Your Project is
Off the Rails
I help founders and teams RESCUE website and web app projects that have gone off track. Because great ideas deserve execution that delivers results.
No direction.
No MOMENTUM.
Just a team wondering how things went so wrong.
That’s your project right now – a brilliant idea, but execution that’s completely off the rails.
And with deadlines looming and budgets tightening, you can’t afford to waste time or resources on a project that’s lost its way.
Whether you’re building an MVP or scaling a mature product, I’ll help you get your project back on track. I’ll streamline the process, refocus the team, and deliver a website or web app that actually works.
Because after years of building and rescuing projects, I know exactly what teams need – and it’s not another overpriced consultant or a never-ending agency process.
Your Project is Off the Rails.
Yeah, I said it.
Most web and app projects start strong, then derail—bloated timelines, broken processes, and stressed-out teams. I’ve been there. I fix that.
I specialize in
PROJECT RESCUE
but not in a one-size-fits-all way.
Your startup’s web app needs different solutions than a website.
Your e-commerce platform needs a different approach than a SaaS tool.
What matters is what works for YOUR project. Your team. Your timeline.
After years of rescuing projects, I know success isn’t about following trends – it’s about getting your project back on track and delivering results
P.S. And yes, I can still handle the crazy stuff. Just crazy stuff that actually works.
Here’s what industry leaders and team members say about how I’ve helped them get back on track.
Real talk from people who know exactly what separates chaos from clarity.
They’ve seen my obsession with clear communication, my track record of rescuing projects, and my zero-tolerance policy for wasted time and resources.
Let's figure out what the REAL goals of the project are, and get everyone on track.

You’re already over budget.
The last thing you need is:
A $150k/year consultant (bye-bye runway) A flaky freelancer (bye-bye deadlines) Another overpriced agency (bye-bye patience) An endless process (bye-bye sanity)
$4000/mo gets you structured, predictable project rescue that respects your budget.
No scope creep. No endless meetings. Just a clear path forward and a project that’s back on track.
Before we begin, let's chat and see if I'm a good fit.
This free diagnostic meeting is the first step to determine if I’m the right fit for your project. During this meeting, we’ll identify the root causes of the issues, discuss your goals, and outline a potential path forward. If it’s not a good fit, I’ll be upfront and may even recommend other solutions or professionals who can help.

FAQs
Scope of Services
-
Project rescue involves identifying where the project has gone off track, whether it’s due to miscommunication, unclear goals, poor execution, or technical debt. My focus is on fixing communication gaps, realigning the team (both client and vendor) on the most critical priorities, and ensuring the design and development are aligned with the client’s business goals. This could include redesigning parts of the website, refactoring code, or redefining the project scope.
-
Yes, I can handle both. My background in web design, UX, and development (PHP/Python) allows me to bridge the gap between design and technical execution. However, my primary role is to ensure the project is refocused and realigned, not necessarily to take over all design or development work unless needed.
Process and Timeline
-
The timeline depends on the complexity of the project and how far off track it is. Typically, I aim to stabilize the project within 2-4 weeks, with clear milestones and deliverables. Full realignment and delivery of the redesigned website or app may take 2-6 months, depending on the scope.
-
The process starts with a free diagnostic meeting to assess the current state of the project. From there, I’ll create a tailored plan that includes:
Communication fixes: Streamlining communication between the client and vendor.
Goal realignment: Refocusing on the client’s business objectives.
Technical and design review: Identifying and addressing bottlenecks in the design or codebase.
Execution: Delivering a clear path forward with measurable milestones.
Team Collaboration
-
I don’t take over the project entirely unless necessary. Instead, I work collaboratively with your existing team to ensure they’re aligned and empowered to execute the plan. My role is to provide clarity, direction, and support, not to replace your team.
-
Resistance is common in troubled projects. I address this by involving the team in the diagnostic process, listening to their concerns, and clearly communicating the benefits of the new approach. My goal is to build trust and buy-in, not to force changes.
Communication and Transparency
-
I provide weekly progress updates, including a summary of completed tasks, upcoming milestones, and any risks or blockers. I’m also available for ad-hoc check-ins as needed.
-
If you’re not satisfied with the direction, we’ll adjust the approach immediately. My process is iterative, so we can pivot as needed to ensure the project stays aligned with your goals.
Post-Rescue Support
-
Yes, I can provide ongoing support or transition the project back to your team with clear documentation and processes in place. If needed, I can also recommend trusted partners for long-term maintenance.
-
Before concluding my involvement, I’ll ensure your team has the tools, processes, and clarity to continue executing effectively. This includes documentation, training, and a clear roadmap.
Risk Management
-
I proactively identify risks during the diagnostic phase and create contingency plans. If unexpected challenges arise, I’ll communicate them immediately and work with your team to find solutions. My goal is to minimize surprises and keep the project moving forward.
-
Scope changes are common in troubled projects. I’ll work with you to assess the impact of any changes and adjust the plan accordingly, ensuring we stay focused on your goals.
Experience and Expertise
-
Yes, I’ve worked on numerous projects where communication breakdowns or misaligned goals caused delays or failures. For example, I once rescued an e-commerce platform where the vendor and client were at odds over feature priorities. By refocusing on the client’s revenue goals and simplifying the scope, we delivered a streamlined MVP that increased conversions by 30%.
-
I’ve worked across industries, including e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, and enterprise platforms. My experience spans startups to large organizations, so I’m comfortable with both fast-paced, scrappy environments and complex, regulated industries.
Cost and Value
-
Yes, the $4000/month fee covers my time and expertise in rescuing your project. There are no hidden costs, but if additional resources (e.g., third-party tools, contractors) are needed, we’ll discuss and agree on those upfront.
-
The ROI depends on the project, but my goal is to deliver a product that aligns with your business goals and generates measurable results (e.g., increased revenue, user engagement, or reduced costs). For example, in past projects, I’ve helped clients save tens of thousands of dollars by avoiding unnecessary features or rework.
Technical Expertise
-
I specialize in PHP and Python for backend development, and I’m experienced with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue.js). I’ve worked with platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and custom web apps. I also have expertise in SEO, performance optimization, and accessibility.
-
Yes, part of the rescue process often involves addressing technical debt. I’ll identify areas where the codebase is slowing progress and recommend solutions, whether it’s refactoring, optimizing, or rebuilding certain components.
Urgency and Availability
-
I can typically start within 1-2 weeks, depending on my current commitments. If your project is urgent, I’ll prioritize it and adjust my schedule accordingly.
-
Yes, I limit the number of clients I work with to ensure I can give each project the attention it deserves. During the rescue phase, your project will be my top priority.
