AI-Assisted Engineering
I work hands-on with every major provider and model, and match each one to the job: frontier models for hard reasoning and agentic coding, open-source models sized to the task for speed and cost, and self-hosted setups when data has to stay in the house.
Hard reasoning, architecture, and agentic coding.
Matched to task size for the best speed and cost.
Private, owned, always-on automation.
Start small. Get something working.
I like to begin with a focused proof of concept. We agree the scope and budget up front, and I build something you can try with your team. It gives you a feel for the direction and for working together before deciding on a larger engagement.
Once the direction is clear, I break the work into manageable milestones. Each has a defined scope, a concrete result, and a review point. Your feedback shapes what comes next, and new ideas are agreed separately.
I keep updates concise and organize progress, feedback, and decisions by topic. A shared project overview shows what's done, what's next, and where I need your input. If priorities change, we discuss the effect on scope, budget, and timing before moving ahead.
