Payoneer is the default — I send a payment request after we agree on scope. Wise and Stripe (cards) also available for US/EU clients. All engagements invoice 100% upfront for fixed-price tiers; retainers invoice monthly in advance.

What kind of ROI should I expect?

Conservative reference: 5 hours saved per developer per week. At a $80/hour loaded cost and a 5-person team, that is roughly $2,000/week — the audit pays back in one week, the implementation sprint in four.

AI-Native Dev Setup · Fractional CTO

Make your developers 2–3× more productive without hiring more of them.

Most small engineering teams already pay for Cursor or Copilot. Few have an actual AI-native workflow. I audit what your developers do today, install the right stack (Claude Code, Cursor, MCP servers, agent skills), and leave you with a playbook the team will keep using after I am gone.

The real number

Industry data from 2026 puts AI-augmented developers at 2–3× the output of traditional ones. The teams that hit that number are not the ones with the most expensive subscriptions — they are the ones with a deliberate workflow: shared agent skills, MCP servers wired into their stack, prompt patterns the whole team uses, and review processes that catch what AI gets wrong.

What I actually deliver

Stack decisions — Claude Code vs Cursor vs Copilot, where each fits in your workflow, what the team budget should be.
MCP server setup — wired into your repo, CI, ticketing, and docs so agents have real context.
Shared skills and hooks — codified team conventions, review checklists, and project-level config checked into the repo.
Workshops with your developers — not slides. Live coding through real tickets from your backlog.
Before / after measurement — so you can defend the spend to whoever signs cheques.

Why me

17 years building software, four companies, currently shipping LeadCognition with a small AI-native team. I run the exact stack I will install — Claude Code, Cursor, MCP servers across Linear, GitHub, Cloudflare, Postgres, Attio, PostHog, Sentry. This is what I do every day, not a deck I assembled to sell.

Who is this for?

Engineering teams of 3–15 developers who have not yet rolled out AI-native tooling, or have rolled it out unevenly and are not seeing measurable productivity gains. Works best when the founder or head of engineering wants ownership, not a vendor pitch.

Which tools do you set up?

Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, MCP servers, shared agent skills and hooks, project-level config. The exact mix depends on your stack, language, and review process. The audit picks it.

How do I pay?

Payoneer is the default — I send a payment request once we agree on scope. Wise and Stripe (cards) also available. Fixed tiers invoice 100% upfront; retainers monthly in advance.

What if the team resists?

Most teams resist because earlier AI tools were oversold. The workshops use real tickets from your backlog so the value shows up in week one, not week six. If a developer stays unconvinced, that is fine — the playbook lets the rest of the team move.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Mutual NDA before any code or repo access. Engagement contract is a 2-page MSA + SOW per tier.

Can you start this week?

Audits usually start within 5 business days. Sprints within 2 weeks. Retainers when slot opens — typically 2-4 weeks out.
