The work pattern is direct: David scopes, builds, ships, and maintains. No account managers, no offshore handoffs. Stack: Next.js 16, FastAPI, Postgres, Prisma, Tailwind v4, Stripe, NOWPayments, Discord automation, self-hosted Coolify deploys. Build-in-public on X. The site itself is the proof, including a public changelog and status page. ## Engagement model MGT engages on three patterns. Fixed-scope projects with a deposit and a delivery date. Monthly retainers for ongoing maintenance and feature work. Audits and consulting for teams that need a second opinion before they commit. Pricing is transparent on the /pricing page. Payment is taken via Stripe (cards) or NOWPayments (crypto). ## Services in detail ### AI Automation Production-grade AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation pipelines, and custom workflows. The work is real backend code with proper observability, not no-code glue. Typical engagements: agent design, eval harness, prompt management, vector search, structured output.
