Extra senior engineering when you need it
You have the vision and the first users. You don't have time to hire, onboard, and manage a senior engineer. I act as a forward deployed engineer for pre-launch startups: embedded in your stack and Slack, shipping code that moves the needle, starting this week.
No long contract. Cancel anytime. Texas-based, remote-friendly.
What I actually do
Ship the v1 production system
Move from demo/alpha to something real users can rely on.
AI features that don't break the bank
Model routing, evals, caching, and cost controls.
CI/CD, infra, and observability
So your small team can deploy with confidence.
Security and code review
Harden the things investors and customers ask about.

Bigger team, or an enterprise AI pilot that stalled? The forward deployed engineer model works for larger teams too — see forward deployed engineer as a service.
