Hourly
An audit or a focused fix.
Open to work.
Prototype in. Production out.
Your AI-built SaaS works in the demo. I make it work in production. I take prototypes from Cursor, v0, Bolt, Lovable and ChatGPT and fix what they skipped: architecture, security, multi-tenancy and payments.

[BLURRED SCREENSHOT TO COME]Payouts that stopped going missing.
A creator community with 1,000+ paying members, rebuilt after its first developer left with a half-built Stripe Connect integration. I moved payout state into the platform’s own database, with Stripe as the rail, not the record.
- $10K+ paid out automatically each month
- 1,000+ active members
Three ways to work together
Each one starts with a 20-minute call.
Monthly retainer
An embedded senior engineer.
Full-time remote
Full-stack web and mobile, AI or solutions roles.
Every engagement is quoted after the 20-minute call, because no two products need the same work. Ask for a quote
What clients and leads say
“The kind of engineer you can trust to own a feature end-to-end.”
“His communication was clear, regular and fast.”
“Venus built exactly what we envisioned and honestly, better.”
“Venus brings both technical depth and product thinking.”
Notes from production
For founders: what AI tools skip, and what it costs later.

Should I hire a developer or use AI to build my product?
A founder asked me last week: “Should I hire a developer or use AI to build my product?” My answer: both. But not the way you think.

Six questions to check a codebase without reading it
You can’t read code. That’s fine. You can still evaluate whether your codebase is healthy or a ticking time bomb. You just need to ask the right questions.

I read every message the same day. Then twenty minutes on a call about what breaks first.
