From idea to shipped product, without the agency overhead.

Phil builds products.
Not wireframes, not prototypes that need a handoff. Working products, shipped in live environments. The same tools he teaches are the ones he uses: React, Supabase, Vercel, n8n, Claude Code.
If you need a product built or a stalled product rescued, this is the engagement.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT services

Product development with Phil is suited to founders and small teams who need to move fast without burning budget on an agency that doesn't understand the product. The work spans full-cycle: scoping and architecture, build, iteration, and handoff with documentation and internal capability built in.

Phil brings both product strategy and technical delivery: the combination that typically requires two different hires.

He's rescued projects nine months behind schedule. He's migrated 20,000 workers onto new infrastructure. He's taken a product from zero to launched, solo.
The work is possible because the tools are right and the process is clear.

Engagements are not open-ended retainers. They're scoped to a specific outcome: an MVP shipped, a platform stabilised, a team unblocked.
