Set up an engineer to ship with agentic tools, then walked through a real build together.

A developer with engineering background wanted to ship his first app with modern agentic CLI tools. A focused 1-month engagement: set up the environment properly, walked through agent orchestration in real work, and shipped a real build together as proof. Left with transferable patterns for future projects on any stack.

The problem

Engineers who know how to code don’t automatically know how to ship with agentic tools. The leverage is in environment setup, prompting patterns, guardrails, and knowing when to let an agent run versus when to take the wheel. Without that, the tools sit underused or produce code nobody wants to maintain.

The approach

Set up Claude Code and Codex with the right rules and project conventions. Walked through agent orchestration in real work — when to spawn multiple agents, when to constrain scope, how to review what an agent produced. Shipped one real app together as the proof point. Patterns transfer to any stack, any future project.

Outcomes

  • 1-month engagement
  • Developer shipped his first agent-built app end to end
  • Transferable patterns for future projects on any stack
  • Foundation for ongoing relationship as new tools emerge
I was lucky to get to work with Cristian. He’s knowledgeable, a great communicator, produces quality work, delivers quickly, and is flexible when you need to be. I could go on and on. I hope to get to work with him in the future.
