Paid collaboration / North American AI startups

Bring me the AI workflow that is too important to stay fragile.

I work with early AI teams on agent workflows, developer tools, internal copilots, technical documentation, memory, validation, and product surfaces that need to become reliable enough for real users.

Engagement formats

Three practical ways to start.

01 / Design partner sprint

Make one AI workflow reliable enough to ship.

Two weeks

Agent tooling, internal copilots, devtool UX, technical docs, memory, evals, workflow automation

A working module, product surface, or documentation workflow with constraints, examples, quality checks, and handoff notes.

02 / Founding engineer trial

Work together before making a full-time or founder-level decision.

Four to six weeks

Early AI teams that need product-minded engineering across ambiguity, UX, implementation, and launch

A concrete product milestone plus enough operating evidence for both sides to evaluate deeper fit.

03 / Developer-facing proof sprint

Turn an invisible technical capability into a public artifact buyers can understand.

One to two weeks

Launch docs, repo positioning, demos, diagrams, founder updates, technical onboarding, OSS packaging

A founder-ready narrative layer: case study, diagrams, README structure, examples, and a stronger public technical surface.

Fit signals

This works best when the problem is already painful.

I am a better fit when the team has a concrete workflow bottleneck, a product surface that users need to trust, or a developer-facing capability that needs to become legible outside the founding team.

You are building an AI-native product where workflow reliability matters more than a flashy demo.

You need someone who can cross product framing, implementation, validation, docs, and launch packaging.

Your team is early enough that one strong builder can still change the shape of the product surface.

You want to start with a scoped paid sprint before discussing employment or cofounder-level work.

What to send first

A useful first message is specific.

What workflow is currently too fragile, manual, or hard to explain?

Who needs to trust or adopt it: developers, operators, customers, investors, or internal teams?

What would count as a useful shipped artifact within two weeks?

What existing code, docs, diagrams, prompts, or workflows should I inspect first?
