Available for contract, consulting, and focused build work
I build software, engineer AI workflows, and turn messy ideas into shippable systems.
I work with founders, teams, and organizations that need more than a surface-level developer. If you need a real engineering partner to design, build, automate, and steady the whole system, that is the work I do.
About me
An engineer who likes hard problems and clear outcomes.
I am Justin Rutkowski. I build digital products for people who need software that actually works in the real world, not just in a mockup.
My lane sits at the intersection of software engineering, product thinking, and applied AI. That means I can help with the architecture, the interface, the backend logic, the automation, and the final delivery, all in one flow.
If you are hiring for a prototype, a production feature, a rescue project, or an AI-assisted workflow that saves your team real time, I can help you move it forward.
Services
Where I can help most.
Software Engineering
Custom features, internal tools, APIs, backend systems, database work, bug fixing, and production hardening.
AI Product Work
LLM-powered features, prompt workflows, retrieval systems, assistants, and human-friendly AI experiences.
Automation
Replace repetitive manual work with reliable automations, integrations, and lightweight systems your team can actually use.
Project Rescue
When a project is messy, fragile, or half-shipped, I can help stabilize the code, simplify the plan, and get it moving again.
Process
How I usually work.
Clarify the goal
We define the outcome, the constraints, and what success actually looks like.
Design the simplest strong plan
I cut through extra complexity and map the fastest path to a reliable result.
Build and refine
I implement, test, iterate, and keep the work grounded in real product needs.
Ship with confidence
You leave with something working, understandable, and much easier to maintain.
Contact
Tell me what you want to build, fix, or automate.
Send the basics and I will review the project. If it is a fit, I will follow up with next steps.
Good projects for this form
- You need an engineer to build or finish a web product.
- You want an AI feature or automation that solves a real workflow problem.
- Your codebase is messy and you need help stabilizing or shipping it.
- You want a technical partner who can both think and execute.
