A technical challenge? Explore it and build a prototype.Explore the Lab

Services

Prototyping, consulting, engineering and founder mentoring.

Explore a technical challenge and get a prototype built, bring senior advice or engineering into your team, or get product and technical guidance while building your own project.

Companies, founders and consulting partners

Build a prototype or support your team’s work.

Engage directly when the mandate is defined. When the decision is still unclear, a focused Sprint can establish the next step.

Lab · Prototyping and technical exploration

Understand a system, reverse engineer its behaviour, test an integration or build an original idea. I investigate the challenge and develop the agreed prototype, using AI, open-source components and recent solutions where they help.

Software engineering alongside your team

An integration, modernization or part of your software roadmap needs an experienced developer. I work alongside your team on the agreed delivery, with acceptance criteria and handover defined before we begin.

Enterprise AI adoption advisory

Which tasks could benefit from AI, and how would your team know? We examine the work, compare options and define how to assess usefulness, costs and errors. Advice and any implementation have an explicit scope.

Opportunity Sprint

Investigate an agreed problem and produce a decision brief: workflow, dependencies, options, recommendation and next action. Buying, integrating, investigating further or pausing are valid outcomes.

Nontechnical founders

Guidance while you build your own project.

An unvalidated idea is welcome. We can work on what to test, where to focus, which tools to use and when a prototype is ready for a pilot. You or your developer performs the build.

Product decision session

Work through one consequential decision with agreed preparation, a discussion and a written summary of the decision, assumptions and next action.

Product & technical mentoring

A bounded cycle of reviews to examine evidence, refine scope and make product and technical decisions. Preparation and any support between sessions are agreed in advance.

Agree on the work before committing.

Fees depend on the agreed scope. A proposal sets out the contribution, fee or billing basis, timing, client participation and what completion means.

  • The Lab delivers the agreed technical exploration and prototype, with tests, review, included refinements and handover. When feasibility is uncertain, we define the experiment’s objective explicitly.
  • A Sprint is optional when your enterprise mandate is already defined.
  • Mentoring covers advice; it does not include coding, debugging, pair programming or delegated MVP delivery.
  • A technical audit provides scoped findings, not an exhaustive certification or an automatic correction package.
  • A prototype or pilot does not include production deployment, operating support or a complete transformation unless those responsibilities are explicitly agreed.
