The Embedded Architect.
A senior architect embedded in your team, shipping production AI features on a steady cadence — with senior review on everything that ships. Sustained senior delivery, without a hire.
€7,500 / month
Month to month, one month’s notice. No setup fee, no minimum beyond the first month.
What it is
One pod: a senior architect embedded in your product — your repository, your CI, your standup — with senior review on every release. Not a project thrown over a wall; a senior engineer working inside your codebase, shipping the AI features your roadmap keeps deferring because doing them safely is not a weekend job.
What it ships
Production AI features on a steady cadence — the same class of work as wintura.ai: LLM pipelines with validation guardrails, multi-tenant data isolation with Row-Level Security, payment flows, audit trails, e-signature, white-label portals. Tested with Playwright, monitored with Sentry, shipped GDPR-aligned on zero-retention model APIs.
Cadence
A weekly shipped increment, a short written update, and senior review on everything that merges. You always know what shipped, what is next, and why.
Who is on it
Senior architects only, matched to the expertise your project needs — multi-tenant data, LLM reliability, payments, infrastructure — and adjusted as the work changes. No juniors, no offshore hand-off. You know which architect is on your project, and why, before work starts.
What it replaces
A senior hire you cannot fill in a quarter, a staff-aug contractor you have to manage, or a roadmap item that keeps slipping.

How it starts and stops
Start with a scoping call, then a fixed-scope first month. Continue month to month. Stop with one month’s notice and full handoff documentation — you own all code and IP from day one.
