Where Zetmel
can help.
Work directly with a senior engineer on product development, recovery, modernization or technical review. Engagements are shaped around the actual product problem rather than a fixed agency package.
Build with senior engineering ownership
Turn a product concept into a working application with clear architecture, milestones and production-minded implementation. I use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate research, planning, implementation and review while retaining direct responsibility for every engineering decision.
This is not a code-generation service. It's a structured, human-led engineering engagement that uses AI as a force multiplier.
Discuss a productWhat I offer
-
Product discovery & scoping — Understand users, business rules, risks and success criteria before writing code.
-
Architecture & data modelling — Define a clear technical foundation with typed schemas, predictable data flow and maintainable structure.
-
Milestone-based delivery — Break work into reviewable stages with acceptance criteria at every step.
-
AI-assisted implementation — Generation, review, refinement and testing in a structured, human-led loop.
-
Production packaging — Deployment, documentation and handover for a working, usable release.
Audit, prioritize and recover
An unfinished MVP, an AI-generated application that feels incomplete, a project that lost momentum — I audit the product, identify architectural and experience gaps, prioritize the work and execute focused recovery sprints.
AI can produce a surprising amount of software quickly. It can also produce inconsistent architecture, missing workflows, raw interfaces and hidden technical debt.
Request a product auditWhat I offer
-
Technical & UX audit — Assess architecture, code quality, missing workflows, UI gaps and technical risk.
-
Recovery planning — Prioritize gaps into structured sprints with clear completion criteria.
-
Implementation sprints — Fix the highest-impact issues in focused, measurable iterations.
-
UI and workflow refinement — Polish interfaces, complete user flows and improve the feeling of a finished product.
-
Stabilization & handover — Deliver a coherent, maintainable codebase with documentation for the next phase.
Move forward without starting over
Established systems carry real business logic, user data and operational history. I help teams incrementally migrate or refactor legacy interfaces and architectures while protecting business continuity.
Modernization is a technical problem with human constraints. I focus on pragmatic, testable steps that deliver value at each stage.
Discuss modernizationWhat I offer
-
Legacy frontend migration — Move older JavaScript, Angular, Knockout, jQuery or PHP templates toward a modern component architecture.
-
Commerce platform evolution — Transition from legacy OCC or similar platforms to React-based frameworks.
-
Incremental refactoring — Improve codebase structure one module at a time without freezing the product.
-
Performance improvement — Identify and resolve load-time, rendering and data-fetching bottlenecks.
-
Maintainability upgrades — Add types, testing, documentation and consistent patterns to improve long-term health.
A clear, honest process
Understand the problem. Build a solution. Review and improve. Ship and iterate.
Discovery
A conversation about your goals, your product and what success looks like. No obligation.
Proposal
A clear scope, timeline and cost. One page, plain language, fixed price.
Build & Review
Short cycles with regular check-ins. You see the product evolve as it's built.
Launch & Support
Deploy, hand over, stay available. Iteration after launch is straightforward.
