Startups and scale-ups
Fast iteration on AI-powered products, from MVP to production-ready. Often working alongside founders or small engineering teams.
Startups and scale-ups need to move fast - validate ideas, build MVPs, and get to production without getting stuck in complexity. I work alongside founders and small engineering teams to ship AI-powered products.
The work ranges from greenfield MVPs to adding AI to existing products. I focus on getting something working that you can put in front of users, then iterating based on feedback. For early-stage teams, that might mean building the first version yourself so you can learn what works. For scale-ups, it might mean accelerating a specific AI initiative or filling a gap until you hire. The goal is momentum - shipped software that creates value, not perfect architecture that never ships.
