A freelance AI developer for startups
A senior AI developer who moves at startup speed and builds what you can grow on.
What startups need from a freelance AI developer
Startups need a AI developer who ships fast without leaving a mess the next engineer has to rewrite. Speed and sound architecture are not opposites if the person has done it before.
I have worked as a fractional CTO and architect for startups, so I build for the next stage, not just the demo. AI work is scoped around a business result, not a demo. If you are comparing candidates, ask how they measure answer quality; a demo that works once proves little.
What matters at your stage
- Ship in weeks — small releases so you learn from users early.
- Cost control — model choice and caching so bills stay sane.
- Clean foundations — auth, data and billing set up so they do not need rebuilding.
- Investor-ready — code and docs that hold up in technical due diligence.
- Hand-off ready — documentation for your first full-time hire.
What I take on as your AI developer
- Automation — repetitive back-office work handed to AI with checks.
- Evaluation — tests that show whether the AI is getting answers right.
- Cost control — model choice and caching so bills stay sane.
