Technical partner for founders: ship fast now, keep shipping after launch.

I design and build web & mobile apps, internal tools, and integrations/automations, shipped in tight loops with clear scope so you reduce risk and move faster.

Portrait of Fabrizio D'Urso

I’m a technical partner who helps founders and ops-heavy teams at startups and SMBs cut costs and move faster by removing manual work and the friction between tools and data. Unlike generalist agencies and freelancers, I use a tight-scope method, weekly releases, and automation and agentic workflows.

Italy-based. Working with teams worldwide.

You want momentum without betting the company on vague specs.

  • Manual processes are slowing the business down.
  • You need an MVP shipped fast, but not fragile.
  • Specs are fuzzy and the team keeps going in circles.
  • Integrations and internal tools are becoming a bottleneck.

Let’s turn it into a clear plan and ship.

For / Not for

For

  • You can decide fast.
  • You want weekly demos and a real launch date.
  • You need a senior builder who ships end-to-end.

Not for

  • You want hourly work or unlimited tasks.
  • You’re exploring ideas without budget or owner.
  • You need a big agency team or 24/7 support.

Can we really launch in 30 days?

Yes if scope is focused. If it’s bigger, we split it into phases.

No. I only work with outcome-based packages.
