I build it for you.
Or I teach you to build it.
You set the balance.
Production software and AI systems for companies that cannot afford a team and do not want an agency. Every engagement sits somewhere between "do it for me" and "show me how", and the client decides where. Thirty years of engineering, six of them running infrastructure on Wall Street.
This is what I can do for you.
Some clients want the thing built and handed over working. Some want to sit next to me and leave able to do it themselves. Most want some of each: I build the hard part, your people learn by being in the room. Same rate, same person, you choose the mix.
Built, fixed, or integrated. Working, not just delivered.
- Rapid application builds with production discipline from day one
- Data pipelines, ERP, QuickBooks and vendor-portal integration
- AI rescue: a prototype that has to become a product, or a bill nobody can explain
- Multi-agent AI on your own cloud, run by FireControl
You and your team, directing AI agents to build real software.
- One-to-one working sessions on your actual problem, not a curriculum
- Your developers keep the knowledge; I bring the production and AI-systems experience
- On-site at your desk in NYC, Jersey City, Hoboken or nearby for a flat $50 travel fee
- Need a longer runway? There is a 13-week bootcamp and group seminars on the training page
The work, in four shapes.
Rapid application builds
Laravel, PostgreSQL, Vue, or whatever your stack already is. Auth, migrations, backups and deploys from day one. An AI support layer on Fire is available as an add-on so the system keeps answering questions after I am gone.
How a build runs →Data pipelines, ERP and accounting
Data in, transform, data out. Multi-section CSVs, vendor portals, QuickBooks, ERPs I have never seen before. For a federal contractor I turned a week of reconciliation into about a minute of input.
Start with a free call →AI rescue and code audits
An AI tool built you a prototype and now it has to be a product, or a vendor's AI integration is running up a bill nobody can explain. I audit it, fix what is fixable, and say plainly what is not.
Tell me about it, free →AI agents that operate your systems
Multi-agent AI installed on a cloud you control, with the orchestration layer, secrets brokering and stop controls that FireControl provides. Available through consulting only.
About FireControl →The operations layer under everything I ship.
FireControl is the system that runs the AI agents building and operating this portfolio: project registry, inter-agent messaging, deploy gating, and a security framework with zones, roles and a hardware-key gate for root. When I install multi-agent AI on your cloud, this is what runs it. It is not sold as a product. It comes with the engagement, configured for you, and your people are trained on it as part of the work.
- Every agent action logged to an append-only ledger
- Your credentials never pass through a model
- A signed emergency stop you control
Small first step. Real result. Then decide.
