Why Work with Red Leg Dev
You'll Always Know What's Going On
No confusing tech talk, no disappearing acts. I give you regular updates in plain English and you'll always understand where things stand.
You Work Directly with Me
No handoffs to junior developers. I've been building software for 15+ years and I'm personally involved in every project from start to finish.
I Build What Actually Matters
I won't overcomplicate things or pad the project. I figure out what your business really needs, build that, and get it in your hands fast.

What I do
SaaS MVP Development
You know the business. You need the product built. I'll put a working version in your hands, usually in 4–6 weeks, at a fixed price agreed before work starts.
Most founders spend months trying to find the right developer. I keep it simple — tell me what you're building, and I'll show you a working version fast.
What you get:
- A working product in 4–6 weeks, typically $25K–$60K
- Real auth, payments, and the integrations your business needs
- Handles real users from day one
- Code your next engineer can read
- Ready to show investors or launch to customers
Vibe Coding Rescue
Something was built and it isn't holding up. A $1,500 audit finds what's wrong in two weeks, then a fixed-price quote covers the fix. No judgment about the tools that got you here.
You've already invested time and money into this. I'm not going to tell you to start over — I'll work with what you have and make it right.
What you get:
- Every issue found and ranked by severity
- Customer data locked down: auth, permissions, secrets
- Deploys that don't take the whole app down
- Holds up when real traffic arrives
- Ready for launch or investor diligence
Forward Deployed Engineer for AI Teams
A senior engineer inside your AI product team, shipping agents, integrations, evals, and production features. $9,000/month, month to month.
What you get:
- Agents and tool integrations with real auth and failure modes
- Eval loops so you know when model or prompt changes helped
- Demo-to-production hardening (observability, secrets, reliability)
- Customer-facing AI surfaces that fail gracefully
- Code and boundaries a full-time hire can own next
AI Advisory & Fractional CTO
Senior technical judgment on a monthly retainer. Advisor ($5,000/month) gives you direction and a second opinion. Embedded ($9,000/month) adds weekly sessions and hands-on review in your repos.
What you get:
- A ranked AI opportunity map in month one
- Architecture, vendor, and build-or-buy calls
- Async access between sessions, usually answered same day
- Hiring help when you're ready for a full-time CTO
- Month to month, thirty days' notice, no termination fee
How I Work
Discovery
I hop on a call to understand your business, your customers, and what you're trying to accomplish. No jargon — just a real conversation about what you need.
Planning
I put together a clear plan: what I'll build, how long it'll take, and what it'll cost. No surprises — you'll know exactly what to expect before anything starts.
Execution
I build in short cycles and check in with you regularly. You'll see real progress every week and can give feedback along the way.
Delivery & Support
I hand off a working product you can use right away. And I stick around — I'm here whenever you need changes, fixes, or new features.
