AI Architecture Sprint
from $2K
A fixed-scope sprint to validate, architect, and cost your AI build — a plan you own either way.
- Stack + data audit
- System architecture diagram
- Model + cost recommendation
- Costed build roadmap
Services
Four engagement shapes, from a $2k architecture sprint to a fractional AI lead embedded with your team.
A decade of shipped work for
Proof-of-Value Build
Most popular$8K – $20K
Your first production AI workflow — agent, RAG layer, or automation — shipped and proving value in weeks.
- Fixed scope, fixed price
- Live staging from day 3
- Evals + observability built in
- 30 days of post-launch support
Production Build
$25K+
A full production system: multi-step agents, guardrails, and the monitoring and infrastructure around them.
- Multi-workflow agents + guardrails
- Human-in-the-loop design
- Monitoring + eval dashboards
- Team handover + runbook
Fractional AI Lead
$5K+/month
Embedded AI leadership for teams shipping AI as a core surface. Strategy, hiring, and hands-on building.
- Architecture + roadmap ownership
- Hire-with-you support
- Direct IC contributions
- Min. 3-month engagement
Process
How I ship in two-week blocks.
A working vertical slice in the first two-week block. The production timeline depends on scope and integrations.
01
Discover
I learn your stack, your customers, and the real problem behind the AI ask.
02
Design
Architecture diagram, data plan, prompts, evals — written down before code.
03
Build
Two-week blocks. Live staging from day 3 so you can poke at it as it grows.
04
Ship
Production deploy, handover doc, eval dashboard, and 30 days of post-launch support.
Client words
I had a website project and it was handled very gracefully. I'm happy with the work and will be doing more jobs with him. Thank you!

Questions & Answers
Something else on your mind? Ask me directly — I reply within a working day.
Ask me directly- Closer to a consultancy that codes. I architect the system, prototype the riskiest pieces, and either ship the v1 myself or hand it to a team I trust.
- Yes — happy to sign yours, or send a one-pager. I keep client work confidential by default.
- Anthropic Claude is my default for reasoning. OpenAI for image + voice. Local Llama via Ollama for cost-sensitive workloads. Vendor choice is part of the audit.
- Fixed scope, fixed price, paid in two milestones. The architecture sprint de-risks the estimate so the build phase rarely surprises either of us.
- Always preferred. I can sit alongside in-house engineers as a fractional lead, or own a workstream end-to-end.
- You do. Everything I build is yours: clean, documented, and handed over so you or any developer can extend it.
- Yes — half-day team workshops on prompt engineering, evals, and shipping AI safely. Usually bundled with a retainer.
