# Founding Engineer for Your Product Idea

## Who this is for
- Founders with a clear product idea and no engineering team.
- Small organisations whose internal process has outgrown spreadsheets and
  group chats.
- Professionals whose day is consumed by work an application should be doing.
- Anyone who needs a real product rather than a prototype that cannot ship.

## Problem
- Hiring a full team to test one idea is out of proportion to the risk.
- Agencies split the work across specialists, and the seams between design,
  backend, and infrastructure are where products stall.
- Handing personal or health-adjacent data to a generic app stack creates
  obligations most founders have not thought through.
- The gap between an idea and something usable is usually infrastructure
  work nobody wants to own.

## What we do
- Take an idea to a shipped product: design and UX, frontend, backend and
  APIs, database, infrastructure and DevOps, AI integration.
- Decide the architecture once, across the whole stack, rather than
  negotiating it between contractors.
- Keep data in the EU by default and build for GDPR from the first schema
  rather than retrofitting it.
- Ship in weeks through a defined sequence: idea, scope, build, ship.

## Outcomes
- A working product in the hands of real users.
- One person accountable for the whole system, so nothing falls between
  roles.
- Data residency and privacy handled as a design constraint, not a
  disclosure added later.
- A codebase you own and can hand to a team when there is one.

## How we work
- Fixed scope agreed after a short scoping conversation.
- Built end to end by one senior engineer, working directly with you.
- Weekly cadence, documented and asynchronous between sessions.
- See also: [AI Orchestration Services](/services/ai-orchestration/index.md),
  [Web Development Services](/services/web-development/index.md).

## Next step
Book a call and describe the idea. We will work out what the smallest
shippable version looks like and what it would take to build.
