How we work together.
A calm, clear process built for overwhelmed founders. No black boxes. No jargon. Just a steady path forward.
We keep it simple, human-first, and adaptable. Whether you need a quick fix or a long-term partner, the rhythm remains the same.
Discovery
A gentle conversation. No pressure. I don't start with a sales pitch; I start by understanding where things feel heavy. You bring the context, I bring the listening.
Mapping the Story
I identify the tension points, the bottlenecks, and the hidden opportunities in your current setup. I visualize the mess so it stops looking scary and starts looking solvable.
The Smallest Helpful Step
I avoid big, dramatic rebuilds that take months. Instead, I define one small, sharp improvement that actually moves the needle. Clarity over chaos.
Firepower, Clarity, or Magic
We execute the plan using the right tool for the job:
- Technical Direction for strategy.
- Engineering Firepower for building.
- AI Sprinkles for automation.
Ongoing Support
Founder-friendly flexibility. No retainer pressure, no long-term contracts unless requested. I'm here when you need me, and out of your hair when you don't.
The First 7 Days
Momentum matters. Here is exactly what happens after we shake hands.
Day 1: Access
We set up the "Red Phone" (Slack/WhatsApp) and I get access to your repos and docs. The channel is open.
Day 3: The Audit
I perform a silent audit of your code/systems. No meetings, just me learning the terrain and spotting the dragons.
Day 5: The Plan
I deliver a "State of the Union" doc. A clear, jargon-free summary of where you are and a prioritized plan for Week 2.
Day 7: First Impact
Whether it's a fixed bug, a strategy decision, or an automation—we ship *something* of value in the first week.
The "No Ghosting" Promise
The worst part of hiring external help is the silence. You wonder if they're working, if they're stuck, or if they've vanished.
I work in the open. You will never have to chase me for an update.
Friday Updates
Every Friday, you get a bullet-point summary: What I did, what's blocked, and what's next.
Bad News First
If something breaks or delays, I tell you immediately—with a proposed solution. I never hide the red flags.
