How embedded work runs

Inside your repo. Shipping, not decks.

I join your team on AI and agentic work and ship. Agents, MCP, LLM infrastructure, evals, the boring production path. The rescue often feeds into this.

Not slide decks. Not AI strategy theater. An engineer in the loop: your repo, your constraints, your change control.

Typical scope

Agents, MCP, production path.

Entry offer

Rescue first, when the app is already in production.

Entry

Vibe-coded app rescue

€3,000 fixed · about 5 business days after access

Your app is already in production. I review architecture, security, data model, bottlenecks, and costs. You leave with a prioritized fix list and a short walkthrough call. The rescue often feeds into embedded work.
