Designed to continue as a monthly retainer.
A build is where we start — the retainer is where the value compounds. Every month I keep your systems healthy, ship one new automation, and send a proof report showing exactly what it recovered. You own everything; I run it.
Post-launch upkeep for one shipped system — kept alive, patched, and watched, without a full retainer.
One live AI system, monitored and kept healthy — with a monthly proof report.
Everything in Starter, plus a steady stream of new automation — your systems keep getting better.
The whole operation, actively expanded — for teams running several systems on me.
Ongoing access to me across your whole stack — AI features, automations, data pipelines, web apps, QA. A weekly cadence, no ticket-by-ticket billing. The entire toolkit below, on tap, every week.
A fixed path. A real quote. Evidence at every step.
Audit
I map your highest-leverage failure — the AI surface, the test gap, the automation ROI — and hand you a prioritized plan and a concrete quote you own.
Sprint
One visible, production-grade improvement: real code, deployed, measured. A minimum viable gate, or a shipped workflow.
Build
The full system: the eval battery, the CI gate, the automation, the runbook, owned by your team at handoff.
Operate
Measure, improve, publish. The system stays green and compounds instead of quietly decaying.
Small fix or full build — scoped to your budget.
From a quick automation for a small shop to a full system for an AI team — you only pay for what you actually need. The fastest way to a real number is the 2-minute scoper: answer a few questions and get a custom estimate, no call required.
Three ways to start for a known number.
Most builds are scoped to your problem — but the first steps don't have to be. These three are productized: same scope, same price, every time. Start today, no call required.
I map your highest-leverage AI, QA, or automation gap and hand you a prioritized plan and a concrete quote you own.
The part almost nobody has: proof your AI feature works, and a gate that blocks the change that would break it.
The whole thing — the app or agent, the AI feature, and the eval + guardrail layer — shipped and owned by your team.

01AI Build
7 capabilities
The AI feature itself. Assistants, agents, and the retrieval underneath it.
Conversational assistant / chatbot
A support or product chatbot grounded in your own docs.
A retrieval-augmented assistant that answers from your documentation, policies, and past tickets, never the open internet. Streaming UI, source citations, and a scope guard keep it on-topic.
AI voice agent
Inbound + outbound voice that gets tasks done.
A phone agent that answers 24/7, qualifies the caller, books the job, and texts you a summary. Or makes outbound reminder and follow-up calls. Human-sounding, with a hard consent gate on outbound.
Document intake & extraction
Invoices, forms, PDFs → clean structured data.
An extraction pipeline that turns messy documents into validated structured records, schema-enforced, with confidence scoring and a human-review lane for the low-confidence cases.
Internal copilot / knowledge assistant
An AI that knows how your company works.
A private assistant wired into your wiki, code, and tickets so your team gets answers in seconds instead of pinging the one person who knows. Access-scoped and auditable.
RAG pipeline engineering
Retrieval that actually retrieves the right thing.
The unglamorous core that makes AI features trustworthy: chunking strategy, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and grounding, with retrieval-quality evals (context precision/recall, citation coverage) in front.
Multi-agent workflow / orchestration
Agents that plan, call tools, and hand off safely.
When the logic is genuinely agentic, a LangGraph-style orchestration with explicit state, tool-use boundaries, retries, and approval checkpoints. It's instrumented so you can see every step it took.
Structured-output & function-calling
Make the LLM a reliable part of your backend.
Schema-validated LLM steps with function/tool calling, fallback labels on parse failure, and raw inputs logged beside every decision. The difference between a demo and production.
02Eval & QA
7 capabilities
Proof it works: golden sets, safety batteries, and the CI gate that blocks a bad change.
LLM evaluation harness
Golden set + LLM-as-judge scoring for your feature.
50–200 real inputs with agreed-good outputs, versioned next to the code, scored by an LLM judge for faithfulness, relevance, and safety. The regression signal you don't have yet.
AI red-team & safety battery
Adversarial probes: injection, jailbreak, PII, toxicity.
A battery of adversarial runners that try to break your assistant the way a real user (or attacker) would: prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII leakage, toxicity, over-refusal, with verbatim transcripts of every failure.
CI quality gate for AI
A bad AI change blocks the merge instead of showing up in the retro.
Your eval suite wired into CI so it runs on every PR. A score below the ratcheted floor fails the build, with a scorecard your PM can actually read.
Hallucination / grounding gate
Stop it inventing facts and policies.
A grounding layer that binds answers to a source of truth and an eval that fails when the model states unverifiable specifics. The fix for "it made up a refund policy."
Prompt & model regression testing
Know exactly what the model bump broke.
A/B and before/after evaluation across prompt and model versions, so a provider update or a prompt tweak comes with a concrete diff of what improved and what regressed.
Agent evaluation
Did the agent use the right tool and finish the task?
Task-success and tool-use-correctness evals for agentic systems: did it call the right function, with the right args, and complete the job. Scored against a rubric, run repeatedly.
LLM observability & cost monitoring
See quality, drift, and spend in production.
Tracing, per-run cost tracking, and drift monitoring on your live AI feature so quality decay and runaway spend surface on a dashboard instead of in a customer complaint.
03Test Automation
8 capabilities
The deterministic surface: E2E coverage, CI wiring, flake protocol, performance baselines.
E2E test automation (Playwright)
Your critical flows, covered and green in CI.
A risk-scoped Playwright (or Cypress) suite with Page Object Model, fixtures, trace-on-retry, and four reporters. Built in your repo, so releases stop breaking in ways users find first.
API & contract testing
Catch the broken endpoint before the frontend does.
Contract and integration tests for your APIs: schema validation, auth paths, error cases, and backwards-compatibility checks wired into CI.
Mobile real-device certification
Ship iOS/Android with proof it actually works.
End-to-end certification on real devices. The flows a simulator lies about. I've run 256-screen device-cert passes with retry-clean flake handling.
CI/CD pipeline + test wiring
A green badge that actually means something.
GitHub Actions (or your CI) set up from scratch or rescued: parallelized runs, artifact retention, required checks, and the gates that make merge-green trustworthy.
Flaky-test stabilization
Make red mean something again.
The flake protocol installed on your existing suite: quarantine lane, retry policy, isolation fixes, and a weekly triage ritual. At HighStrike this cut a live suite from 10% flake to under 1%.
Performance & load baselines
Know your critical path's breaking point.
k6 load baselines on the flows that matter, with budgets wired into CI so a performance regression trips the gate before it trips your users.
Visual regression testing
Catch the layout break a unit test can't see.
Screenshot-based regression across breakpoints and themes, so an unintended visual change is flagged in the PR instead of in a customer screenshot.
Accessibility (a11y) audits
WCAG compliance, keyboard, contrast, reduced-motion.
Automated + manual accessibility review against WCAG 2.2: keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, contrast, and reduced-motion behavior, with a prioritized fix list.
04Automation
6 capabilities
The repetitive work, automated end-to-end and owned by your team.
Workflow automation
n8n / Make / Zapier, or code when it earns it.
The repetitive back-office flow, automated end-to-end in tools your team can own after I leave. Make/Zapier for linear flows, n8n for branching, code when the logic is genuinely complex.
Lead capture → qualify → route
Every lead caught, scored, and followed up in minutes.
An intake pipeline that captures every lead from every source, scores and routes it, and triggers follow-up within minutes. Nothing slips into a spreadsheet nobody checks.
Data pipelines / ETL
Move and shape data reliably, on a schedule.
Extract-transform-load pipelines with validation, idempotency, and alerting, so the report your business runs on is built on data that's actually correct and fresh.
Integrations (CRM, tools, APIs)
Make your tools finally talk to each other.
Connect the CRM, the billing system, the support desk, and the spreadsheet into one flow with proper error handling and an audit trail. No more copy-paste between tabs.
Monitoring / scraping / alerting
Watch a source, act when something changes.
Scheduled monitoring of a website, feed, or metric with structured extraction and alerting, so you hear about the change that matters the moment it happens.
Scheduled jobs & back-office automation
The recurring task nobody wants to remember.
Cron-driven jobs for the invoicing, reporting, cleanup, and reconciliation work that eats your week: reliable, logged, alert-on-failure.
05Product
4 capabilities
The application layer everything else runs inside: apps, tools, APIs, dashboards.
Web apps & customer portals
Auth, payments, dashboards, production-grade.
The real thing: authentication, payments, dashboards, and the boring-but-critical parts done right, on Next.js + Supabase or your stack.
Internal tools / admin panels
Replace the spreadsheet your team runs by hand.
The admin panel, ops dashboard, or back-office tool your team currently operates in a fragile spreadsheet, built properly, with the right permissions and audit trail.
APIs & backends
The service layer everything else depends on.
REST or typed APIs with validation, auth, rate limiting, and tests. The dependable backend your app, your integrations, your automations all build on.
Dashboards & data visualization
Turn your raw data into a decision you can act on.
Institutional-grade dashboards and visualizations treated as part of the design system. The metric your team argues about, made legible and live.
06Brand, Content & Growth
7 capabilities
Brand, content, and lead-gen — built the way an automation engineer builds: as systems and pipelines, not one-off gigs.
Brand & design system
A real design system, not just a logo.
Design tokens, a component library, and a typography + motion language — the same system discipline behind this site and the products I run. Built so your team ships on-brand without a designer in the loop for every asset.
Content engine (YouTube / social)
A repeatable content machine, not one-off posts.
Research → script → thumbnail → publish, wired as a pipeline. The system that turns your expertise into a consistent publishing cadence — the AI does the heavy lifting, you approve the output. The same machine I run for my own channels.
AI video & motion pipeline
Explainers and reels, generated on a pipeline.
Code-native motion plus AI voice (your cloned voice or a pro VO) that turns a script — or a URL — into a finished explainer or promo. The exact pipeline behind the videos on this site. Batch-render a slate, not a one-off.
Short-form / reels at scale
Educational short-form, templated and batched.
A reusable reel template plus a content catalog, so you produce dozens of on-brand vertical videos from one system instead of editing each by hand.
Lead-generation funnel
Capture → qualify → route → nurture, automated.
The full inbound machine: a scoping/qualification flow, lead capture wired to your CRM, and a gentle nurture sequence — the same funnel discipline running on this site. Every lead caught, scored, and followed up in minutes.
Outbound & 1:1 video outreach
Personalized outreach that actually gets replies.
Per-prospect landing pages plus a 1:1 video-outreach workflow — the highest-reply tactic there is — semi-automated so you send at volume without the copy-paste, built on real prospect research rather than spray-and-pray.
Thumbnail & creative systems
A thumbnail engine, not a Canva tab.
A manifest-driven system that generates on-brand thumbnails and creative at scale from a template plus data — so every video and post looks intentional without a designer per asset.
Deeper on the work — with the receipts.
Plain-English guides to the exact problems I get hired for. Each one links to the real proof, not claims.
Who to bring in before an AI feature embarrasses you — and how to spot a resold shop.
Read →Golden sets, LLM-as-judge, and the CI gate that blocks bad AI changes.
Read →Citation coverage, groundedness, and abstain-on-no-evidence — from a 100%-cited build.
