Retainer Shapes
The shapes of the retainers I offer. From MVP to legacy app rewrite, each with a clear scope and deliverable.
What an AI & Automation Retainer Looks Like
AI automation services on a weekly retainer — personal AI assistant setup, workflow scripts, ongoing maintenance. Same retainer, same person, same cadence as building.
What a White Label Web Development Retainer Looks Like
White label web development on a weekly retainer — senior dev capacity behind an agency or design studio's brand, invisible to their clients.
What a Firebase Audit Looks Like
Firebase consulting, structured as a one-week audit. Firestore queries, security rules, cost drivers — find what's exposing data and what's running up the bill.
What a Software Maintenance Retainer Looks Like
Software maintenance services on a weekly retainer: dependencies, security, performance, monitoring, bug fixes, and new features — same diligence as building.
What a Code Audit Looks Like
Code audit, software audit, technical due diligence — same work, different buyers. One week, $997, prioritized by risk: security, architecture, tech debt.
What a PWA Build Looks Like
PWA development service in 6 weeks. The most budget-efficient way to ship an app: web + installable + app stores from one codebase.
What a Legacy App Modernization Looks Like
Legacy application modernization services in 6 weeks: feature-by-feature migration, live app throughout, no big-bang rewrite, no frozen branch.
What a 2-Week PoC Looks Like
Rapid prototyping service structured as a 2-week engagement. Validate the riskiest technical assumption, get a working prototype + go/no-go.
What a DevOps Audit Looks Like
DevOps audit in the original sense — how your team ships software. CI/CD, deployment, rollback, monitoring. Not cloud administration.
What an Automation Audit Looks Like
Workflow automation service review in one week. Map internal portals, admin panels, and n8n / Make workflows — what you have, what's broken, what to consolidate.
What a Fractional CTO Engagement Looks Like
Fractional CTO for early-stage startups: same person as the founding engineer who builds your first version. The retainer is the engagement.
What a 6-Week MVP Build Looks Like
MVP development for startups, structured as a 6-week retainer. From idea to working SaaS — auth, core features, payments, production deploy.
