One personin place of anentire tech team.

I'm Donizeti Ferreira. For a flat monthly fee I take over your company's engineering: I build what's missing, automate what's manual, keep what already runs from breaking, and own the day-to-day. Not an agency, not project freelancing — one person, under contract, inside your operation.

How this is possible

How one person does
the work that
used to need a team.

The honest answer isn't that I work like ten people. It's that the part which took ten became machine — and what's left is exactly the part no machine does.

BECAME MACHINECAN'T BE DELEGATEDMEA TEAM'S WORKLOAD
01

Agentic AI engineering

Agents running fronts in parallel — code, tests, review, documentation — under my specification and my review. The volume that used to need a team became orchestration.

02

Automated pipeline

Automated tests, continuous integration and delivery, a staging environment and rollback ready. Ship several times a week without taking down what was standing.

03

No management layer

There's no product owner, agile master or account manager in the way. What an agency spends on alignment meetings is execution time here.

04

What I don't delegate

Judgement: what to build, what isn't worth it, where the process will break, and when the right answer is not to do it. No machine decides that — which is why there's still a person here.

Software isn't just writing it.
It's staying up afterwards.

Every change goes through the same pipeline before it reaches your customer. That's what makes it safe to ship several times a week without breaking what already worked.

The bind

Technology is
a monthly demand.
Hiring isn't.

FIXED COSTYOUR DEMANDACROSS THE MONTHSPAYING FOR IDLETHE QUEUE STALLS
YOUR DEMANDFIXED COSTPAYING FOR IDLE · THE QUEUE STALLS
  • 01

    Hiring a developer is slow, costly and risky

    Salary, payroll taxes, benefits and the risk of hiring wrong — for demand that swings from month to month.

  • 02

    Agencies bill by the hour and by the head

    You pay for a product owner, an agile master and an account manager just to reach the developer. And every new request reopens the negotiation.

  • 03

    The improvement queue never moves

    The "when there's time" list grows every month. With nobody accountable for it, it doesn't move — it just ages along with the system.

How the price is set

I don't send
proposals.

A proposal is a document a vendor writes to justify a price they already picked. Here it works the other way around.

WITH A PROPOSALYOU ASKYOU WAITPDF ARRIVESYOU NEGOTIATEHEREYOU GIVE THE BUDGETI SAY WHAT FITSWHAT YOU SAVE
01

You tell me the need

On WhatsApp, however it comes out. No finished scope or document required: describing the problem is enough for me to size it.

02

You tell me the budget

What your company can invest per month. Saying the number first doesn't make you pay more: it makes the conversation take a day instead of three weeks.

03

I tell you what fits inside it

Which fronts I cover at that level, at what pace, and what stays out. If nothing worthwhile fits, I say so right away — at no cost.

How it starts

A trial month, no penalty and no lock-in. If it doesn't make sense, it ends.

How it ends

30 days' notice, from either side. Nothing is held hostage by a contract.

What's yours

All code in your repository and credentials in your vault, from day one.

Exclusivity

I take few contracts at a time. That's what makes fast replies possible.

Tell me what I need

One-off projects with a fixed scope are possible too — but for recurring demand they usually cost more, because you pay to reopen the negotiation on every request. There's a floor for the contract to pay for itself.

Compared with the alternatives

The three ways to solve this.

An honest comparison: hiring in-house makes sense when the demand fills someone's week, every week. An agency makes sense when the volume needs several people in parallel. Between those two is where I'm the cheaper answer.

A typical month

What happens between one invoice and the next.

No week is only meetings, and none is only code. Keeping what already exists alive is inside the contract — the part one-off projects leave orphaned.

  1. Week 1

    Priority set

    • Agreeing what goes into the month
    • First front already in development
  2. Week 2

    Building

    • Development of the main front
    • Adjustments the operation asked for along the way
  3. Week 3

    In production

    • What's ready goes live
    • Watching the first days closely
  4. Week 4

    Maintenance and review

    • Reviewing the month's alerts and failures
    • What didn't fit opens the next month

Proof

My code
running without me.

In a continuous contract the question isn't whether I deliver — it's whether what I deliver stays up on its own. No client is named here, because none agreed to be a showcase. What's below is what anyone can verify without taking my word for it.

Worth calling me if

  • Your company has technology demand every month, not once a year
  • You want someone accountable for what already runs, not only for the new
  • You prefer predictable cost over a quote for every request
  • You want to talk directly to whoever does the work

Not worth it if

  • You need one thing, well defined, and never again
  • The demand fills someone's week — then hiring is the better answer
  • The volume needs several people in parallel from month one
  • The deciding factor is the lowest price on the market

How it starts

From first contact
to the first month.

No step here is a meeting to schedule a meeting. If at any point it's clear it isn't worth it, I'll say so — and the conversation ends at no cost.

  1. Same week

    Conversation

    You tell me what the company needs. No sales deck, no slides.

  2. A few days

    Assessment

    I look at what already exists and tell you what can be solved, in what order.

  3. No commitment

    Agreement

    We set the monthly fee from your budget, and what it covers.

  4. No lock-in

    First month

    It starts. If it doesn't make sense, it ends with no penalty.

Before you decide

The questions
that always come.

Can one person really do a team's work?

A small team's work, yes — and that's exactly why I limit how many contracts I take. What changed is the proportion: today most of the effort in a project is deciding, specifying and reviewing, and that part was always one person's job. If your demand needs several people in parallel from the start, I'll say so in the first conversation.

Who writes the code: you or the AI?

Both, and I answer for the result. I use agents to produce volume, but nothing reaches production without passing automated tests and my review. If it breaks, the problem is mine — not the tool's.

Why don't you send proposals?

Because a proposal is a document that exists to justify a price already chosen, and it costs two weeks for both of us. I'd rather know your budget and tell you straight away what fits inside it. You save time and I don't spend mine assembling a PDF.

Is there a minimum?

There is a level from which the contract sustains itself, because I absorb the infrastructure and AI tooling costs behind that pace. I'll tell you the figure in the first message, before you invest any time — and if your budget is below it, I'd rather say so than deliver badly.

Is it a block of hours?

No. Counting hours makes you think twice before calling me, which is the opposite of what a continuous contract should produce. What we agree on is the month's priority; whatever doesn't fit opens the next month.

What if I need very little in a given month?

The month turns into maintenance, improvements and the "when there's time" queue that never moves. A continuous contract rarely has an empty month — it has months where the work is less visible.

My company already has an IT team. Does this make sense?

Usually more, not less. In-house teams spend their days firefighting and the project queue doesn't move. I come in as extra capacity on specific fronts, without competing for space with whoever is already there.

Do I own the code?

You do, from day one: your repository, credentials in your vault, operational documentation included. If the contract ends, nothing stops working and nobody is held hostage.

Tell me what your company
needs every month.

In the first conversation I'll tell you whether a monthly contract pays for itself in your case — and when it doesn't, I'll say that too. No proposal, no sales deck, no runaround.
