From zero to shipped.

I build the first version of software products. Domain research, product definition, architecture, code, and launch. One person producing the output of a small engineering team using AI-native development.

Three ways to work together: a fixed-scope BA engagement to define what to build, an equity partnership to build it together, or a fractional CTO role to lead your existing team.

Pipeline

Business Analysis

From $7,500 · Fixed scope

Sequential phases, clear deliverables, defined end. Messy input in, structured output out.

Mesh

Build Partnership

Equity-based · 10–30%

Two origin nodes, shared ownership of everything. Neither can be removed without collapsing the graph.

Hub & Spoke

Fractional CTO

$3,000 – $25,000/mo + equity

High betweenness centrality. I connect things that otherwise wouldn't talk to each other.

How I Work

I use AI agents as my engineering team. One person produces the output of a small engineering org — domain research, product definition, architecture, full-stack code, DevOps, and operational setup. The method is the same across every domain.

Building software since 1994 across EdTech, government, digital media, fleet management, maritime logistics, and enterprise messaging.

Domain Decomposition Zero to competent in days. Competitive landscape, data sources, edge cases.
Product Definition Problem framing, MVP scope, requirements, BDD scenarios, data model.
Architecture + Build Full-stack code deployed to staging. Backend, frontend, data pipelines, APIs.
Launch Infrastructure CI/CD, monitoring, DNS, email, documentation. The gap between demo and product.

About

Michael O'Boyle. Based in Scranton, PA. Building software since 1994. I've shipped products across EdTech, government, digital media, fleet management, maritime logistics, and enterprise messaging.

I don't bill hours. I build things and share in the outcome.
