Full-Stack Engineering (Two Week Sprint)Doug Silkstone
Work directly with a senior full-stack engineer and entrepreneur to design, build, and scale your product fast.
I help funded founders (and those gearing up to raise) go from vision to launch with hands-on engineering, product strategy, and growth automation - all in one tight sprint.
With 15+ years of experience and a track record helping startups raise over $20M, I act as your technical partner, not just a coder. Trusted by TechStars Alumni and London Venture Partners backed teams.
What's included
Architecture & Technical Foundations
Full audit or design of your stack: data model, API/Routing, hosting/infra, CI/CD, deployment plan - delivered as architecture diagram + doc. Scalability & security baseline: schema review, auth & permissions, rate-limiting, production deployment plan, code quality standards.
Core Product Delivery
Build or optimize up to 3 key features (or ~X story-points) - includes clean, tested code, documentation, and staging → production deployment. Critical bug triage & fixes: stabilize the product, ensure core flows work reliably, address blockers.
Developer Infrastructure & Workflow
Set up or improve your development process: Git repo cleanup, branch/workflow strategy, CI/CD, staging + production pipelines, deployment automation, environment management. Documentation & onboarding notes - codebase structure, deployment instructions, dev guidelines.
Product & Strategy Collaboration
1x kickoff alignment + up to 2 live strategy sessions during sprint (roadmap planning, hiring advice, technical decisions, product prioritization). Asynchronous support (Slack/email/chosen channel) during sprint to unblock issues, answer tech or product questions, advise on architecture, tooling, or build decisions.
Handoff & Next-Steps Delivery
Final codebase snapshot (clean, documented), deployment-ready environment, and a 3-6 month technical roadmap with priorities & risk notes. Hiring recommendations (if requested): candidate profile outline, role definition, expected cost/effort, and onboarding guidance.
Optional Add-Ons
Growth tools & automation setup (analytics wiring, webhooks, basic AI/chatbot integration). Analytics/hooks/monitoring setup (logging, error tracking, performance monitoring). Post-sprint maintenance or 2 weeks retainer for bug fixes or small tweaks.
FAQs
Founders and early-stage teams preparing to launch or raise a round — especially if you need a technical partner to move fast, make smart decisions, and build investor-ready software.
No - I help across product, technical, and growth domains. I've worked as a fractional CTO and bring experience in hiring, roadmap planning, architecture design, and even AI automation.
No problem - I specialize in 0→1. I'll help you choose the right stack, set up infrastructure, and build the first version fast.
I can integrate with your engineers, help review code, lead the technical direction, or temporarily fill a leadership gap while you scale.
I'm based in Europe (CET) but routinely work PST/EST hours. I'm flexible on scheduling and ensure overlap for calls and async updates.
