Three disciplines. An honest no to everything else.
No agency, no grab bag. Three things — done properly,
all the way into production.
01
Web Development
Next.js · TypeScript · own infrastructure
Dashboards, internal tools, complex SaaS frontends.
No WordPress landing pages — software your team uses every day
and can still maintain in two years.
Next.js App Router, type-safe APIs
Realtime & live data
Deployment on own infrastructure
02
AI Consulting
LLMs · RAG · Agents
An honest assessment of which AI idea makes sense — and which one
you should skip. Then implementation all the way to production,
not just to the slide deck.
LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, local)
RAG systems on your own data
Agents, evaluation & monitoring
03
Automation
Workflows · Integrations · Operations
The manual chores that cost your team hours every week disappear into
reliable pipelines — with monitoring, alerts and a plan B.
Astro 5 multi-site with a central CMS, live match results via a
sports API, photo pipeline and autopush deployment. One editor maintains it,
fourteen sites stay consistent.

Internal document platform
RAG across the entire document corpus: full-text and semantic search,
text-to-speech, voice notes — fully on-premises.

Agent workflow for support
LLM classification and routing of incoming requests — with an eval
suite and monitoring instead of gut feeling.
Astro 5 SSR with six service tracks and contract routes,
a headless CMS for news, a reverse proxy on own infrastructure —
operated, not just handed over.

03 · Process
Four steps. No process theater.
From the first email to a running system — no workshop marathons,
no slide battles.
1
Listen
The first call is free. The uncomfortable questions come early —
not after the contract is signed.
Free
2
Assess
A written assessment within days: what’s worth it, what isn’t,
what it costs. Even if the answer is “don’t do it”.
Within days
3
Build
Short cycles, something clickable every week.
Weeks, not quarters.
Weeks, not quarters
4
Operate
Monitoring, maintenance, a direct line to me —
not to a ticket system.
Ongoing · optional
Positioning
No vendor lock-in. No buzzword markup. And an honest
“don’t do it” when a spreadsheet beats an LLM.
