How I Can Help You Build & Scale Your Product
From idea to execution, I help companies turn concepts into reality, scale their technology, and overcome development challenges. 🚀 Whether you need rapid prototyping, a strategic CTO, or expert intervention to fix and optimize existing projects, I provide the technical expertise to accelerate your success.
Product Development & Scaling
I provide end-to-end custom software development, mobile applications development (iOS and Android), backend infrastructure setup, web development, AI systems integration, and hardware integration. Whether you need a new product from scratch or enhancements to an existing one, I ensure seamless integration, scalability, and performance
Rapid Prototyping & MVP Development
Transform your innovative ideas into functional prototypes quickly! I specialize in developing proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions and creating minimum viable products (MVPs) for software-centric products. My focus is on helping you turn your vision into reality by rapidly building prototypes that allow you to test and validate your ideas. By doing so, you can attract potential investors, gather user feedback, and refine your product, ultimately speeding up the process of getting to market and gaining a competitive edge.
CTO as a Service
Gain strategic technical leadership without the full-time cost. I help early-stage startups define their tech roadmap, manage development teams, and make key architectural decisions to set the foundation for long-term success.
Project Rescue & Optimization
Inherit a messy codebase? Struggling with unreliable systems? I step in to diagnose issues, refactor code, and get your project back on track—whether it’s fixing bugs, improving performance, or completing unfinished work.
Telmo's work on my project was of the highest quality. I would highly recommend anybody to hire him for any IOS or Android work that you need doing. It's not very often that you encounter someone with the skills, the vision and the attitude to ensure that the finished product is A+.
