i.
Fast execution
Working solutions in weeks, not quarters. Once we start, you see real progress fast.
Forward deployed engineer
Peter
Peržo.
I build software, deploy AI, and ship automations for the founders, operators, and partners running real businesses.
№ 01The Practice
Forward
deployed
engineering.
Forward deployed means I do not build and disappear. I embed for months. Long enough to learn how the business actually runs — the workarounds, the edge cases, the parts no one writes down. What I ship fits that reality, not the slide-deck version of it.
ii.
Right tool for the job
Tech that actually fits — not whatever's trending. The latest models when they earn their place; proven, boring tools the rest of the time.
iii.
Fully present
Slack, WhatsApp, calls, your office — however you work, that's how I work. Embedded with your business, your team, and your constraints.
iv.
End to end
I think about the whole picture — from database to UI to what happens when this breaks Saturday night and you're at dinner.
№ 02The Engagement
How we'd
start.
Most engagements move through three phases. The shape is fixed; the work is not.
Week 1
Phase i.
Pilot week
A short paid pilot. We pick one real problem, I build something concrete, and you see exactly how I work before committing further. If we're not a fit, we both know fast — and you keep what I built.
Months 1-6
Phase ii.
Embedded
If we both want to keep going, I take on roughly 40 hours of focused work per month with your team. Six-month minimum — because real change doesn't happen in two-week sprints. Regular contact, not constant: no daily standups, no recurring planning meetings, no noise for noise's sake. Just shipping, and an honest check-in when priorities need to shift.
Month 6+
Phase iii.
Whatever makes sense
Some clients keep me embedded indefinitely. Others have me build the thing, document it, train someone internal, and step back. Both are fine — the goal is your business running better, not me staying forever.
I work with a small number of clients at a time. If we're a fit, I want to be in deep. If we're not, I'll tell you straight and point you to someone who is.
