How it works

From hello to shipped, in three steps.

This is how a Build engagement runs. Advise engagements look different. We'll figure out the right rhythm together.

1

Discovery call

30 minutes. You walk us through the problem. We ask questions.

2

Scoped proposal

Fixed or capped price, deliverables, timeline. No surprises.

3

We build

Iterative weekly check-ins. You see progress every Friday.

AI-native

Two senses, both load-bearing.

The shop is shaped by AI in how we build, and the products we ship have AI built into them.

We use AI to build

Claude Code, agents, and AI-driven workflows are part of how we work. A small team that ships like a bigger one.

We build AI into software

RAG, embeddings, agents, and LLM-backed workflows in production. Not as buzzwords. As features that have to work.

Built on

A focused, battle-tested stack we know cold.

Stop Burning Tokens. Start Allocating Them.

Token prices keep falling, but the meter that actually stops you is the window. A field guide to treating AI capacity like a budget you allocate.

I Built a Video Game. The Domain Wasn't the Constraint.

Domain expertise used to be the moat. It isn't anymore. The three skills that replaced it, tested against a domain I had never worked in.

How to Tell If You're Using AI Well

Volume metrics lie about AI-assisted work. The signal isn't in the code, it's in whether you did the thinking before the code got written.
