How engagements work
One senior engineer, end to end
You work with the person scoping, building, and explaining the system — no agency handoff or junior layer.

What should AI help you do next?
Choose the outcome you need. I will route you to the relevant format, scope, and next step — not a generic sales call.
The program
From your idea to a working product, with me beside you the whole way.
You build it with your own hands, and I sit next to you the whole time: helping you scope, unblocking you when you're stuck, and stepping in where real engineering judgment is needed. By the end, the focused first version is live and completely yours.
S1Session 1 · 90 min
Validate & first build
We pressure-test your idea, keep only the features that matter, set up your AI tools, and you ship your first working screen before the session ends.
S2Session 2 · 90 min
Core feature, real data
You build the one feature your idea lives or dies on, connected to real data instead of a mockup.
S3Session 3 · 90 min
Polish & launch
We polish the rough edges, make it fast, and put it live. You leave with a link you can proudly send to anyone.
Expectations
What's realistic in 3 sessions
Realistic
- A working web product with one core feature, connected to real data
- Sign-up, forms, email notifications, payments through a hosted checkout
- A version 1.0 deployed on your own domain, ready for first users
- AI tooling set up on your accounts so you can keep building after we finish
Not in 3 sessions
- A native mobile app published in the app stores
- Deep integrations with legacy or enterprise systems
- A large product with many roles and features: that's a custom MVP engagement
- Formal security audits and production-scale load testing
Services
Already have a product? I make it smarter, faster, and less manual.
01 · AI Integration
Add AI to the product you already have
LLM features that survive production: retrieval, structured output, evals. Not a chat widget bolted on.
Good for
- SaaS teams adding their first AI feature
- Products with data an LLM could leverage
typically 2–4 weeks
Discuss the opportunity
02 · Process Automation
Turn manual workflows into pipelines
Agents and integrations that handle repeatable steps across tools, with human review where it matters.
Good for
- Teams drowning in copy-paste operations
- Back-office work: invoices, reports, intake
typically 1–3 weeks
Map this workflow
03 · Performance & Optimisation
Make your product feel instant
Profiling, Core Web Vitals, query and infra cost cuts. Everything measured before and after, no guesswork.
Good for
- Apps that got slow as they grew
- Cloud bills growing faster than revenue
typically 1–2 weeks
Discuss the bottleneck
04 · Done-for-you MVP
Or I build the first version for you
When you'd rather not build it yourself: a scoped v1, shipped fast with the same AI-assisted workflow.
Good for
- Founders with budget but no time
- Validating before hiring a team
typically 3–6 weeks
Discuss your MVPPricing
Start with the right level of commitment.

- 3 × 90-minute private sessions
- A working v1.0 you own completely
- Ongoing development retainer
Custom Services
for existing products
Customfixed price in the proposal before we start
- AI integration, process automation, performance, or a done-for-you MVP
- Written proposal with a fixed price and timeline before anything starts
- Same AI-assisted workflow, same single engineer
MVP Blueprint
delivered in a week
from €300final price in the written proposal
- A clear MVP plan: what it does, who it's for, which features make the cut
- User flow and wireframes
- Tech and AI-tooling recommendation with rough cost and timeline
- A development roadmap you can build with, with me or with anyone else
The Blueprint fee is fully deducted from the project price if I build the product after the plan. It doesn't apply to Build With Me: those are separate paths.
Why direct delivery
Why work with me
I'm a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 12 years of building web and mobile products for teams across Europe and the US. AI tools like Claude Code and Codex are part of how I ship real features: in production, for paying users, not in demos.
Whether you want an AI feature, an automated workflow, or to learn to build things yourself, you work directly with the person doing the engineering. No agency layer, no juniors.
Every engagement is shaped around your goal and your starting point, not a fixed curriculum. Building for the web, a mobile app, or a tablet experience? I work across React, React Native, and responsive web, so the platform your users are on is never a constraint.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
No, none at all. The program is built for beginners and non-technical founders. You describe what you want in plain language, the AI tools do the heavy lifting, and I step in whenever real engineering judgment is needed.
Yes, that's the done-for-you MVP service. Same workflow, I just do the building. Write me through the form and we'll decide together which path fits you best.
The Blueprint is the plan: we clarify what your product should do and for whom, and you get wireframes, a feature list, a tech recommendation, and a roadmap you can build with anyone. Build With Me is the building itself: three sessions where we create your product together. And if you'd rather have me build it, the Blueprint fee is fully deducted from a done-for-you MVP quote.
The current best-in-class coding assistants and agent tooling, set up on your own accounts so everything keeps working after our last session.
Anything repetitive with clear rules: intake, reporting, invoicing, moving data between tools, content pipelines. If your team does it weekly by hand, it can probably be automated. Describe it in the form and I'll tell you honestly.
Yes. Every session is a live 1-on-1 video call, in English or Russian, and you get the recordings afterwards.
By invoice, bank transfer. The course is a flat €650. The Blueprint starts at €300, with the final price agreed before we start. Custom work is quoted in a written proposal before anything starts.
Everything stays yours: the codebase, the tooling on your own accounts, the recordings. And if you want to keep going, we simply scope a follow-up block by email.
