How we work together
Start with a free Leak Check, a live scan across 7 checks in about 20 seconds. If it flags real risk, run a $299 Ship Check for the full overnight audit. If the findings are dangerous, Ship Fix closes them, fixed scope. Once you are clean, Continuum keeps you safe as the app keeps changing.
I don't bill hourly. Every step has a fixed price or a fixed-scope quote. Hourly billing creates wrong incentives when AI compresses days into seconds.
Yes. It runs live in about 20 seconds across 7 checks, no card, no signup required. It exists so you can see what the engine catches before you pay for anything.
It is the overnight agent fleet doing the volume, plus my judgment on what actually matters. One flat price, one ranked report, every finding backed by a proof you can re-run.
You get a ranked report: what is exposed right now, what is urgent, what can wait. If there is dangerous findings, I quote a Ship Fix to close them. If it is clean, you are done, or you move to Continuum to stay that way.
Fixed scope, $4K to $15K depending on what the Ship Check turned up. Days, not weeks. Every fix ships with a re-runnable proof it is actually closed.
Ongoing coverage after the check and the fix. Three levels: Watch (always-on monitoring, plain-English alerts, from $49/mo), Care, and Partner, a senior engineer in every critical loop. See /continuum for details.
Yes. Book a free 30-minute call any time; I'll tell you honestly which step fits, or whether none of them do yet.
Leak Check is instant. Ship Check runs overnight once you grant access. Ship Fix and Continuum start as soon as scope is agreed, usually within a few days.
Yes, mutual. Standard language. Happy to use yours.
AI and the engineering pipeline
No. Every fix is reviewed by me before you see it. The agent fleet produces volume; I apply judgment. If a diff drifts, looks brittle, or cuts a corner, it gets rejected and redone. Nothing autonomous touches main, ever.
You do. Always. Repo stays yours, history stays clean, rollback is always possible.
Least-privilege, read-only access to run the audit. Nothing touches your production data or your main branch during the check itself.
Yes, if you have the time and technical judgment to scope the work, review the output, catch edge cases, and safely merge it. Ship Check and Ship Fix are for founders who want a second set of eyes without becoming the reviewer, architect, and QA layer themselves.
Stack, tools, working style
JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby. React, Next.js, Node, Django, Rails. Postgres, Redis. Hosting on Vercel, Render, Fly, AWS. Mobile and embedded I refer out unless it's hybrid.
France, UTC+1. Async-first. If you're on US time, your Ship Check runs while you sleep and the report is waiting in your inbox before your first coffee.
Yes. I run a parallel workstream against your team's branch model. We agree on owned files and conventions up front. No stepping on each other's commits.
No 24/7 on-call. If your prod is on fire right now, I do scoped recovery through Ship Fix, not war-room engineering.
