Build the right thing, faster
— with software and AI
I'm Will Forty — an engineer and founder with two decades across fintech, banking, and AI. I partner with founders to turn ideas into products, and with engineering teams to ship faster with AI.
Two ways to work together. Which one sounds like you?
For founders
Founder Technical Partner
You're turning an idea or your expertise into a product and you have no technical team. I become the technical half of your venture — the decisions, the build, and the AI — on a simple monthly partnership.

AI Acceleration Sprint
You have a funded engineering team that needs to ship faster. In 2–3 weeks I install a working AI-assisted engineering system — tuned to your codebase — with patterns that stick once I'm gone.
