If your website isn’t converting, your idea is still just an idea, or your projects feel out of control — you’re losing opportunities every single day. This is the 45-second message that explains exactly how I fix that, written in plain English so you can read it in 10 seconds. Or watch the video ↑
You’re losing time. And you’re losing opportunities. Every single day.
I build websites and applications that perform — fast, clean, and built to convert. No delays. No excuses. No wasted time.
And if you’re an architect or leader dealing with constant overload — I built Architect Dashboard to fix that too. No confusion. No chasing updates. Just control. Just results.
Three doors. Same phone. Pick the one that stops the bleeding today — or keep watching opportunities walk past. Your move.
If any of these sounds like your week — you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep spinning. Every founder, coach, and leader below has sat exactly where you sit now. The fix starts with naming the moment out loud — then picking the service that actually solves it, not the one that sounds fanciest.
Pretty design, no buyers. Bounce rates high, conversion flat. You know the problem isn’t traffic — it’s trust, speed, clarity. You need a site that closes on day one.
Users land, look around, leave. The UI feels cheap, the flow feels broken, the pricing feels hard to justify. You don’t need more features — you need a redesign that makes visitors pull out the credit card.
Leader, architect, founder — you’re chasing updates, losing track, burning energy on the wrong things. You need a dashboard that shows the truth in 2 minutes, not a 200-slide strategy deck.
One senior engineer, under one roof: code that ships, design that converts, architecture that scales. No agency drag, no junior rotations, no 80-slide decks that gather dust. Pick the path that matches where you are right now — from first-time founders launching their MVP to scale-ups that need a second set of senior hands. Every engagement starts in weeks, not months.
MVPs and production web apps that don’t just ship — they close. Premium UI from the first pixel, bulletproof architecture from the first commit, copy that converts. Launch in weeks, not months, and hit the market ready to sell at a premium price.
For founders ready to launch. Outcome: live product, paying customers.
Premium redesigns and conversion-first UI systems that make visitors pull out the credit card. Figma design systems, real user flows, and copy that sells — not just pretty screens. Your product finally looks as expensive as it is.
For products that underperform their price. Outcome: higher conversion, higher pricing.
Senior engineering on call, every month. Bugs fixed before customers see them, performance kept in the 90s, accessibility locked in, new features shipped weekly. Sleep at night while your product compounds — no more firefighting, no more flaky freelancers.
Monthly retainer. Outcome: zero downtime, compounding speed.
Two days a week of senior full-stack delivery — roadmaps, code, architecture reviews, hiring standards, unblocking your team — for 3–6 months. You get a staff-level engineer’s judgment without the €175K full-time comp, the 6-month hiring cycle, or the risk of a bad hire.
€20–50K · 2 days/week. Outcome: clear roadmap, team unblocked.
Hourly calls, brutally honest go/no-go reviews, and sharp second opinions before you commit to a build, a hire, or a vendor. One 90-minute session can save you months of wrong direction and tens of thousands in wasted budget.
Pay by the hour. Outcome: right decision, less burn.
30 minutes, sharp questions, an honest recommendation. No agency pitch, no upsell, no time wasted. I tell you which of the 5 makes you money fastest — even if it’s none of them.
Two live products running in production, with real customers and real uptime. I don’t just advise — I eat my own cooking. Architect Dashboard diagnoses where your energy leaks and returns a plan in 2 minutes. CNT Coach + CoachMind gives coaches a real tool instead of handwritten notes. Try either, free, before we ever talk.
You feel exhausted, low energy, unproductive — even though you’re busy every minute. The team feels it too: stagnation, disengagement, slow delivery, passive-aggressive noise.
You’re facing an emotional block and want a clear development plan — a safe space to communicate, connect, and discover your potential. Or you’re a coach tired of handwritten notes and want real structure, clarity, and a visible trajectory from first to last session.
Real projects, measurable numbers, documented trajectories. Every case study below shows the starting pain, the mechanism I used, and the outcome you can verify. No vanity metrics, no hand-wavy “strategic impact” — just what was broken, what I built, and what it moved.
Legacy infrastructure on bare metal. Manual scaling consuming ops resources. Deployment was a 4-hour process with frequent rollbacks. Business growth blocked by infrastructure limitations.
Frontend, Backend, Security, and DevOps teams operating in separate silos. Constant conflicts and miscommunication. Features taking 3-6 months to ship. Developer frustration at all-time high.
200+ critical vulnerabilities across 50+ microservices. Manual remediation consuming 40 hours/week. Blocking production deploys and threatening compliance certifications.

A four-step rhythm that respects your runway and your time. Week one is free discovery — no open-ended retainer, no scope creep, no surprise invoice. Everything is scoped, priced, and milestoned before you write the first check. You stay in control. I stay in output mode. Weekly demos keep both of us honest, and a clean handover makes sure your team can keep running without me.
Week 1
Week 2
Months 1-6
Final Month
Transparent anchors. Most engagements land between €20–50K — the final number depends on scope and timeline, not on how fast you blink in the discovery call. No “phase 2” bait-and-switch, no hidden revision fees, no retainer creep. You see the number before you sign.
Engagement: 2 days/week × 3-6 months · Code + UI/UX + architecture
Typical investment: €20-50K
(varies by scope & complexity)
You save 60-70%
The real questions people ask before committing — answered in plain English, without lawyer-speak or sales gymnastics. How do I compare to a full-time hire? What if you don’t know my stack? Do I sign NDAs? It’s all here. If something’s still unclear, 30 minutes on a call closes the gap — no commitment to ask.
Cost: Full-time senior developer = €120K + €40K benefits + €15K recruitment ≈ €175K/year. Fractional ≈ €48K/year (73% savings).
Speed: I start in 2 weeks. Full-time hire takes 3-6 months.
Flexibility: Scale up/down as needed. No firing awkwardness if priorities shift.
Best for: Companies that need senior full-stack execution but not 40 hours/week of it.
My specialty: Systems thinking, not language-specific coding. I've worked with Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, Go across banking, fintech, e-commerce.
What matters: Architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, CQRS), security principles (OWASP, zero-trust), infrastructure (Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD) are universal.
Learning curve: I get productive in new codebases within 1 week. Your patterns/frameworks in 2-3 weeks.
Yes, always. Standard mutual NDA before discovery call. Happy to review your template.
What I protect: Your architecture docs, code, business logic, customer data, roadmap.
What I share (anonymously): General lessons in blog posts (e.g., "How to migrate to Kubernetes" without naming clients).
Consulting firms: Send junior consultants (€800-1,200/day) supervised by senior partner you never meet. Deliver PowerPoint decks, not code.
Me: You work directly with me (no juniors). I write code, not just strategy docs. Hands-on implementation, not just advice.
Also: No upselling. No "phase 2" bait-and-switch. Fixed daily rate, transparent scope.
Short answer: Not my focus, but I can help indirectly.
What I do: Train your existing team, document systems so they self-serve, pair program to upskill juniors.
What I don't do: Conduct interviews, write job descriptions, manage performance reviews, be a line manager.
If you need that: You need a fractional CTO/Head of Engineering (different role). Happy to refer specialists.
Flexible options:
Typical pattern: Start 2 days/week → spike to 3 days during critical phase → drop to 1 day/week for maintenance.
