Book a Slot

A senior engineer in your corner, when you need one

Stuck on something?
Book a slot.
We’ll help.

You’re building with AI and it’s going well. Until something breaks, or you’re not sure if what you built is right. Book a live session with a senior engineer who’ll look at your project, answer your questions honestly, and help you find a clear way forward.

Not sure yet? Ask a question

The problem

AI writes code fast, but it can’t tell you if it’s right

You built features in hours. But is the login secure? Will the database hold up? AI doesn’t know, and neither do you.

Every unanswered question costs you a day

You stop building. You search Stack Overflow, ask ChatGPT, rewrite the same thing three times. One conversation with someone who’s seen it before could save you the whole detour.

You just need the right person for one conversation

Hiring takes months and costs six figures. A subscription locks you in. Sometimes all you need is an experienced person who’ll look at your project and help you figure out what’s next.

If this is you

You built your product with Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT. It works. Mostly.

You’ve hit something you can’t Google your way out of. The AI gives you ten different answers, and you have no way to tell which one is actually right.

You just want someone experienced to look at it with you and tell you honestly what needs attention.

That’s what we’re here for.

What it looks like in practice

session #1 / Quick diagnosis
Q

My Stripe webhook keeps failing silently. I’ve been stuck for two days.

A

Looked at it together.

  • → Webhook signature verification was missing, so events were being silently rejected
  • → Talked through the fix on the call and how to test it

Clear direction, no guesswork

session #2 / Architecture guidance
Q

I need to add multi-tenancy but I don’t know where to start.

A

Laid out a clear plan together.

  • → Picked the simplest approach that fits your stage
  • → Broke it into three steps you can follow on your own
  • → Left the call knowing exactly where to start

From confused to confident

What we help you figure out

I don’t know where to start

You know what you want, but not how to structure it. We plan it with you so you leave the session with a clear path forward.

Something’s been broken for weeks

That bug AI keeps getting wrong. We talk through what’s actually going on so you know what to do next.

My payments keep failing

Subscriptions, refunds, invoicing, checkout flows. These are easy to get wrong and hard to debug alone. We look at your setup together and talk through what needs to change.

Is my app safe for real users?

Login flows, password security, who can access what. We review what you’ve built and help you see what might need attention.

It works here but not online

Your app runs fine on your computer but breaks when you put it on the internet. Hosting, domain setup, errors that only happen online. We help you figure out what’s going wrong and how to get it live.

I need to connect another service

Email providers, payment processors, analytics, CRMs. Your app needs to talk to other tools, and getting the wiring wrong wastes days. We walk through the setup with you so you’re not guessing.

My app is getting slow

Pages take forever, things time out, it crashes when too many people show up. We talk through what might be causing it and what your options are.

I want to add AI to my product

Chatbots, automations, AI-powered features. Plenty of tutorials get you to a demo. We help you think through what it takes to go beyond that.

Your engineer

The Founder

I’ve been building software and running my own companies since 2010. Along the way I’ve helped large businesses keep their apps safe and working for millions of users. Turns out, the same instincts that keep large systems running are exactly what founders need when their AI-built product starts growing. That’s why I started Shipsteady — so you can get senior engineering guidance without hiring a full team.

Working together

Code is only part of the job.

Clear Communication

We talk through what’s happening in your project in plain language. No jargon, no guessing. You’ll know what we did and what to focus on next.

Business-First Thinking

We care about your business goals, not just the code. If something simple gets you to launch faster, that’s what we’ll recommend.

Adaptable Problem-Solving

Every project is different. Broken payments, messy auth, scaling issues. We’ve seen a lot and we’re not afraid to dig in.

Common questions

A focused, 1-on-1 live call. You share your screen, walk through your project, and ask whatever’s on your mind. We look at your setup together and talk through what’s working and what isn’t.
Regular slots are booked 48+ hours ahead (€199). Priority slots are available within the next 48 hours (€329).
More than you’d think. Most questions get a clear answer in a single call. For bigger topics like restructuring your whole project, we’ll scope it together and you can book follow-up sessions as needed.
You’ll share what you’re working on and what you need help with when you book. No briefs or scoping documents, just the basics. Access to your project during the call helps but isn’t required.
Spas, the founder. Every session is with the same senior engineer. 15+ years of experience across identity systems, enterprise platforms, and product development.
Most likely, yes. We’ve worked across a wide range of tools and languages. When you book, you share what your project is built with. If we review it and feel we can’t help, we’ll decline the session and refund you in full.
Most of our sessions are with founders who built something with AI tools and need a second pair of eyes. We explain things in plain language, not jargon. You don’t need to know the terminology to get value from a call.
A senior engineer with 15+ years of experience typically charges €200–400 per session on the consulting market. You’re getting focused, project-specific guidance, not generic advice. One session often saves you days of searching and guessing on your own.
AI tools are good at writing code, but they can’t tell you when something is a bad idea. They never say “I don’t know” or “this is risky.” A session gives you a human who looks at your specific situation and gives you an honest opinion.
Freelancers scope projects, write proposals, and charge for deliverables. This is simpler. You book a slot, join the call, and get answers. No onboarding, no proposals, no waiting for availability. And you always talk to the same person.
Book another slot. No penalty or lock-in. Most people get the clarity they need in one call, but complex projects sometimes need a few sessions.
No. You pay per slot. No recurring charges, no commitments, no lock-in. Book when you need help.
We don’t write code for you or take on work between sessions. This is guidance: expert help, project review, and problem-solving in a live session. You do the building.
