Are you a non-technical founder who's been burned by developers?

🔥

Overpromised, underdelivered

You've hired devs who promised the world and delivered a nightmare. I've fixed those messes.

💰

Bloated costs, slow progress

Your SaaS is running on $500/month AWS when it should cost $40 on Hetzner.

🎯

No ownership, no clarity

You need a technical partner who owns the outcome — not a time-tracker who owns the hours.

How I Deliver — The Terms of Engagement

Zero micromanagement. Complete transparency.

🛡️

14-Day Mutual Alignment Guarantee

If we're not a perfect fit within 2 weeks, I issue a 100% refund — no questions asked.

⏱️

Async-First Execution

One weekly alignment call. All daily updates async via text or Loom. You pay for engineering throughput, not meeting bloat.

🔑

Clean Handoff & IP Sovereignty

You hold the root keys and own 100% of source code from Day 1. No proprietary lock-in, no vendor hostage.

🎯

Fixed-Price Milestones

Once a milestone is funded, scope is locked. New ideas go into a V2 Backlog — quoted after launch.

🔧

30-Day Code Warranty

I patch any bugs within the delivered scope for free for 30 days post-launch.

💬

Every technical decision gets a plain-English explanation. You'll never hear "we need to refactor the microservices layer" without a clear translation of what it means for your product, timeline, and budget.

"He isn't one of the type of developers that just says 'sure, I can do that.' He's thoughtful and will give his honest feedback and advice on everything. Overall, 12/10 of a developer. I really got lucky with Anton."

Product Owner

Tech Lead • $55,749 • 7+ months

"On an hour consultation, he killed it. He didn't just talk, we got work done during the call. He was very knowledgeable on pretty much everything I needed and I'll certainly be going back more than a few times."
