The short version
I take on a small number of engagements at a time — product builds and long-term retainers — and own them end to end: architecture, code, infrastructure, and delivery. One person, the whole surface.
What "owning it" means
- From scoping to shipped. I talk to stakeholders, design the system, write the code, set up the infra, and stay for the operations. No hand-offs, no "that's not my layer."
- Judgment over ceremony. The best code is the code never written. I'll question a complex request before building it, and I mark every intentional shortcut so it's a decision, not a surprise.
- Boring over clever. Standard library first, platform features second, dependencies last. Deletion is my favorite refactor.
AI-forward, verification-first
I work in the forward-deployed model: embedded in your environment, turning frontier AI models into production workflows that hold up under real operational constraints. That's also how I build — AI agents accelerate my delivery (580+ production PRs in six months on my current engagement, solo), but every change gates through deterministic checks first: typecheck, lint, tests, structural rules. The agents write a lot of the code; the checks and I decide what's true.
Communication
- Async-first. Clear written updates over meetings. When a call helps, we call.
- A weekly rhythm. You always know what shipped, what's next, and what's blocked.
- Direct access. You work with me, not through an account manager.
- Timezone: Andorra (CET) — solid overlap with both European hours and US mornings/afternoons.
Engagements
I work through Toptal or directly via my company, Wass Tech SLU. Retainers for ongoing product work, fixed-scope builds for well-defined projects.
If that sounds like what you need, get in touch.
