Taking on new projects

You need it built.
I build it and get it live.

One person for the whole job: the app your customers use, the data behind it, and everything that keeps it running. Over ten years building software that companies depend on every day.

What you can hire me for

Every one of these, I have already built
  1. Build my product from scratch

    You have an idea. I build the whole thing and put it live: what your customers see, what runs behind it, and everything in between.

    See Sappa
  2. Add AI that actually does things

    Not a chatbot. AI that looks things up in your systems, fills in the work, and takes real actions, with clear limits on what it is allowed to touch.

    See Handi
  3. Get my data under control

    Pulling in data from lots of places, cleaning it up, removing duplicates, and making it searchable. Unglamorous work that everything else depends on.

    See Tesse
  4. Replace an old system, safely

    Rebuilding something outdated while it keeps serving customers. I did this with 221,000 lines of code and 100,000 users, with no downtime.

  5. Build tools for developers

    Software whose customers are programmers. They judge it differently, so it needs different care and much better documentation.

    See Reflex
  6. Be your senior tech person

    Part-time help with the big calls: what to build, what to buy, who to hire, how to keep it secure. For teams too early for a full-time CTO.

How we'd work together

Most projects start small

Most projects start here

01

Start with a plan

1 to 2 weeks, fixed price

A straight answer on what it takes, what it costs, and what could go wrong.

You end up withA written plan any good developer could build from, whether that is me or someone else.

02

Build it

1 to 4 months, I own it

The whole product, built and put live. Not a demo that still needs finishing.

You end up withA live product, all the code, and everything you need to keep running it without me.

03

Stay on

Monthly, a set number of days

A set number of days a month. Hard calls made, hard parts built.

You end up withSomeone who already knows your system and is there when the big decisions come up.

Every project is different, so I give you a price for yours rather than publishing a day rate. The first conversation is free, and if I think someone else is a better fit, I'll say so.

05

Open source & tools

Free tools I built, published, and still look after.

Other developers download and use these every day. Mostly for AI work, Google Workspace, and saving engineers time.

About

Most software needs a team: someone for the screens, someone for the systems behind them, someone for the servers. I do all three. That means fewer meetings, nothing lost between people, and one person who is accountable when something breaks.

The work has been varied on purpose. Making 380 million public records searchable in one place. A marketplace you book through by chatting. A 3D product viewer that runs inside a shop's website. Tools that other developers install and use every day.

Before going independent I spent over ten years inside product companies. Most recently I ran engineering at Oobit, where I led a 12-person team and replaced a huge ageing codebase without ever taking the product offline. Before that I led a team at Fireblocks, and earlier worked at Dynamic Yield and SAP.

I work from Israel and have an EU passport, so most time zones are easy to cover.
