AI-Powered Shipping

From idea to working MVP in 24–72 hours. AI for architecture, debugging, and iteration — not just autocomplete. Code that scales beyond the demo.

Hackathon Mentoring

PoC scoping. Software architecture. Prioritization under pressure. Helping teams ship what actually matters before the clock runs out.

SYS_03

EU Tech Sovereignty

The Demo
Scalpel.

A three-step scope-cutting method I teach hackathon teams so the demo actually ships. Named because it removes, precisely.

01. Find the wow.

The one demo moment judges and users will remember. Everything else serves it.

02. Cut everything else.

Kill features before writing code. AI as co-pilot on what remains — architecture, debugging, iteration.

03. Walk it in 3 minutes.

If you can't walk the demo in three minutes, cut more. Rehearse until you can.

One wow moment > five half-features.

The Demo Scalpel in one line. Judges and users remember one impressive thing — build that.
