Frequently Asked Questions

I build enterprise software across six disciplines: AI agent engineering, frontend development, backend development, cloud architecture and DevOps (AWS, GCP, Azure), mobile app development (React Native), and security/DevSecOps. That covers AI-powered platforms, custom business software, and immersive 3D web experiences, all designed and built by me directly.

AI agent engineering is designing software around autonomous AI systems that plan, decide, and act, instead of wrapping a chat API and calling it done. I build custom agent architectures with fine-tuned LLMs, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, tool-use capabilities, and workflow logic wired directly into your product. My own crew of agents runs my business, and ST3ADY, the assistant in this site's console, is the public example.

A focused MVP typically takes 8-12 weeks. A larger platform runs 3-6 months. I work in two-week cycles with a demo at the end of each one, so you see real progress constantly. If your timeline is urgent, tell me up front and I'll tell you honestly whether I can hit it.

Both. For startups, I build MVPs that can scale and survive technical due diligence. For enterprises, I build systems that integrate with existing infrastructure and meet compliance and documentation requirements. The constant is the model: one senior engineer plus a crew of AI agents, which keeps communication direct and output fast at any company size.

My core stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL. For AI work I use LangChain, OpenAI, TensorFlow, and custom LLM fine-tuning. I'm certified across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, and I deploy with Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless where each fits. For immersive experiences, Three.js, WebGL, and GSAP.

You talk to the engineer building your product, because that's me and there is nobody in between. I work async-first: Slack for daily communication, Notion for documentation and roadmaps, GitHub for code reviews. I do a weekly check-in and a demo at every milestone, so you always know where things stand.

Three models, matched to the work: fixed-price for well-defined scopes, monthly retainers for ongoing development, and Dedicated Engagements for long-term build-outs. Every engagement starts with a discovery phase so I understand your requirements before I put a proposal with scope, timeline, and investment in front of you.

Yes. I offer maintenance packages covering bug fixes, security updates, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements. I can also train your internal team to take over when you're ready. I build systems meant to outlive my involvement, but I'll stay as long as you need me.

Yes, and it's some of my most common work. I retrofit AI capabilities into legacy systems: intelligent search, automated content generation, predictive analytics, and conversational interfaces for existing web and mobile apps. The integrations are designed to fit your current architecture, not force a rewrite.

Reach out through the contact form or the AI terminal on this page. I'll set up a discovery call to understand what you're building, what constraints you're working under, and what success looks like. Then you get a written proposal with scope, timeline, and investment. Once you approve it, I start building.
