Currently available for new projects
New product from scratch or AI added to your existing SaaS, scoped before a line is written and shipped into production.
I take on a limited number of projects each quarter.
What I Build
From validated idea to working software, built for real use rather than throwaway prototypes.
Real AI capability in your existing product. Scoped, built, and maintainable.
New functionality and improved flows, solo or alongside your team, in your stack.
Systems that automate real work at scale. No second team to run them.
The tools your team uses every day, made faster and smarter with less manual work.
Multi-step AI, retrieval and background jobs, built for real traffic rather than demos.
Who This Is For
Clear goal, real owner, genuine push to ship. I work best with clients who are ready to build, not still deciding if they should.
Vision is there; architecture and build path aren't. I lock decisions before they get expensive.
Launch, demo or raise: you pick the date. I cut scope to hit it.
Ship AI that fits the product, not a bolt-on that breaks in six months.
Stretched team, full backlog. I drop into the repo and ship without a long ramp-up.
Process
Typically 6–8 weeks
We talk through what needs to be built and what done looks like. No spec doc needed; we build that together.
I turn it into a fixed-scope proposal with deliverables and a timeline, before any code starts.
Weekly updates and a working demo at key milestones. Real progress, not status reports.
Into production, documented and fully handed over. Code, infrastructure and access are yours.
How I Work
I work on builds that matter, where shipping the wrong thing would be expensive.
Case Study
Build
Managed runtime: subscribe, connect Telegram, pick your model (Claude, GPT, or Gemini), and your agent is live in under a minute. Node.js, Docker isolation per user, multi-LLM routing, Stripe billing. Built and deployed solo in 12 hours.
Result
1,300+ users. Growing MRR. Acquired through Reddit: organic posts, no paid ads, no agency.
I build real AI products fast, from infrastructure to distribution.

DataDrop backend
Built the full backend: APIs, file uploads, Stripe payments and access control. DataDrop launched on schedule and is serving paying customers in production.
“Héctor built the core backend for DataDrop — uploads, payments, access control — production-ready from day one. He worked independently and just delivered.”
Platform development
Led development across the stack: backend services, APIs and frontend features tied to storage workflows and integrations. Features shipped into the live platform without regression or disruption to existing users.
Platform automation
Built the operational layer: backend logic and integrations connecting the workflows that run the platform day-to-day. The automation went into production and became part of how the platform actually runs.
What People Say
Héctor consistently delivered well-architected solutions across multiple stacks. The kind of engineer you want when things need to actually ship.
Héctor built the systems that actually run the platform — real automation, not a prototype. He understood the business, not just the code.
Héctor delivers across the stack and keeps projects on track from start to finish. You can trust him to take work through to completion.
Worked with teams at: Protocol Labs · Akave · SEAD.ai · AdhocWorks · DeStor
FAQ
We talk through what needs to be built and what done looks like. I turn that into a fixed-scope proposal with deliverables and a timeline, before any code starts.
Discovery → architecture → build → ship. Most projects run 6–8 weeks. You see real progress weekly, not status updates.
Yes. Most clients aren't engineers. I handle all technical decisions and explain what matters without the noise.
Yes, standard.
A clear problem and a decision-maker. No spec doc needed; we build that together in the first week.
Tell me what you're building. I'll scope it and tell you honestly if I can help.
I reply within 24 hours.
I'm selective about what I take on. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you.
What you're building and what needs to happen. That's enough.
No spec needed. No deck. Just a short description.
