Ways to work together

Solo, embedded, or by your side.

I can own a project as a solo developer, work hands-on with your team, or help you make the right calls as a sparring partner.

  1. 01

    Solo developer

    I take a clear brief from idea to a working AI product, agent, or integration.

  2. 02

    In your team

    I embed with your people to build, unblock decisions, and raise the pace where it matters.

  3. 03

    Sparring partner

    I help founders and teams challenge assumptions, shape the roadmap, and choose what to build next.

About Paul

Eight years of engineering, now focused on AI.

  1. Web engineering

    I spent eight years building and improving production systems with WordPress, Laravel, PHP, React, and Next.js across podcasting, job boards, health, e-commerce, and government. My International Business and Management Studies bachelor helps me quickly understand the business context behind the technical work.

  2. Early 2025

    In early 2025, I created ifixvibecode.com to help technical and non-technical founders turn AI-generated prototypes into real products and integrate AI into their businesses.

  3. Today

    Today, I work as an AI engineer, building useful products, agents, loops, and automations with Claude Code and Codex.
