Remember:
Your product must
COMPETE
DON'T BE MID.

Research ideas

  • Should my product go in this direction?
  • What technologies should we use to achieve that?
  • Will this approach yield the desired result?

Trying to answer those questions?
Need expert judgement to come to a conclusion?
I can help you investigate and answer them.

How:

You tell me what you're trying to achieve, I tell you if it's a good fit for me, and how long it will take.

After agreement, I research the problem and present my findings to you.

Timeline:

Depends on the research scope.

The problems I've researched on typically took anywhere from 1 week to 3 months.
Rarely did they take 6 months.

Create prototypes

  • Need a mockup for presentation?
  • Want a prototype to test an idea?
  • Need to build a proof-of-concept for demo purposes?

A prototype is a valuable learning and communication tool before capital investment.
I can help you, your partners or investors envision the final product.

Expect nothing production-worthy from it though.

How:

You tell me your idea. I ask you questions.

After agreement, I proceed to build that proof-of-concept for you.

Timeline:

Depends on the originality and complexity of the idea, and the level of detail required.

Most prototypes I've created took 1 week to 2 months to finish.

Build
products

&

websites

  • Want to bring your business online?
  • Want to build a SaaS platform for your startup?
  • Need custom software for your business?
  • Want your software to be easier to use?

You've come at the right place.

I help you build a whole new product and website, or tune up your existing one.

How:

You tell me your product idea, or give me a tour of the existing product (if you have one).
I ask you questions. We discuss further.

After agreement, my team and I start building your product.

Timeline:

Depends on the scope of work.
Revamping an existing product is often faster than building new, but it's not always the case.

Add

features

capabilities

  • Add custom metrics to a dashboard?
  • Add features to your SaaS product?
  • Fix that bug which has been haunting your product for months?
  • Or, tune up the performance of your site?

I can help you extend, improve and maintain your existing product.
As long as you have the right to modify and publish the software.

I focus on C, C++, Python, Ruby, Javascript, HTML & CSS.

How:

You tell me your need, give me a tour of your existing product.
I ask you questions. We discuss further.
After agreement, my team and I start working on your requested feature.

Timeline:

Depends on the size of the existing codebase, how difficult it is to set up, and the scope of work.

I typically work on features that take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months to build with high quality.

De-slop AI

  • Need to assess code quality of an AI-generated product?
  • Need suggestions to best leverage AI in your product and engineering?
  • Fix issues that AI gave up?
  • Improve overall quality to a new level?

AI products have pros and cons.
I help you improve the pros, reduce the cons.

Reducing risk.
Improving quality of AI-generated software.

How:

You give me a tour of your product, tell me your needs.
I clarify them, do a quick check on the product and its codebase.

After agreement, I start improving the quality of your product.

Timeline:

Depends on the size and complexity of the codebase.

AI-generated codebase can be big and convoluted, so it typically takes me from 2 weeks for small codebases (less than 5000 lines of code) to 3 months for medium ones.

Consultant

  • Is your software team working well?
  • Are messages getting lost, upstream and downstream?
  • Are things falling apart after so much time to build?

I help you buff your team to work better and release more smoothly.

How:

You tell me about the problem with your team.
I tell you my thoughts and the way I'll debug it.

After agreement, you add me to your team so I can observe, identify the patterns, and suggest changes from coding practices to work processes.

At the end of each release cycle, you and I review the performance of the team, take note of further improvements, and execute them.

Timeline:

Depends on the size and structure of the team.
I typically work with teams fewer than 60 members (including teams of one) on projects lasting between 3 and 6 months.

  • Focused

    Contrary to "outsource", I'm "into-the-source". I put myself fully in the project, drill into it, bring out nuggets from market insights, good design & strategy to position you for success for years to come.

  • Unbiased

    If I think it's a bad idea, I'll call it so, show my reasonings and discuss alternatives with you. No sissy nor prissy.

  • No AI

    I create pearls, not empty shells. If you think AI can put you into enduring success, be welcomed to use it. Only call me if you want high value for your product.
