Every engagement starts with a scoping call — not a sales pitch. You'll know exactly what I'll build, what it will cost, and when it'll be done before a single line of code is written. Below is what I do and how I think about it.
You know the full cost before I start. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
I scope it, build it, and ship it. The same person you talk to on day one is the one who delivers on day thirty. No handoffs.
Modern tooling has changed what one focused builder can ship. I pass that speed directly to you — not as a discount, but as a genuine shift in what's possible.
Each service below maps to a specific situation. Read the one that sounds like yours.
You have conviction — maybe funding, maybe just a clear vision — but no technical co-founder. Every agency quote you've gotten is painful. Hiring a full-time CTO isn't right yet. You need the product built now, by someone who understands why the product decisions matter as much as the code.
I come in as your technical co-founder for the build phase. I challenge the parts that will slow you down, build the parts that matter, and hand you something you can put in front of users and investors.
You're making architectural decisions without anyone to sanity-check them. You're evaluating vendors, interviewing engineering candidates, navigating a pivot, or preparing for technical due diligence — without a technical co-founder in your corner. These decisions compound. Getting them wrong costs 12–18 months and significant capital.
I come in on a retainer as your fractional technical co-founder. Not to write code — to make sure the right technical decisions get made at the right time.
You're running bookings, intake, scheduling, or client management through a patchwork of spreadsheets and phone calls. Every new client adds manual work. You've priced agencies — painful. You've tried off-the-shelf software — doesn't quite fit. Neither was built for how your business actually works.
I build exactly what your operation needs, scoped precisely to your workflow. Not adapted from a template. Built from scratch around the way your business runs.
You have analytics installed but you don't trust them. You're spending on acquisition but can't clearly attribute what's working. You're about to double down on a channel — or cut one — without the data to justify either decision.
I build the measurement layer that tells you the truth: where customers come from, what's converting them, and what you should build or spend on next. Data you can act on, readable by people who aren't engineers.
The single biggest question before any call. Here's the honest answer. All prices in CAD. Every project is scoped before any commitment.
Test your idea before committing to a full build. A working prototype with core functionality, technical documentation, and a clear roadmap for what comes next.
A production-ready application with authentication, core features, admin tools, and deployment. Everything you need to launch and start acquiring users.
Full build plus analytics infrastructure, measurement setup, and post-launch optimization. For founders who need the technical and data layer locked in from day one.
Ongoing support, iteration, and fractional technical leadership. New features, hosting, and technical strategy on a predictable monthly cost.
Custom scopes are common. If the project doesn't fit a tier, I'll scope it precisely and send you a fixed number before anything starts.
30 minutes. No pitch, no pressure. I'll ask the hard questions, you'll leave with clarity on what you need — and whether I'm the right person to build it.
