Studio of One

A highly refined and cost-effective technology solution.

Do you have a challenge that needs a solution? A product you want to launch as quickly and cost-effectively as possible?

I offer a unique “Studio of One” service. By combining decades of experience with a custom hyper-optimized AI workflow and a very carefully curated tech stack, I collapse months of traditional development into days.

One point of contact, zero overhead, an MVP live in days, that you own 100% of, fully documented and expandable.

Guarantee Success, Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible

In the traditional software world, “scale” used to mean “headcount.” To build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), you were told you needed a Product Manager to define requirements, a Designer to create the UI, a Frontend Developer to build the interface, and a Backend Engineer to wire the logic. And if you didn’t really know what you needed in the first place, you might have added a consultant or two, and a business analyst.

This model is broken. It is slow, expensive, and plagued by communication overhead.

I operate as a Studio of One. This isn’t “freelancing” - it is a high-leverage methodology designed to take an idea to a live, scalable reality in 5 to 10 days.

The Leverage: AI + The Custom Stack

The “Studio of One” is made possible by two modern force-multipliers:

AI-Augmented Engineering: I use LLMs and AI coding assistants not just to write code, but to accelerate architectural decisions, automate unit testing, and perform instant code reviews. This allows me to produce the output of a four-person team without the friction of a single meeting.

The Instant Startup Stack: I don’t start from scratch, but nor do I deliver a no-code solution that will constrain what you do next. I use a battle-tested, highly customized framework built on the industry’s most reliable tools:

Whilst some technologists will debate the tools they use forever and a day, I’ve carefully selected these technologies to get the job done fast and remain maintainable and scaleable for the future. Instead of paying for the time it takes to agonise over tools, you’re spending your money on your product.

Complexity, Simplified

When you work with a Studio of One, the “telephone game” ends. The person who hears your vision is the same person who designs the database schema, draws the UI, and creates the deployment.

This eliminates the “Lost in Translation” tax. We move from conversation to implementation in hours, not weeks.

Built to Hand Over

A common fear of the “solo builder” is being locked into a messy, idiosyncratic system. I build specifically to solve this.

By using a very standard web stack, the result is a somewhat “boring” (and therefore reliable) architecture. Every aspect of the system is documented, every component is modular, and every database table is structured according to industry best practices.

When our 5-10 day engagement is over, you aren’t left with a “black box.” You are left with a professional foundation that any competent developer can take over, maintain, and scale.

What We Can Build

Ultimately we’re building solutions. It might be an MVP of a new product, an evolution of an existing one or a technical solution to a business challenge.

The Result

You’re probably already aware of many of the advantages of having an actual MVP, production-ready and useful in the real world. Here are just a few:

All without writing job specs, engaging an agency, interviewing candidates, onboarding, motivating or managing.

Guarantee

I offer a cast-iron guarantee that you’ll like what you get. When the work is complete and you see the end result, if you don’t like what you see you can ask for a full refund and walk away.

Pricing

Projects are priced on a fixed-fee basis and start at £7,500.
