Senior backend, software architect, AI engineer. Booked weekly, but I keep slots for serious projects. Two ways to start: email me, or book a 15-min intro.

## How a typical engagement starts.

Three small steps, then we're either building or you have a clear no. Both outcomes are useful.

1. ### Send a short email   Couple of paragraphs. Problem, rough timeline, link to the product if it exists. No big spec needed.
2. ### 15-min intro call   Free. We see if it's a fit: scope, stack, stakes, my honest take on whether I'm the right person.
3. ### Scoped proposal   Within 48h: phased plan, milestones, deliverables, fixed price or weekly retainer. Your pick.

## Pick a lane to make scoping easy.

Most clients pick one. Some stack two. All are scoped and time-boxed.

- [MVP Build (4-12 weeks) From whiteboard to production. Auth, multi-tenancy, billing, dashboards, deployment. Laravel + your stack. Architecture & schema design Auth + RBAC + tenancy Stripe / Paddle billing CI/CD + zero-downtime deploy](https://ansezz.com/contact/?package=mvp)
- [AI Integration Sprint (2-4 weeks) Add real AI to an existing product. Claude, MCP, RAG, agents, with evals — not a demo, a feature. Claude API + tool use MCP server build RAG on pgvector + hybrid search Eval harness + cost guardrails](https://ansezz.com/contact/?package=ai)
- [Shopify Plus App Public or private app — embedded admin, billing, webhooks, App Bridge, GraphQL, billing, Shopify Functions. Embedded admin (App Bridge) Billing + dunning + analytics Catalog / Orders / Customer APIs Protected customer data review](https://ansezz.com/contact/?package=shopify)
- [Architecture Audit A senior set of eyes on your stack, before you scale. Code, schema, infra, deployment, risk. 1-week deep audit Risk + cost report 12-week remediation plan Optional pair-programming follow-up](https://ansezz.com/contact/?package=audit)

## Best for. Not for.

Saves both of us a call. Honesty up front.

### Best for

- Founders shipping a Laravel SaaS MVP
- Teams stuck on multi-tenant architecture
- Shopify Plus brands needing custom apps
- Agencies adding AI features without an in-house ML team
- CTOs wanting an honest architecture audit
- Existing apps fighting Octane / queues / observability

### Not for

- Pure WordPress / no-code work
- Mobile-only native apps
- Pixel-perfect static landing-page sprints
- Crypto / NFT projects

## FAQ.

Questions clients ask before they hit send. Rates, contracts and engagement terms are answered on [the services page](https://ansezz.com/services/).

    "Email rough scope. Reply ≤24h weekdays: every time."

- Are you available right now?       I keep 1 to 2 senior slots open per quarter. Current status sits in the badge at the top of this page. If it says Open, I have capacity.
- What should the first email actually say?       Two or three paragraphs is plenty: what you're building, what's broken or missing, a rough timeline, and a link if the product already exists. No spec, no NDA-first, no discovery form. If I need more I'll ask on the call.
- What happens after I book the intro call?       Fifteen minutes, camera optional. We cover scope, stack, and stakes, and I give you a straight answer on fit. If it's a yes, a written proposal with phases, milestones and pricing lands within 48h. If it's a no, I'll usually point you at someone better suited.
- Will you take an equity-only project?       Only if I'm already convinced. Cap-table fit, founder fit, traction. Cash + equity hybrids: open to discussing. Pure equity: rare.
- Can I see code samples?       Shipped work is on the work page, and open-source contributions are on GitHub. Client code is under NDA, but I'm happy to walk through architecture decisions and trade-offs live on a call.
- What about rates, contracts, and time zones?       All answered on the services page: fixed-scope pricing, weekly retainers, NDAs and statements of work, and the EU morning and US-East morning overlap windows I keep.
