On the topic of bitcoin millionaires... I'm getting some sponsorship for my FreeBSD release engineering work from https://opensats.org/ . Have you asked them?

I haven't, honestly the application processes, paperwork, project reporting expectations and eligibility criteria for these kind of funds just gives me too much anxiety. I never know how to navigate it as a Canadian either, most of them are US or Europe based. I guess I'm naive to hold out for the anonymous bitcoin millionaires to donate "no strings" until I find something a bit more frictionless. Thanks anyway for t…

They're US based but I'm in Canada and haven't had any issues. Yes they ask for some information but it's not at all unreasonable.

I do AI consulting to quickly deliver the outcomes you want. I'm primarily a founder building my own products, so consulting capacity is intentionally limited. If I take a project on, I deliver the scoped outcome on the agreed timeline. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you up front rather than stretch.

I build production AI features: LLM pipelines, paid AI products end-to-end (billing, licensing, deliverability), real-time data processing. And I ship fast using Claude Code Max + Codex for code review.

Recent shipped work:

- TimeBox — AI-native calendar (Electron + TypeScript, OpenRouter — provider-agnostic, any AI SDK; Supabase). In production, reaching out to potential users.

- PodcastBrief — Enter an Apple Podcast episode URL, get a brief on it with real reference links on all things mentioned, speaker quotes, and key ideas. Automated podcast-to-brief pipeline using Next.js, Railway workers, Deepgram, Browserbase, Arcjet, Stripe.

Problems I can solve:

- Subscription billing + license-key provisioning for paid desktop apps (LS/Stripe webhooks, installer downloads) - Long-running async AI jobs that don't drop work - Media processing pipelines - Anti-abuse on AI endpoints

I do best with early-stage startups that need to ship an AI feature or integration in days or weeks, not quarters. I'm comfortable owning a full vertical — architecture, implementation, deployment.

Rate: Outcome-based, scoped per engagement. No hourly billing. 3 tiers of pricing: basics, enhanced value, and full accountability (above and beyond).
