Teach you to fish
You build it, I guide. You leave with the skill and the confidence to do the next one alone. This is my default and my favourite.
The person behind the pairing.
Not a founder. A product person who spent 15 years building platforms the old way, and now builds them in half a day, over a coffee, in front of you.
15 years, end-to-end, the slow way.
I built platforms by hand. Design, database, security, frontend. Every layer, one at a time, the slow honest way. It taught me how things actually fit together, and which parts you can't skip.

"15 years building platforms the old way. With AI, a website in half a day."
Fast is easy. Right is the skill.
Anyone can make AI type fast. The real skill is steering it toward the right output: the architecture, the shortcuts, the boring technical decisions that keep your project from collapsing a month later.
The question isn't if you build fast, but if you build right.
"Not if you build fast, if you build right. That's what I teach: how to steer the AI for the output that survives."
Recruitment, with less AI, more human.
In my quieter hours I work on making recruitment better, the opposite direction of most people. Less AI filtering everyone into boxes, more human signal: the small things in a hire that software can't see.
I'm always open to a chat about human signal in hiring, over that same coffee.
"Most tools filter people out. I'd rather keep the human part, fewer filters, more signal."
How I like to help.
Fish for you
Sometimes you just need your stack working without the mental load. I build it clean, hand it over, and explain what you've got.
