Observable Labs · Vancouver, BC · Canada-wide & global remote

Software and AI, built for what you're actually trying to do.

I take short, focused engagements with individuals, small businesses, and startups — turning ideas into working software and helping teams adopt AI in a way they can actually maintain.

Tell me what you're building See services

Built for ideas, businesses, and startups alike.

Whether you have a technology idea, a business that could run better with automation, or a team that needs a POC shipped, the engagement shape is the same: short, defined, and measured by what you can do with it afterwards.

Short, defined engagements.

Typically one to four weeks. Clear scope. Real deliverables. No open-ended retainers, no staff-aug.

Vancouver-based, working everywhere.

Based in Vancouver, BC. Most work is remote — clients across Canada and internationally.

Who I work with

You have an idea that needs a builder.

You've got something involving software, automation, or AI and want to pressure-test it with someone who can tell you what it actually takes to build. I can take it from napkin to working prototype.

Your business could run better.

You've heard enough about AI and automation to know there's something there — you just don't know where to start or whether it applies to you. I help you figure that out, then build what's useful.

Your team needs a focused contractor.

You're a startup or a small product team that doesn't need a full-time hire — you need a trusted contractor to ship a POC, stand up MLOps, or stress-test an architecture before the problems get expensive.

How I work

  1. Talk. A short conversation to understand what you're trying to do and whether I'm the right fit.
  2. Audit and plan. I review what exists — code, data, process — and propose a concrete plan with scope and deliverables.
  3. Build or advise. Most engagements are one to four weeks of focused work — development, setup, or a guided review.
  4. Hand off. A final report and whatever's been built, set up so you can run with it without me.

Start with a conversation.

No pitch. No intake form five pages long. Tell me what you're building or what problem you're trying to solve — I'll tell you honestly whether it's something I can help with.
