Software Services:

Example: I can help you build a custom LLM Chat Bot System.
Why Smartfast?
- A different spin on a software consultancy: Instead of forcing a heavyweight and expensive process on to your business; I adapt to your workflow/processes. I work directly with stakeholders so that we can identify core challenges and iterate. This allows me to solve your problems quickly without interfering with your day-to-day.
- Features delivered fast: Working directly with stakeholdes (product or founders), I can identify challanges and build solutions.
- NLP/LLMs: I have been working with NLP and LLMs for over 5 years. I have built and deployed systems that use LLMs to solve real world problems. I have experience with a variety of LLMs including OpenAI, Cohere, and Anthropic.
- Architectural Design and Implementation: I leverage my experience both at large companies and startups to design systems that most fit your needs. In early to mid-stage start ups it is important to design a system that is pragmatic, dynamic, and cost effective; while at scale those needs are very different. My priority is to meet your business' current needs.
About me:
I have been writing software for 25 years; professionally for 15. My career has spanned a myriad of industries: defenese, healthcare, self driving, crypto, NLP, and compliance. Most recently I started Litlingo in early 2019 and raised ~$10mm and brought the company to ~$1mm in ARR.
I started Smartfast Labs to bring the experience and skills I have learned over my career in Silicon Valley to companies that ordinarily wouldn't have access to my skillset.
I'm currently most interested in working with startups and small companies that are looking to leverage LLMs, AI, and Chat Bots to solve real world problems.. I love writing software and solving real business problems contact me if you'd like to work together.
Pricing:
Unlike traditional hourly arrangements, I require a minimum monthly commitment of $1,000. This approach allows me to provide consistent, dedicated support to your projects without the constraints of hourly billing. I stand firmly behind the value I deliver—if at the end of any month the workload didn't justify the full retainer amount, I'll discount your invoice. This ensures you always receive fair value for your investment while maintaining our collaborative partnership.
My retainer rate is: $225/hour for the first 10 hours of work per month. After that, I will bill at $175/hour.
Any work outside of a retainer will be billed at: $350/hour, $2500/day, $10000/week.
