Dallas–Fort Worth · Fractional · On-site
An AI-native software engineer, forward deployed into your business.
You know you need to do something with AI, but everyone seems like snake-oil salesmen. I embed in your business, learn your operational reality, and ship production-grade AI and software. No vendor agenda, no demos that never deploy. This is the last mile of AI transformation, and it needs to be built, not pitched.
What is a Fractional FDE?
Big-tech embeds an engineer with their most important customers. Now you can have one too: technology-agnostic, independent, and on-site in DFW.
A Forward Deployed Engineer doesn't hand you a proposal and disappear. They practice business immersion: embed in your environment, learn how you actually operate, and build the production-grade AI and software you need, sitting right alongside your team.
Fractional means you get that senior, AI-native capability without a $300K+ full-time hire or commitment to a single vendor's ecosystem. One flat monthly subscription, no hourly rates. We work on your problem until it's done.
Meet your engineer →Core capabilities
What I build, embedded with you
Fifteen-plus years of software engineering, currently leading AI workflow transformation in aerospace, now working inside your business.
AI Agents & AI-Native Engineering
LLM integration, AI Agents that reason through multi-step workflows and execute autonomously, and AI Governance built into real products, not demos. I ship production-grade AI that does work, safely and in production.
Systems Architecture
Custom mobile apps, cloud-native services, and clean APIs designed to scale with your business and survive contact with real users.
Embedded Delivery & Business Immersion
Business immersion is the first principle of forward deployed engineering. I work inside your business (on-site in DFW, in your standups, learning your domain) then build production software that fits your operational reality.
The engagement
A subscription, not a project quote
Discovery & on-site kickoff
We meet in person, anywhere in the Metroplex. I learn your business, your data, and your highest-leverage opportunities.
Embed & build
I deploy forward into your team on a flat monthly subscription, shipping production-grade software and AI continuously, prioritized with you each week.
Ship & compound
Working software in production, fast. A minimum six-month engagement gives us room to compound real outcomes, not one-off projects.
Transition to maintenance
When the heavy build is done, step down to a light maintenance plan to keep everything healthy, or keep going!
