work with diego.

// what staying looks like

• a regular cadence — a weekly rhythm, a call, a shared thread that stays open.
• scope that moves. this week a feature, next week a rewrite, the week after a decision you needed a second mind on.
• i hold context across the whole thing, so you stop re-explaining the project every time.
• one partner who ships and thinks, not a queue of tickets handed to a stranger.

most work isn’t one clean feature. it’s a hundred small turns, and each one is easier when the person making it already knows the last ninety-nine. that memory is the point of a retainer — the build starts from cold every time; this doesn’t.

// what i bring to the table

• ai wired into a live product — agents, chat, automation that runs and doesn’t lie.
• design that earns its place. i cut what doesn’t and the thing gets simpler, not louder.
• the hard calls — what to build, what to kill, what’s reversible and what isn’t.
• a working relationship. you tell me it’s wrong and i change it; that’s the job.

// the arrangement

• monthly. a set amount of me each month — you hold priority, i keep the context.
• by the engagement. rate set to the shape of the work, not a fixed sticker. reach out and we’ll land on it.
• one thing at a time. i take a small number of collaborations so each one gets a real mind, not a sliver.
• a month in, either of us can walk. no lock-in — it holds because it’s working.

if what you have is one bounded feature, the build is the cleaner fit — $3,500, live in 7 days. this is for when you want me around past that.
