Engineering consulting
I'm Diego, a software engineer with 10 years of experience across startups and scale-ups in San Francisco, Europe, and beyond. I help founders and teams make good calls about how to build, especially when shipping with AI, through code reviews, written reports, weekly mentorship, and full end-to-end builds.
Ways to work together
Consulting engagement
A live call, an honest read of your codebase, and a written report with recommendations, tools, open source projects, and AI ideas worth your time, plus ten days of follow-up over chat.
Weekly AI mentorship
A 30-minute review of your real code and product every week. Small course corrections that compound, over months, into a real advantage. Start with a free intro call, cancel anytime.
Custom builds
When you need someone to actually build it, full-stack web and mobile apps, AI features, infrastructure, internal tools. I've shipped products used by thousands of people in production.
Building now
I don't just advise, I build and run my own products. These are live today.
