Bring the idea. I'll bring the build.

I'm opening up as a build partner for non-technical founders: you bring the domain and the decisions, I bring product leadership and an agent fleet that ships.

Every few weeks someone smart tells me the same story. They know their industry deeply — accounting, law, logistics, a trade I’d never think about. They can describe the product their market needs in painful detail, because they live the problem every day. And then the story ends the same way every time: “but I’m not technical, and every agency I talked to quoted six months and a fortune.”

For most of my career the honest answer was sympathy. Building software really did take a team, and teams really are expensive. But that changed under my feet, and I’ve documented exactly how: I build my own platforms with a fleet of AI agents — organized like an engineering team, with enforced roles and review gates — operating one product entirely solo while holding a full-time job and a doctorate.

So I’m doing the obvious next thing. I’m opening up as a build partner — for people who want to build software and aren’t technical.

How it works

You bring the idea, the domain knowledge, and the decisions. I bring product leadership — ten years of it, from scaling agile organizations to shipping fintech on government APIs — and the agent fleet that does the engineering.

We pair weekly: you talk in plain language, we decide together, and every week you click on something real, not a status report. The scope lives on one page you actually understand. And everything — code, accounts, domain, data — is yours from day one. No hostage infrastructure.

The range runs from “a website that finally sells me properly” — with the whole boring layer included: analytics, SEO, AI-search visibility, email, booking — up to a real product MVP with payments and accounts, and on to platform-scale work for the rare idea that deserves it.

Why I’m confident in this

Because I’m not selling a theory. This site is the small tier, built the same way I’d build yours. Firmoscop is the product tier — designed, shipped, and operated by one person with agents. BONO is what platform-scale looks like. The method is public, the rules the fleet cannot break are public, and the receipts are on every page of this site.

The scarce ingredient was never code — it’s judgment about what to build, in what order, and when to say no. That’s the part I’ve done for a living for a decade. The agents just removed the excuse between judgment and shipped software.

The invitation

If you’re the person with the idea and without the technical co-founder — or you know that person — the details live at Work with me. It starts with a thirty-minute call that commits you to nothing: you talk, I ask questions, and worst case you leave with a clearer picture of what your idea actually takes.

Bring the idea. I’ll bring the build.
