Software built for you on open-source technology. No agency overhead. No paid dependencies. One architect, one commitment — and at the end, the code is yours.
Every SaaS subscription is a lease you never pay off. Every agency contract ends with a handoff and a codebase no one understands. You pay developers by the hour, and when they leave, the knowledge leaves with them.
I built my first rendering engine in 2006 by reading docs and breaking things until they worked. Since then, I've shipped production systems across product visualization, AI integration, and full-stack platforms — systems that are still running. I've worked with teams across five countries and distilled what I learned into a one-person operation powered by two decades of domain expertise and modern AI tooling.
My model is different. I build your software during an active development phase, then transition to a lower-cost lease. Want to own it outright? A one-time buyout fee transfers the code, servers, API keys — everything — to you. The cost depends on your term. No vendor lock-in. Just yours when you're ready.
Select a commitment length from 12 to 150 months. Shorter terms cost more per month. Longer terms give you the best rate and the deepest relationship with your software architect.
Throughout the commitment, I design, build, and continuously improve your software. New features, integrations, scaling, bug fixes — it's all covered. One architect who knows every line.
Once built, transition to a lower-cost lease. Or buy out with a one-time fee based on your term — code, servers, and API keys transfer to you. It's always your choice.
When you buy out your software, you own everything — code, servers, API keys. But your app can stay registered with the Appnow platform for ongoing runtime updates, security patches, and configuration management.
Included with all Active Dev and Lease plans. Optional for buyout clients.
Introducing Donatello — an AI assistant that monitors your application, detects issues before they become outages, and applies fixes automatically. Need a change? Just describe it in chat — Donatello handles the rest.
Available for Lease and Buyout clients. Donatello for $24/hr, my junior ai developer assistant. Donatello will be more expensive as he learns to do everything I can.
Full-stack platforms, admin dashboards, customer portals — built to your exact specifications with no framework baggage.
Photorealistic rendering engines, 3D product configurators, real-time pattern and texture compositing systems.
Intelligent search, automated analysis, computer vision integration — AI that actually solves business problems.
Custom storefronts, inventory systems, payment integration — built for your business model, not someone else's template.
Backend architectures, database design, REST and webhook integrations that scale with your operation.
Internal tools that eliminate repetitive work, connect your systems, and let your team focus on what matters.
No sales deck. No discovery call with a junior rep. Just a direct conversation with the person who'll build your software.
