Senior contract engineering
A senior engineer (25+ years) who runs AI in production to ship complete, production-grade systems 2–3x faster — solo, at a scope that normally needs a team.
Give me work you've already scoped and I deliver senior engineering capacity on a compressed timeline — not a prototype, a shipped product: tested, deployed, documented, in production.
The market is full of juniors with AI and seniors without it. The scarce profile is a senior engineer who has operationalized AI — who knows where it accelerates, where it lies, and how to keep quality high while moving fast. That's a 25-year engineer driving the AI, not the reverse.
The proof isn't a claim. It's a set of complete, production-grade systems I designed, built, and deployed solo — each at a scope a small team would normally own. If AI-accelerated engineering can build a working compiler and a billable SaaS, it can build your product.
Each designed, built, and deployed end-to-end by one engineer.
A production SaaS, shipped solo
The full surface of a funded startup — a four-app monorepo (web, API, worker, npm CLI), Stripe billing, GitHub App OAuth, CI/CD, and AI generation — designed, built, and deployed by one engineer.
A compiled programming language, 109K lines, solo
Three backends (LLVM native at 259x over the VM), generics, a trait system, an LSP server, and a self-hosting frontend — 378 native tests across four platforms. The strongest counter to "AI only helps with boilerplate."
A platform-scale consumer product, solo
A 69-dimension recommendation engine, a public rate-limited REST API, a published MCP server for AI agents, and a 5-tier community moderation system across 1,100+ titles — four subsystems a team would split, owned by one person.
A self-maintaining registry, near-zero ops
A daily CI pipeline recomputes a composite quality score and rebuilds the entire site with zero database and near-zero hosting cost — designed so the system does the maintenance a human normally would.
Drop me into work you've already scoped and sold. I supply the build; you keep the client relationship. Best for agencies and teams that need senior delivery hours on a compressed timeline.
A fixed-scope engagement to stand up AI-assisted development in your team and prove the speedup on real work — a low-risk way to start a relationship.
The method, written up in the open — design docs, phased delivery with verification gates, continuous review, and multi-model debugging to keep agent output correct, not just fast.
Tell me what you've got in the pipeline. If it's a fit, I can move quickly.
