For founders, ops leaders and product teams

Most AI pilots never ship.Let’s build the exception.

I turn complex real-life problems into AI software people can use. One owner from the first conversation to the screen your team runs on.

PRESISI, the national police super app

For Indonesia’s national police and the public they serve

A brief to fold 100+ apps into one had stalled because vendors would not hand over control. They got an empty super app to join instead.

Anyone describes an app. It gets built.

For Founders, village teams and students with no engineers

Started it myself, then led the team. A builder that speaks business, not engineering, and a bet on first use: the strongest model for every free user, not the cheapest.

Who this is for

The most painful thing, and the most useful thing I have for it.

Illustration: a founder sketching a product at a whiteboard

For founders looking for a builder who gets it.

The painful part

You have the taste and the vision. You spend your days translating it into tickets, chasing technical detail, and re-explaining what you meant.

What I bring

A force multiplier who already speaks founder. I take the vision, make the product calls with you, and ship it, so you stop managing the technical detail.

Illustration: an operations leader in front of a dispatch wall that resolves into one screen

For ops leaders looking for software the floor will actually use.

The painful part

The operation runs on spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Nobody knows which file is current, one question means checking five places, and the last tool got worked around.

What I bring

Ops software that survives contact with the floor. I have shipped it to 15 million downloads and hundreds of thousands of operators, and I know why tools get worked around.

Illustration: a small product team reviewing a working app together

For product teams looking for the part between demo and daily use.

The painful part

95% of enterprise AI pilots deliver no measurable P&L impact, and most shipped features go unused. The demo worked; production did not.

What I bring

AI inside your rules, first-use quality, and a review loop with the people who will actually use it, until it holds up on a Monday.

I’ve been the founder. I’ve run the ops. I still write the code.

Still writing code every week.

Two ways in

A problem to solve, or a seat to fill.

A problem to solve

Bring me the problem.

Scoped paid trial. Weekly slices. Stop any time.

How a project runs

A seat to fill

Or hire me as the engineer.

Senior product engineer or forward-deployed engineer. Contract or full-time, US hours. A paid trial week is the interview.

What the first week looks like

How it works

Three steps. You decide after each one.

The full process

  1. Tell me the problem

    Thirty minutes. Bring the last time it went wrong, or the role you need filled.

  2. We scope a paid trial

    The outcome, the price and who signs off, written down first. Easy to stop.

  3. Working software every week

    Real slices on your real workflow. You decide what comes next.
