look at your codebase and infrastructure
I'll spend 2-3 days understanding your system, then deliver a written report with prioritised recommendations. What's solid, what's risky, what to tackle first.
Technical Due Diligence
For investors or acquirers assessing a product
An honest assessment of codebase quality, team capability, technical debt, and scaling risks. Clear, jargon-free report for decision-makers.
Incident Support
Production issue? Performance crisis?
Short-term intensive engagement to stabilise and fix. Available quickly when things go wrong.
Technology focus
AWS & Serverless
Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CDK, EventBridge. Production-grade serverless that scales and costs almost nothing at low traffic.
TypeScript & Node.js
Full-stack TypeScript. Type-safe from database to browser — the stack that lets small teams move fast without breaking things.
React & Modern Frontend
Next.js, Astro, component architectures. Fast, accessible, maintainable interfaces.
AI Integration
Claude, embeddings, practical AI features that solve real problems — not demos that impress investors.
Not sure which fits?
That's fine. Let's talk and figure it out. No pitch deck. No sales funnel. Just an honest chat.
