“Adriano is a rare type of engineer who excels, not just in his technical domain, but as a solution-driven collaborative member of the team. I am continually impressed with his ability to create robust products in incredibly short time frames AND to provide smart solutions that improved both our internal efficiency and user experience.”
No Compromises on Quality
Practices built over the years that help deliver reliable, maintainable software your team can depend on.
Quality
Reliable code and tests where appropriate. I focus on stability and maintainability so your software remains dependable over time.
Documentation
Clear context and handover for your team. All deliverables include sufficient documentation and comments for easy onboarding and future changes.
Improvement
I leave the system in better shape than I found it. Technical debt is addressed incrementally with every feature or change I make.
“Adriano is an extremely qualified and results-oriented professional, as a developer he is in search of constant learning and values the software quality and design patterns. As a person he is a simple and humble guy who is always willing to help and contribute in any situation. It was a pleasure working with him and I hope we can work together again.”
Engineering as a Subscription
Custom software requires ongoing maintenance to stay secure and functional. I offer simple monthly subscriptions that cover everything from hosting to new feature development.
Standard
$3,499/monthI act as your dedicated developer for maintenance and new features. I function as your hands-on engineer—implementing changes, fixing bugs, and keeping your software healthy and secure. Beyond reactive work, I build the features you need when requirements are clear: UI improvements, new functionality, and performance updates. Your software stays modern and reliable while you focus on your business.
Keep your software running smoothly and build new features without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Best For:
- Post-launch MVPs that need steady feature development
- Internal tools that need regular updates and new functionality
- Businesses with clear requirements who need reliable development
Includes:
Excludes: Architectural strategy, database design decisions, or complex technical planning
Pro
$6,999/monthFull engineering partnership with architectural leadership. I function as your Lead Engineer and Fractional Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Beyond building features, I architect the technical strategy, make database design decisions, and plan the roadmap. I am actively building new Intellectual Property (IP), improving performance, and shipping features that drive revenue.
Ship new value to users and solve complex engineering challenges with strategic technical leadership.
Best For:
- Startups seeking product-market fit (rapid iteration)
- Scale-ups needing to refactor legacy code for performance
- Founders who need architectural decisions and technical strategy

Why I Might Not Be a Good Fit
Transparency matters. This way of working is not for everyone—here is when I might not be the right fit.
Daily stand-ups required
You require daily stand-ups or very frequent synchronous check-ins.
Hourly invoicing needed
You need detailed hourly invoicing or line-item breakdowns for accounting.
Large on-site team needed
You need a large, on-site team dedicated full-time to a single project.
One-off task only
You need a single quick task, not an ongoing partnership or subscription.
Your Questions Answered
Common questions about the subscription model and how I work with you.
How many hours do I get each month?
I do not bill by the hour, and I do not track hours. My focus is on delivering results at a consistently high level of quality. A fixed monthly fee provides predictability and aligns my incentives with yours—faster, better delivery benefits you. If you are accustomed to hourly billing, the 14-day money-back guarantee allows you to try the model with no risk.
How often will you and I communicate?
On the Standard plan, I schedule an alignment call with you every two weeks. On the Pro plan, I meet with you weekly. Between calls, you have direct access via Slack or Trello for questions and updates. I respond within 24 business hours (and usually much sooner).
May I pause the subscription?
Yes. You may pause when needed—for example, during a slow month or when you are on vacation. Unused days in your current billing cycle are saved as credit for when you return. There are no long-term contracts; renewal is monthly.
What if I need to explain something in detail?
That is perfectly fine. Record a short video using Loom or another tool and share it with me. I value context and clarity. If something remains unclear after reviewing your materials, you and I can schedule a brief call as needed.
