I help research teams and R&D orgs figure out what to build, then build it.

Researchers and technical teams hire me when they know what they need to accomplish, but not how to get there.

What I Do

Research and R&D Software

For research teams and technical founders.

Most research code works fine until someone else has to use it. If you have a working process, a prototype that proved the point, or code that was never meant to leave your machine, I can turn it into software that's stable, documented, and usable by your whole team. The methodology stays yours.

This could include:

Turning a manual research workflow into an automated, reliable pipeline
Making a proven prototype production-ready without distorting the methodology
Building tooling around an algorithm or process your team developed

Custom Internal Tools

For teams whose processes have outgrown the workarounds.

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.

This could include:

Building internal dashboards and data tools
Automating repetitive or error-prone workflows
Replacing manual handoffs and tracking with lightweight systems

"I don't know what I need yet."

For founders and teams with a real problem and no clear path to solving it.

Most projects don't fail just because of bad execution. They fail because nobody stopped to think through what should be built. If you have a goal, a problem, or a rough idea but no clear picture of the solution, that's where I start. I work backwards from what you're trying to accomplish to a concrete, buildable plan, then build it.

How It Works

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

Next is 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.

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