Small, visible steps from the first call to launch, with AI tools doing the repetitive work and me doing the thinking.
We talk through the problem, your users and your deadline. If I am not the right fit, I will say so on the call.
You get a short spec sheet you can share with co-founders or investors. Nothing is built until you agree to it.
I build in small slices and share each one on a preview link, so you see progress and can change direction early.
The app goes live on accounts you own. You get the code, the setup notes, and a walkthrough of how it all fits together.
I build with Claude Code and Codex, AI coding tools that write and change code under my direction. They handle the repetitive parts: boilerplate, tests, migrations, wiring. That leaves my time for the parts that decide whether a product works: architecture, data, security, and reviewing what gets shipped.
For app rescues I also work inside code generated by Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit and Base44. I read what the builder produced, keep what's sound, and replace what isn't.
Every change goes through automated tests and my own review before it ships. AI speeds up the typing; the decisions stay with a person.
