AI-Directed Software Engineering

Disciplined Engineering.
Not Vibe Coding.

Custom applications for web, mobile, tablet, and cloud — secure by design, standards-compliant, and built with AI-directed engineering guided by four decades of software discipline. Scoped in writing, priced before work begins, demonstrated at every checkpoint.

The Unit of Everything

The 20-Hour Module

$3,600

$180 per hour · sliding to $125/hr on larger commitments

Fixed Scope, in Writing — one end-to-end deliverable per module, agreed before work begins. No mystery invoices.

Predictable Spend — buy one module or several. You control scope and budget at every step.

Visible Progress — a working demonstration at every checkpoint. You see it, test it, and approve before I move on.

Your Code Is Yours — full source, documentation, and deployment details delivered with every module.

How a Module Gets Built

Every module follows the same loop. You see a working demonstration at every checkpoint, and nothing ships without your sign-off.

Prepare

Discovery, design, and requirements — reviewed and agreed with you before a line of code is written.

Build

AI-directed development under experienced supervision, ending in a working demonstration.

Refine

Your feedback drives iteration loops, each closing with another demonstration.

Launch

Final QA, deployment, and handoff — with everything documented.

Two Ways In

For the Idea Holder

Idea-to-App

You know the problem better than anyone; I know what building the solution takes. We start with a confidential conversation under NDA, I explain feasibility and cost in plain language, and if we proceed, your app is built module by module — with a demonstration at every checkpoint. Your idea stays yours, at every step.

For the Almost-Finished

AI Project Rescue

You built most of it yourself with AI tools — and it almost works. I finish the part the tools don't tell you about: authentication, security, data integrity, deployment, and production hardening. No judgment about how it was built; just the discipline to make it dependable.

You Own What You Pay For. From Day One.

Ownership is not something handed over at the end of a project. It is how the project is structured from the start — in accounts, repositories, and records that carry your name, not mine.

Transparency

Progress You Can Verify

Reporting cadence is defined with you at the outset — by milestone or by time interval, your choice. Each report includes the work completed, progress against the roadmap, meeting notes, and exactly what was committed to the repository. Not a summary you take on faith; a record you can inspect.

Your Cloud

Accounts Built in Your Name

For AWS and Azure solutions, your code, applications, and components live in a dedicated account established for you — separate from mine and from every other client. At handoff, the account transfers to you cleanly: no untangling, no migration project, no dependency on me.

Your Code

A Repository You Control

Your source code lives in a Git account created to be yours. Every commit lands there from day one, and at handoff you take full control of it — the complete history, documentation, and deployment details included.

No Forced Retainers. No Lock-In.

Software support here never requires a 12-month contract. Buy a module, use it at your pace, and come back when you need more. Every hour is accounted for, every deliverable is demonstrated, and the code is yours — source, documentation, and all — from the day it ships.

Most of my clients have been with me for years. That loyalty is earned by the work, not written into a contract.

Tell Me What You Want to Build.

A confidential conversation, a plain-language assessment, and a written scope with a fixed price. No obligation.
