Custom Solutions

AI systems, built and handed over working.

Not a slide deck and not a pilot that dies in review. Agents, automation and custom builds from a senior engineer who shipped production systems at Microsoft and Amazon — designed with your team, deployed, documented, and left running.

Services

What we build for you.

System design & architecture review

AI can write the code now. What it cannot do is tell you the design is wrong. I review the system you have — or design the one you need — for the failure modes, the data flow and the seams that decide whether this still works at ten times the load.

Workflow automation & agents

n8n pipelines and agents that live on a server and run around the clock, reading your systems, deciding, and handing off to a human when they should. Scoped to a job you can measure, not a demo.

Consulting

An honest read on where AI belongs in your business and where it does not. What to automate first, what to leave alone, what the blueprint looks like before anyone writes code — and when the answer is don’t build it.

Training

Get your team building instead of watching. Hands-on sessions on the tools that matter, run by the engineer teaching 77,000+ developers — so the capability stays in your team after I leave.

Who you work with

You get me, not a junior.

I spent years shipping production software inside Microsoft and Amazon — the kind with real traffic, real on-call and real consequences. At AWS I built the no-code and low-code ETL features in Glue Studio, ran live technical demos for enterprise customers, and helped cut ETL processing time by 65%.

Now I teach 77,000+ developers how to build with AI, and I build the same systems for companies. That means you are hiring the person who does the work, and who has to explain it clearly enough that 77,000 people can follow along.

Process

Three steps, no mystery.

Step 1

Call

Fifteen minutes on what you actually need. You leave with a straight answer on whether this is worth building, including when it isn't.

Step 2

Scope

A written plan: what gets built, what it touches, what it costs, and how we'll know it worked. Approved before any code is written.

Step 3

Ship

Built, deployed and documented. Your team gets a walkthrough and the keys — the system is yours to run, not rented back to you.

Deliverables

What actually lands in your hands.

No black boxes, no dependency on me after handover.

The running system

Deployed on your infrastructure, under your accounts, with your credentials. Not hosted by me and rented back.

The source, and the reasoning

Every repo, plus written notes on why it is built this way — the trade-offs, the things considered and rejected.

A walkthrough with your team

A recorded session where your engineers drive and I answer, so the knowledge does not leave when I do.

An honest list of what will break

Known limits, failure modes and the conditions under which this needs revisiting. Every system has them.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What does it cost?
It depends entirely on scope, so any number here would be a guess. The call is free and ends with a straight answer on rough size and whether it is worth doing at all. A written scope with a fixed price comes after that, before any code exists.
How long does it take?
Most engagements are measured in weeks, not quarters — that is the point of building with AI rather than around it. The scope document commits to dates, and those dates are agreed before we start.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. The code, the infrastructure and the accounts are yours. There is no licence to renew and nothing that stops working if you stop paying me.
We already have engineers. Why you?
Often the right answer is your own team, and I will say so. Where I add something is the design review — AI writes code quickly now, which means the expensive mistakes have moved upstream into architecture. That is the part I am useful for.
What if AI is not the right answer for this?
Then I tell you on the call and you have not spent anything. I would rather lose the work than ship a system that does not earn its place.
Will this work with our existing stack?
That is a question the scope answers. Bring what you are running to the call — the integration seams are usually the part that decides whether a plan is realistic.
