Leads every nuube engagement from the first scoping call through final deploy — the one accountable point of contact a founder actually talks to, start to finish.
Before nuube, led engineering delivery on production systems in fintech and edtech, where a missed deadline or a broken release had real financial and operational consequences. That same judgment now sets the scope, the timeline, and the bar for what "done" means on a fixed-price MVP.
The founding bet behind nuube: most early-stage products don't fail because the idea was bad, they fail because the first build took too long, cost too much, or solved the wrong problem. Every engagement starts by agreeing on the one thing that has to be true for a launch to count as a win — and holding the line on everything else until it's earned.

- What to ask a dev shop before you sign anything
Six questions that separate a partner who'll ship your MVP from one who'll just take the deposit.
- Fixed price vs. hourly: why MVP development shouldn't be billed like consulting
Hourly billing is the right model for open-ended work. An MVP isn't open-ended work. Billing it that way imports risk that doesn't need to exist.
- Why nuube starts every engagement with a fixed quote, not an estimate
An estimate protects the person giving it. A fixed quote protects the person paying it. Our pricing model is built around which one that should be.
