100% data sovereignty. Engineered to pass enterprise security and SOC 2 audits.

01 // SOVEREIGNTY
Your boundary stays authoritative Existing systems remain the sole source of truth for records, permissions, and access.
02 // INTEGRITY
Facts before synthesis Structured data is queried directly before any local, private, or managed model summary.
03 // RESILIENCE
Lean-team ready Validation, fallback behavior, and constrained JSON outputs are part of the build.

Support & Launch Guarantees

Every build sprint includes documentation, source code ownership, and 30 days of build integrity support. If your build fails to run on the configured hardware per the setup guides, I work until it launches at zero additional cost.

Partner availability

Technical build partner for agencies.

  • Workflow layers that use AI over existing SQL, NoSQL, API, CRM, and support backends
  • Deterministic structured queries plus filtered RAG for unstructured client data
  • Quiet white-label collaboration when needed
  • Experienced full-stack implementation without full-time hiring

I can be the implementation partner for agencies and operators who need AI search, workflow software, dashboards, or internal-tool builds without hiring a full internal technical team.

DISCUSS PARTNERSHIP
How the systems are built
Integration

Connects to your real tools

The build works with your CRM, docs, email, support queue, billing system, database, or internal admin app. It can run local models, private VPC services, or approved managed endpoints without replacing core software.

Reliability

Handles messy data honestly

Models are not allowed to quietly guess. Structured records are queried deterministically; weak retrieval, missing fields, ambiguous inputs, and risky actions route to review so operational data stays intact.

Lock-in

Zero proprietary framework lock-in

Builds utilize highly popular, standard technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Docker). No custom closed-source frameworks or paid runtime dependencies are introduced.

Precision

Quantized RAG & sub-ms indexing

We structure retrieval using semantic chunking with parent-document overlap, HNSW vector database indexing for sub-millisecond database queries, and optimized quantized models (e.g. GGUF runtimes) to match hardware limits.

Cost

Designed for sane operating costs

The stack is chosen for lean teams, not for hype. Local open-weight inference can remove token margin where volume or privacy justifies the infrastructure.

Security

Private and secure deployment

Build options support private VPC deployment, strict local inference, and zero-retention API keys. No model provider is ever permitted to use your operational data for training.

Operating Cost Estimates

Estimated Monthly Infrastructure Expenses

Deployment Target Monthly Cost Hardware / Provider Setup Data Privacy Level
Air-Gapped Node Spec 02 $0 / mo Runs 100% locally on existing hardware you own (e.g. Apple Silicon Mac or GPU workstation) Absolute isolation (no data leaves the physical site)
Private VPC Instance Spec 01 / 03 $50 - $150 / mo AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, or Hetzner Cloud virtual instances High privacy (isolated runtime, no retention policy logs)
Hybrid Managed LLM Token Rates Managed LLM endpoints (e.g. OpenAI/DeepSeek) with pay-per-token direct billing Standard (secured via zero-data retention APIs)
Common buying questions
Which service should I start with?
Start with the free workflow check unless you already know the scope. It filters for whether the workflow is worth building, needs cleanup first, or should stay manual.
What if my data is messy?
That is normal. I look for usable inputs, failure cases, and review paths. If cleanup is required before a build makes sense, I will tell you before you pay.
When is custom better than SaaS or no-code?
When the workflow crosses several systems, needs business-specific rules, handles sensitive data, or requires logs, validation, and source-cited outputs. If a standard tool is enough, use it.
Will this fit our current tools?
Usually, yes. Builds can connect to CRMs, inboxes, support tools, billing systems, docs, spreadsheets, databases, Slack, and existing internal dashboards.
Who owns the code and handoff?
After full payment, you own the custom deliverables. Handoff includes setup notes, environment requirements, source code, and a maintenance path.
Is my data used to train an LLM?
No generic model-training use is assumed. Provider choices, access rules, retention, and data flow are defined before implementation.
What will this cost to run?
You see expected hosting, model, storage, and API costs before build. Most first systems cost far less to operate than the manual time they replace.
What happens after launch?
Build sprints include 30 days of support for defects in the original implementation, plus handoff notes and a clear path for monitoring or future improvements.
Are builds designed to pass SOC 2 and HIPAA security audits?
Yes. By using isolated VPC runtimes, local open-weight inference (zero outbound network egress), and strict encryption-at-rest protocols, our architectures are built to comply with enterprise compliance guidelines. I work directly with your security officers during handoff. Request our Security & Compliance Briefing package (includes system architecture diagrams, compliance checklist, and a pre-signed Mutual NDA template) to accelerate CISO approval.
Request Security Brief
What are your payment terms?
Sprints are structured to align with startup cashflow: **50% upfront to reserve the sprint slot, and 50% upon successful staging launch** (underpinned by our 100% Launch Guarantee). We accept credit cards and ACH for seamless billing.
How does vendor qualification and onboarding work?
We contract through a registered LLC using a standard Professional Services Agreement. We provide W-9 compliance, standard corporate invoicing, and can secure contract-specific General Liability or Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance coverage if required by your procurement guidelines.

If it is not worth building, I will tell you.

Submit a quick manual flow for an async fit-check. You will receive an honest verdict on whether automation pays off, private local AI is justified, or if you should stay manual.

START FREE FIT-CHECK
Delivery standards
Usable handoff
You receive source code, setup notes, environment requirements, and a plain-English explanation of how the system works.
Failure paths
The system should reject uncertain cases, log errors, and route exceptions to a human instead of pretending every AI answer or automated action is safe.
Real deployment
Builds are deployed on common infrastructure your team can access, monitor, and maintain after the sprint.
Cost visibility
Hosting, model, database, and API costs are estimated before implementation so you are not surprised after launch.
Verification
Search and RAG outputs cite sources where retrieval is used, and workflow systems include enough logging to inspect what happened.
License purity
Delivered code is guaranteed to use permissive, commercially safe open-source licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0). Copyleft GPL contamination is strictly prevented.
Secrets safety
Credentials and API keys are never hardcoded or committed to git. We manage keys via encrypted environments (Doppler or cloud secrets services).
