Packages

Four ways to take manual work off your team

Each one is something I have already built and run in production, with a fixed scope and price. Prices exclude VAT.

AI assistant on your own data

Your customers' or your team's everyday questions are answered from your own documents and data, on your website or inside your system. When it is not sure, it hands over to a person.

From €3,0004–5 weeks

Order, invoice and document automation

AI reads orders, invoices and forms that arrive by email or PDF, checks them and enters them into your system. Anything unclear waits for a person's approval.

From €2,5003–4 weeks

Custom warehouse and operations software

Barcode tracking of stock and every movement, screens for the floor and the office, connected to your accounting or ERP.

From €6,000 for the first phase8–10 weeks

AI features for the software you already use

Your system reads documents, drafts replies, sorts requests or writes summaries. The feature is built in if the system is .NET, or runs as a small service next to any system with an API.

From €2,0002–3 weeks

Selected work

From a business problem to software in production

A live product I founded, a freelance app, and systems that have run warehouses and enterprise teams for years.

Vitena

Problem: Health and wellness professionals needed one place for client records, bookings and a client portal, and a way for new clients to find them.

I built a practice-management platform with a public directory where clients find and book them. It runs in production with real users, in 7 languages, on the web and as an Android app.

  • 7languages, on the web and Android
  • 20+LLM task types in production
  • 3AI agents that talk to users
  • 84–98%of prompt tokens served from cache
  • .NET 10 on AWS Lambda
  • Angular with SSR
  • PostgreSQL, schema per tenant
  • AWS CDK
  • Android app

The AI assistant drafts a meal plan from the practitioner's own recipes and foods; the nutrition values are computed in code, not by the model.

Every practitioner gets a public page with online booking, listed in Vitena's directory.

Built end to end, by one engineer

Product, backend, front end, infrastructure and the AI side: from the first commit to real users in production.

  • .NET 10 API on AWS Lambda with multi-tenant PostgreSQL
  • Angular with server-side rendering, 7 languages, an Android app
  • Infrastructure as code with AWS CDK and CodePipeline
  • An LLM layer with agents, evals and cost metering

The AI side

All of it is live and in daily use, not a demo.

  • Provider-agnostic LLM layer

    One completion interface in .NET with an adapter per provider; model and cost policy per task type, every call metered with its real cost.

  • Agents in production

    A tool-calling agent loop behind in-app support, a public pre-sales assistant and an admin agent on read-only SQL with hard limits.

  • Retrieval without embeddings

    A document map in the system prompt plus a read_doc tool, with the prompt ordered so most input tokens come from cache.

  • 20+ LLM task types

    Meal plans, session-note drafts, document reading with vision, voice-to-record capture, and triage of email and feedback.

  • Tracing and evals

    Tracing at the adapter layer, a spend report by task type, and a black-box eval harness that runs whenever a prompt changes.

  • Public MCP server

    A read-only MCP server over Streamable HTTP, listed in the official MCP Registry as care.vitena/directory.

  • Readable to AI assistants

    Server-rendered pages, JSON-LD, a sitemap and llms.txt, with server-side analytics for AI crawlers.

  • Coding-agent pipeline

    Claude Code sessions work through a task step by step: one plan approval up front, a fixed stop list, deploys behind a permission gate.
