How it works
From on-site kickoff to software in production
A Fractional Forward Deployed Engineer engagement is a relationship, not a transaction. Here's exactly what working together looks like.
Discovery & on-site kickoff
3 days on site in person, anywhere in the Metroplex. I learn how your business actually runs, map your data flows, and identify your highest-leverage AI and software opportunities. You leave with a prioritized roadmap and timelines for implementation, not a vague proposal.
Embed & build
A flat monthly subscription. I join your standups, learn your domain, and ship production-grade AI continuously, re-prioritized with you each week. Because I'm dedicated to your roadmap and not split across fifty tickets, context compounds quickly.
Ship & compound
Working software in production, fast. The six-month minimum exists because real outcomes compound: early domain learning turns into accelerating delivery week over week. This is the opposite of a one-off project hand-off.
Transition to maintenance
When the heavy build is done, step down to the Maintenance plan (up to 6 hrs/mo) to keep everything patched and healthy, or keep going with a full subscription when something new lands.
Why it's different
What makes this a Forward Deployed engagement
On-site, in DFW
National subscription shops market "no meetings" and async-only. I do the opposite — in-person time across Dallas–Fort Worth is the whole point.
AI-native, in production
Not slideware. LLMs, agents, and ML pipelines built into systems that real people use, done precisely, not as vague "AI" hype.
One engineer, not a queue
You work directly with the engineer building your software. No account managers, no ticket triage, no work handed off to someone junior.
Flat monthly price
A predictable subscription instead of hourly billing games or six-figure project quotes. You always know what it costs.
