For teams whose AI build hit the wall

Your prototype works in the demo. I make it work in production.

You (or your team) built something with AI. Now it needs to be real: secure, scalable, and maintainable. I'm a senior engineer with 10+ years shipping production software, and I turn AI-built systems into something that drives revenue instead of breaking under load.

Does this sound familiar?

Your AI prototype nails the demo but falls over with real users.
It's in production and flaky, and nobody's sure why.
You can't add the next feature without the whole thing breaking.
The AI-built codebase is a mess no one can maintain.
Something leaked, or you can't tell whether it's secure.
You have a real team and real workflows, and want them faster, not replaced.

If a few of these hit home, we should talk. If none do, you're probably not at this stage yet, and that's completely fine.

AI should empower people, not replace them.

I make your experts faster and your product real. I don't help teams replace the people who run the business, and I won't take that engagement.

How we work together

Three steps, priced up front. No hourly games, no open-ended retainers.

Step 01

Discovery

$2,500
// credited toward your build

1 to 2 weeks. I dig into your problem, your workflows, and your code, then hand you a written build plan and a fixed quote. Low risk, high clarity. You keep the plan either way.

Step 02

I build it

from $12,000/project
// fixed scope & fixed price, ~3 to 8 weeks

For teams who want it done. One defined project, quoted after discovery: production-ready, tested, documented, and yours. Milestone-based, no hourly.

What you getA working system in production, the code and docs to own it, and evals so you can trust it.
Step 03

Ongoing & enablement

from $6,000/mo
// optional, flat monthly

Two ways to keep going, both outcome-scoped:

Continued build.I keep shipping the roadmap after the first project lands.
Enable your team.Have your own developers? I set the rails (architecture, guardrails, evals, checkpoint reviews) so they ship safely with AI, instead of getting replaced by it.

What hitting the wall looks like

Demo works, production doesn’t
Re-architect for real load
I rebuild your AI prototype to handle real users, with evals and monitoring so you can trust it.
Desde $12,000
Codebase nobody can maintain
Refactor into something safe to build on
I turn the AI-generated mess into a clean foundation your team can extend without fear.
Desde $15,000
Not sure it’s secure
Production hardening pass
Auth, data handling, secrets, and a security review before it costs you.
Desde $9,000
Your team wants to build it
Guardrails, evals & checkpoints
I set the rails and review the work so your people ship safely with AI.
From $6,000/mo

The rhythm

01
~1 to 2 weeks

Discovery

We scope the real problem and I hand you a build plan plus a fixed quote. Paid, bounded, and yours to keep.

02
~3 to 8 weeks

I build it

A fixed-scope project, built to production standard: tested, documented, and yours. Or, if you have a team, I put them on rails instead.

03
Optional, ongoing

Ship and continue

It goes live. If you want continued work or ongoing review, that becomes a flat monthly retainer.

Are we a fit?

We're a fit if you

  • Have defined workflows and people who know the business
  • Are past the toy stage, with real usage and real stakes
  • Want your domain experts faster and more effective
  • Can invest in doing it right, once

We're not a fit if you

  • Want to replace your team or experts with AI agents
  • Have no workflows or process to build on yet
  • Want someone to thrash idea-to-idea with no scope
  • Aren't ready to invest in production quality

Questions

Why not just keep vibe-coding it myself?

You can, right up until it breaks in production, leaks data, or nobody can add the next feature. I come in at that wall, and I can also put your team on rails so the next build doesn't hit it.

Why is the discovery paid?

Because it’s real work: I dig into your code and workflows and produce a build plan you own. A paid, bounded first step protects us both and means we skip the endless free "scoping" that goes nowhere.

Do you replace my developers?

No, the opposite. If you have a team, the enablement track exists specifically so they ship with AI safely, on rails I set. I make your people more effective, I don’t make them redundant.

How much of your time do I get?

Enough to move the needle, because I only take two clients at a time. Exact cadence and response times get scoped in the discovery and written into the agreement, so you know what to expect before you commit.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do, completely. Everything I build or spec is yours.

Where are you based?

México, on US business hours, native English, with US work experience. Full real-time overlap.

Ready to make it real?

Start with a discovery. Low risk, and you keep the plan. Tell me what you're dealing with and I'll come back within a day.
