Use your own words.
Tell me how the work happens today, where people get stuck, and what you wish they could do. You don’t need a technical specification.
Chase Poirier · Founder, TheShop.ai
The person building with you.
I help people turn the problems they understand into software businesses of their own.
Over ten years, I’ve worked with founders from the first lines of code through launch and years of product changes. You work directly with me through that process.

How we work together
Bring the problem. We’ll work through it together.
See the work take shape.
We talk through the decisions and review working software. You can follow the work without managing an engineering project.
Keep learning after launch.
Customer questions and real usage help us decide what to improve. I stay involved in the product and technical work.
Good products take a relationship
The first version is a starting point.
I’ve seen how much the work changes once customers depend on a product, and how valuable it is to have someone stay involved.
Karen Webber’s accounting process became FraudFindr, with me as the initial technical partner. I stayed with the product as it grew and continued working with the team after Bonadio acquired her firm. That relationship later expanded into CareFindr.
I’ve also built with the founders behind Directorly, PeakBound, and Magnet, and worked alongside Stripe’s product-demo team. The work has ranged from shaping a first release to supporting established engineering teams.
How the relationship continued with CareFindrA design partner’s perspective
“Chase was the only software engineer I was willing to trust with the project.”

The tools change
I’m responsible for the work.
AI helps with parts of development. The product decisions, technical judgment, and testing still need someone responsible for the result.
You should know what is being built, what needs your input, and what has changed. The point is useful software for the people you serve.
