Why Work with Red Leg Dev
You get a direct line to an experienced engineer who speaks your language — not tech jargon. No layers of project managers, no hand-offs to people you've never met.
You'll Always Know What's Going On
No confusing tech talk, no disappearing acts. We 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.
We Build What Actually Matters
We won't overcomplicate things or pad the project. We figure out what your business really needs, build that, and get it in your hands fast.

What Can We Help You With?
Whether you're starting from an idea, fixing something that's not working, or growing what you've already built — we've got you covered.
Turn Your Idea Into Reality
You have the idea and the business sense — you just need someone to build it. We'll put a working product in your hands so you can start getting customers.
What you get:
- A working product in your hands within weeks
- A design your customers will find easy and intuitive
- Handles real users from day one — not just a demo
- Payment processing and the integrations your business needs
- Ready to show investors or launch to customers
Most founders spend months trying to find the right developer. We keep it simple — tell us what you're building, and we'll show you a working version fast.
Fix What's Not Working
Something was built but it's not doing what you need. We'll figure out what's wrong, fix it, and make sure it works the way your customers expect.
What you get:
- We find and fix the issues causing problems
- Make sure your customers' information stays secure
- Set things up so updates are smooth and reliable
- Your product works even when lots of people use it at once
- Get it ready for your big launch or demo day
You've already invested time and money into this. We're not going to tell you to start over — we'll work with what you have and make it right.
Forward Deployed Engineer for AI Teams
Embed a senior engineer inside your AI product org to ship agents, integrations, evals, and production features — peer to fractional CTO, different job.
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
How We Work
Simple, transparent, and focused on getting your product shipped.
Discovery
We 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
We put together a clear plan: what we'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
We 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
We hand off a working product you can use right away. And we stick around — we're here whenever you need changes, fixes, or new features.
