The Founder Problem

Most founders waste months building the wrong thing.

The typical MVP cycle looks like this: a dev agency quotes 6 months, you negotiate down to 4, the project runs over, and you launch something that needs to be rebuilt before it can scale. AI changes that equation, but only if the builder knows how to use it.

I use AI agents, agentic workflows, and modern tooling to collapse the build cycle without cutting corners on architecture. You get a working product, not a prototype that breaks under real traffic.

What AI-Augmented Means

Not vibe coding. Structured AI-accelerated delivery.

AI-augmented development is not prompting an LLM and shipping whatever it outputs. It means:

  • Using AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, custom AI agents) to accelerate repetitive work: boilerplate, tests, API wiring, migrations.
  • Applying agentic workflows to tasks that would otherwise require a full team: documentation generation, code review, QA scripts.
  • Shipping a codebase you can actually hand off, extend, or raise investment on.

The result is a faster build with production-quality code. Not a throwaway prototype.

How It Works

From scoped idea to launched product.

Week 1

Discovery and Scoping

We define what the MVP actually needs to do. Not a wish list. A tight scope with a clear launch target.

Deliverables

  • Technical spec
  • Architecture decision
  • Stack recommendation
  • Week-by-week build plan
Weeks 2-4

Core Build

Auth, data model, core feature loop, API layer. Built with AI tooling to move fast without accruing debt.

Deliverables

  • Working auth system
  • Core feature implementation
  • Database schema
  • API endpoints
Week 5

Integration and Hardening

Third-party integrations, error handling, basic observability, and a test pass before real users touch it.

Deliverables

  • Payments or key integrations (if scoped)
  • Error monitoring
  • Test coverage on critical paths
Week 6

Launch and Handoff

Production deployment, DNS, monitoring, and a handoff you can actually use.

Deliverables

  • Live deployment
  • Monitoring dashboard
  • Documentation
  • 30-day post-launch support window

Scope and Investment

Three scopes. Honest price anchors.

From $100,000
8-12 weeks
  • Everything in AI-Integrated MVP
  • Multi-tenant data isolation
  • Advanced AI workflows and agent orchestration
  • Third-party integrations beyond payments
  • Security review and compliance prep
  • White-label configuration

Why Not an Agency?

You get one builder who ships, not a team that manages.

Agencies add overhead: account managers, project managers, handoff between designers and developers. That overhead costs money and time.

I work directly with you. One point of contact. One builder who understands the full stack, AI tooling, and your product goal. That is the reason the timeline is shorter and the price is lower than a comparable agency engagement.

If you need a team of 10 and a 12-month roadmap, I am not the right fit. If you need a founder-grade engineer who can ship a working AI product in weeks, book a call.
