I run a one-person software studio that helps early-stage teams figure out what to build — then build it.

Founders and researchers hire me when they know what they need to accomplish, but not how to get there.

What I Do

Early product development

For teams building something new.

Many projects stall not because of poor execution, but because it isn't always clear what needs to be built. I work with early-stage teams who have something real (an idea, a proof of concept, a rough prototype) but no clear path to a working product. That means scoping what's realistic, validating technical approaches before you're committed to them, and building systems that can grow without requiring a rewrite six months later.

Typical project range: $15–30k

Research-to-software translation

For research-driven teams.

Most research code works fine until someone else has to use it. If you have a working experiment, a prototype that proved the point, or code that was never meant to leave your machine, I can help turn that into software that holds up outside the lab. The result is stable, maintainable, and accurate to the underlying work. The methodology stays yours — I just make it possible for others to use it.

Typical project range: $8–15k

Custom tools & automation

For teams whose internal processes are starting to break down.

At some point, the spreadsheet that was "good enough for now" becomes a liability. I build internal tools for teams who've hit that wall — replacing manual workflows, fragile scripts, and duct-taped processes with something reliable, documented, and built for the people who actually use it.

Typical project range: $5–15k

How It Works

Every engagement starts with a paid scoping phase. Before any build work begins, we get clear on what problem you're actually trying to solve, what constraints you're working within, and what a realistic path forward looks like. If you move forward, the scoping fee is credited toward the project.

Once the project is scoped, the build is fixed-price. You'll see working software throughout the process, not just at the end.

Want to talk through your project first? Every engagement starts with a free discovery call. We can discuss whether I'm the right fit for your project, and if not, I can point you in the right direction.

Who I Work With

Early-stage founders who have something real but no clear path to building it yet.
Research teams with working experiments or prototypes that need to hold up outside the lab.
Small companies whose internal processes have outgrown the workarounds.

Not sure if your project fits? Reach out anyway. If I'm not the right match, I'll try to point you somewhere better.

That's usually a good sign you're in the right place. Reach out and we'll figure out whether I can help.
