I take on 1-2 focused projects per month

I turn loosely defined business problems into working tools in 2-4 weeks

A good fit when off-the-shelf services do not cover the use case, the requirements are not yet formalized, the data is scattered, and the business needs a working tool.

I use Python/FastAPI, APIs, LLMs, scraping, databases, simple interfaces, reports, notifications, and integrations.

The output is not a presentation or a consulting session, but the first working version.

When to get in touch.

Most projects I take on start in one of two situations: there is an idea, but it is not clear how to build the first working version quickly; or a prototype already exists and needs to be turned into a tool that can be launched, shown and maintained.

01

You have a product idea, but no technical partner

You need to quickly understand what can realistically be built, where the risks are, what it may cost, and which first version makes sense.

02

Research or data collection is done manually

Teams manually compile databases, shortlists, reports, monitoring data, or information from different sources.

03

Off-the-shelf SaaS does not cover the use case

There are services, spreadsheets and APIs, but the process needs a small custom tool built around it.

04

You need an MVP, or an existing prototype needs to be prepared for launch

You need to validate a hypothesis quickly and show the first version to users or investors. Or you already have an AI/vibe-coded prototype that sort of works, but needs review, stabilization, logs, permissions, deployment or preparation for real users.

05

Data is scattered across systems

APIs, spreadsheets, portals, files, messaging apps, external sources and databases exist separately and do not add up to one clear picture.

06

You want to apply AI pragmatically

AI can be useful in a specific function: research, classification, drafts, knowledge-base search, data processing, or reporting. Important actions remain under human control.

What we can build in the first sprint.

Not “automate everything” and not a large turnkey product. In the first sprint, we choose one useful first version: an MVP, a working tool, or a module that can be launched, shown, tested and developed further.

01 MVP

MVP for a new digital product

The first product slice: user flow, backend, basic interface, roles, data, APIs, and an admin panel if needed. So you can show a working first version, not a presentation.

Working Tool Sprint.

A focused sprint that turns a loosely defined task into a working tool. One clear outcome, a scoped first version, and 2-4 weeks from the first discovery session to handoff of the working version.

01

Task analysis

I clarify what the business needs, where the real value is, and what can be left out of the first version.

02

Scoping the first version

I cut out the unnecessary and lock the scope of the first version so the project does not expand uncontrollably.

03

Technical blueprint

I define data, APIs, roles, flows, constraints, errors, logs and notifications - so it is clear what we are building and how it will work.

04

Tool implementation

Python/FastAPI, APIs, LLMs, scraping, database, simple interface, messaging/email notifications - depending on the task.

05

Handoff

Instructions, demo, stabilization and a plan for the next stage - so the tool is used, not left on the shelf.

Three scenarios where the sprint makes sense.

These are not client case studies, but examples of situations where the Working Tool Sprint format is useful: there is a task, there is uncertainty, and a working result is needed without hiring a full development team.

Scenario · 01 example situation

MVP for an idea without hiring a team

Before

There is an idea for a service, product or internal tool, but it is unclear how to validate it quickly with users, partners or investors.

What we build

The first working version: backend, simple interface, core logic, roles, data, APIs and an admin panel if needed.

Outcome

Not a presentation and not a mockup, but a working prototype or MVP that can be shown, tested, and used to decide whether to develop further.

Scenario · 02 example situation

Recurring B2B research tool

Before

The team manually searches for companies, partners, suppliers, candidates or market signals. Data is collected from different sources, selection criteria live in people’s heads, and updating the database takes hours.

What we build

A tool that scans sources, normalizes data, filters it using rules and an LLM, builds a shortlist and sends a recurring report.

Outcome

An updatable database, clear selection criteria, less manual research and a recurring report for decision-making.

Scenario · 03 example situation

Operational tool instead of spreadsheets and chat

Before

The process lives in spreadsheets, chats, manual handoffs and informal agreements. It is unclear who is responsible, what is done, where things are blocked and what needs attention.

What we build

A working interface with statuses, owners, notifications, an activity log, a report and control points.

Outcome

Less manual work, clearer ownership, visible process status and easier handoff to the team.

Four ways to work together.

We usually start with a short technical assessment; then move into a sprint or a larger phase. Support is for tools that are already running, not as an abstract subscription.

Engagement · 01

Technical assessment

For an idea or task where you need to understand feasibility, risks, the first-version scope and a budget range before development. The output is a short assessment and a recommended next step.

Timeline1-3 days
Budgetfrom $500
Engagement · 02 Main format

Working Tool Sprint

For tasks where the first working version can be built in 2-4 weeks: MVP, internal tool, AI automation, portal, integration or dashboard.

Timeline2-4 weeks
Budget$3,000-$9,000
Engagement · 03

Larger development phase

For projects where the MVP or first release does not fit into one sprint. Work is split into phases with a clear outcome, timeline, budget and definition of done.

Timelinefrom 1 month
Budgetfrom $10,000
Engagement · 04

Support and development

For tools that are already running: monitoring, troubleshooting, small improvements, consultation and development without losing context. New modules, major features, new integrations and business-logic changes are estimated separately.

About

A technical partner, not just an implementer.

I work at the intersection of engineering, product and project management. My strength is quickly understanding a task without a ready-made specification, defining the first useful version and delivering it as a working tool that can be used.

I personally lead every project: the first conversation, diagnostics, first-version scope, technical design and quality control of the build. Communication is direct with me, without an extra management layer. I take a limited number of projects at the same time.

  • ▸12+ years in IT, development and project management: from startups and small client teams to large enterprise projects
  • ▸Hands-on CTO / Tech Lead - I combine development, technical decision-making and delivery management
  • ▸Python, FastAPI, APIs, LLMs, backend, scraping, integrations
  • ▸Fast prototypes, MVPs and technical assessment of business ideas
  • ▸Experience managing development, contractors and teams
  • ▸Large corporate projects and my own small teams
  • ▸I personally lead diagnostics, first-version scope and outcome control

How I keep the project focused.

For the sprint to produce a working result, I define the first-version boundaries in advance: what we build, why, on which data, who will use it and what counts as done.

01

I do not start with “automating the whole business” - first we define one useful result.

02

I do not take on tasks without an owner on the client side, access to source data and a clear definition of done.

03

I do not promise sales growth if the problem is in the product, marketing or team execution.

04

I use AI in controlled scenarios: search, analysis, classification, drafts and reports. Actions with serious consequences are designed with rules, logs and human confirmation.

05

If a task requires specialized expertise inside a particular system or in design, a dedicated specialist is brought in; my zone is MVPs, backend, APIs, data, LLMs, integrations and the working tool.

06

I do not work with gambling, deceptive financial offers, fraudulent schemes or projects where the goal is to mislead users.

How the process works.

We do not start with a large build. First we understand the task, ask questions, define the first version and only then build the tool.

Step 01

You describe the task

What you want to get, what is currently done manually, and which data, systems or sources already exist.

Step 02

Introductory call

We check whether the task fits my format and whether it makes sense to move into diagnostics.

Step 03

Diagnostics and questions

I clarify the process, users, constraints, data, risks, integrations and expected outcome.

Step 04

We lock in the first version

We agree what is in the sprint, what is out, the timeline, budget and definition of done.

Step 05

Build and interim demos

I build the tool, show working parts, clarify details along the way and keep the project from expanding.

Step 06

Handoff and next stage

Demo, instructions, stabilization, support or development of the next version.

Frequently asked questions.

Short, direct answers. If something is not covered here, use the form below: describe the task, current process, data and desired outcome.

I am not just completing a task list. I help you understand which first result is actually needed, scope the first version, build the working tool and hand it over for use.

This format fits when you need one responsible technical partner at the first stage, not a full development team managed by you.

Large projects without a working first version often turn into long discussions, scope creep and loss of focus. A sprint gives you the first working version in 2-4 weeks and reveals the real risks: afterwards it is easier to decide whether a larger phase is needed, what exactly to develop and what not to spend budget on.

Yes. The “Technical assessment” format is designed for this: 1-3 days, with feasibility, risks, a budget range and the first-version scope worth starting from. No obligation to continue.

An introductory call is used to understand the task, check whether it fits my format and choose the next step. I do not design the solution or prepare a specification on that call.

A technical assessment is a paid short review of feasibility, risks, first-version scope, budget range and the recommended next step. If we start a Working Tool Sprint within 14 days after the assessment, the assessment fee can be credited toward the sprint budget.

Yes. AI can be part of the tool: research, classification, drafts, knowledge-base search, data processing, reports and user-facing suggestions.

I am not selling a “magic agent” that solves everything by itself. Important actions - sending messages, changing data, financial operations, public replies or decisions with legal consequences - are designed with rules, logs and, where needed, human confirmation.

Yes, if the task is larger than one person. For larger phases, I can bring in engineers, designers or specialized experts. Technical framing, communication and outcome control remain with me.

Anything with an API, webhooks, stable export or a clear way to exchange data: websites, CRM systems, spreadsheets, databases, messaging apps, payment services, external data sources and SaaS.

If a specialized system needs customization inside that system, I can work alongside a dedicated specialist: on my side, I cover backend, APIs, data exchange, processing and the working tool.

The minimum entry point is a technical assessment from $500. Working Tool Sprint is usually in the $3,000-$9,000 range.

If the task is very small and already well described, it is often more rational to give it to a freelancer or an in-house developer. My format works better where the task needs to be clarified, the first useful version defined and brought to a working result.

Have an idea, a manual process, or a task that should become a working tool?

Describe the task, current process, data, systems, and expected output. I will reply whether it fits an assessment, a sprint, or another format - and I will say plainly if my approach is not needed here.
