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.
What I do
Forward Deployed Engineering
"Forward deployed" means I don't 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.

Right Tool for the Job
Tech that actually fits — not whatever's trending. The latest AI when it earns its place, proven tools the rest of the time.

Fully Present
Slack, WhatsApp, calls, your office — however you work, that's how I work. Embedded with your business and your constraints.

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."

The process
How We'd Start
Most engagements look like this:
- Step 01 Week 1
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.
- Step 02 Months 1-6
Embedded (6 months minimum)
If we both want to keep going, I take on roughly 40 hours of focused work per month with your team. Six months minimum - because real change doesn't happen in two weeks of 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.
- Step 03 Month 6+
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.
