Manual coding,you had a good run, buddy.
// what you actually get
Our agents, humbled, to be on your shoulders. Inspired By Frustration — a one-operator shop shipping production backends, typed APIs, MCP servers, AI agents and full-stack web apps. Twelve years of engineering taste, AI-accelerated delivery, and a refusal to ship the kind of software that made you hate software in the first place.
// stack · what I actually reach for
One brain, top to bottom.
Six layers, no handoffs. Swap any item for the one your team already runs — the shape of the work doesn't change.

[ 01 / services ]
Hire the operator,
not the agency.
// no PMs. no decks.
direct line to the person writing the code.
Backends & APIs
Typed end-to-end. Postgres, Hono/tRPC, queues, billing, auth. Built so the next engineer thanks you, not curses you.
MCP Servers
Model Context Protocol servers your agents can actually trust. Tools, resources, OAuth, rate limits, OpenTelemetry traces.
AI Agents
Production agents that don't hallucinate themselves into a corner. Evals, guardrails, fallbacks, cost ceilings, replay.
AI-Accelerated Builds
Full products in 2–6 weeks. Lovable + Cursor + 12 years of taste. Frontend only when the brief forces it.
[ 02 / how it ships ]
99 PRs.
20 hours.
Zero drama.
A swarm of 6–10 agents, one senior operator. Every PR is typed, scoped, evaluated and runbook-backed before it touches prod. You watch the feed. You ship by Friday.
[ 03 / selected work ]
Things that shipped.
[ 04 / how it goes ]
The dance,
described honestly.
// four moves. no choreographer. usually fun.
Every good piece of software I've ever shipped started as someone being annoyed enough to fix it properly.
- 1You email me. I reply. We're on a call within four hours if you're on fire — otherwise inside the day. No discovery deck, no junior account manager, no procurement ballet shaped like a Gantt chart.
- 2You'll say you need it yesterday. I'll say that's physically impossible. Then I'll quietly over-deliver on day three and pretend it was hard. You know how it goes.
- 3v0.1 in hours — depending on contracts and how fast your legal team drinks coffee. A serious demo / prototype in days. Then, depending on size, weeks to live. We agree on the goal, the style, a rough sketch — then the spine underneath it (API, data model, deploy path). Vibes and load-bearing parts. In that order.
- 4It ships. To production, not "staging we forgot about." With evals, monitoring, docs, and a handover so embarrassingly thorough your next engineer will side-eye the invoice and whisper "…did we over-pay?" (You didn't.)
[ 05 / contact ]
Tell me what's broken.
One brief, one operator, one ship. I take 1–2 builds per month. Replies within 24h on weekdays — usually with three concrete questions and a price band.
