A little about me

I'm a software engineer and creative consultant building powerful tools for humans.

Your AI-first software engineer

Part of your team.

I work with your team, connect your tools, and build what’s missing. We start with one improvement you can measure.

Remove repeat admin, reduce costly mistakes, and make it easier for customers to buy. We choose the improvement that matters most to you.

See what that can include

Start with one workflow

Embedded software
engineering

From $1,000 / month

A working improvement to an agreed workflow, with the setup, testing, documentation, and training your team needs to use it.

We agree on deliverables, milestones, and price before starting. Once it works, we can tackle the next priority, move to lighter care, or hand it over.

Start with a $250 consultation
Ready to start the agreed $1,000 scope?

Monthly billing starts today. If you have a consultation credit, contact me before paying so I can adjust your first invoice.

Find the fit.

A workflow map, ranked priorities, and a clear delivery plan. Choose a target: faster replies, lower costs, more completed purchases, or fewer errors.

Connect the pieces.

Connected forms, customer records, reports, and follow-ups. Reduce repeat data entry, catch enquiries, and get reports without assembling them by hand.

Keep you in control.

Tested changes, clear instructions, and a walkthrough with your team. Know how to run what we build. Keep support while it helps, then scale it down or wrap it up.

How we’ll work together

We start with one small workflow. Before billing starts, we agree on the deliverables, milestones, and how we’ll check the result. For larger projects, we agree on a separate scope and price. We review progress each week and the result after 30 days.

When a new request comes up, we agree on a scope change or a separate fixed quote before work starts. Paid tools, hosting, travel, and specialist services cost extra unless we include them in your scope. Emergency and 24/7 support are not included.

A 90-day roadmap helps us plan ahead. It does not commit you to three months. Billing renews monthly until canceled. Contact me before renewal to stop the next period. If you need to stop sooner, our written agreement sets the handover and any credit for work not delivered.

You keep the work you’ve paid for and its documentation under the agreed licenses. We can agree on lighter care after launch. Business results are not guaranteed. Read the service terms.

A small first step

Let’s talk it through.

Bring the messy workflow, the idea, or the thing that keeps getting put off. We’ll spend 90 minutes finding the next change worth making.

Consultation · $250

One call. Clear advice. No subscription.

I’ll email you within one business day to find a time. Payment does not reserve a specific slot.

If we continue within 30 days, the $250 comes off your first embedded engineering invoice. I apply that credit before you pay. Assessment and the roadmap happen inside the engagement.

How we work

  1. Show me how you work.

    Start with a voice note. We look at the job with the people doing it and agree on what needs to improve. We record where things stand so we can measure the change.

  2. Build alongside you.

    We choose a goal for the next 30 days. I build with the tools you already use. We agree on the scope and check in each week.

  3. See what changed.

    Did it save time, reduce errors, or help sales? We check the result together. I show you how to run it, then we decide whether you need more help.

Embedded
software engineer

From $1,000 a month

When the website becomes part of a bigger workflow.

  • Custom software and databases
  • Stores, integrations, and automation

What’s included in Site and Build

I take care of hosting, DNS, and domain registration. Free email forwarding sends messages to the inbox you already use. A paid mailbox is optional and costs extra.

We set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Your site uses compressed images and a responsive layout for fast loading. It supports current Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Your site includes a contact page and working form, a thank-you page, and your contact details in the text. Search and sharing basics include unique titles and descriptions, a sitemap, robots.txt, alt text, a favicon, a custom 404, and a share image per page.

You also get an FAQ, structured data, privacy and terms pages, a cookie notice, and a clear next step on mobile.

I handle small fixes after launch. Standard domain registration and hosting are included. Premium domains and paid integrations cost extra. Around 100,000 monthly visits is a rough guide for hosting costs, not a fixed billing threshold. We review any extra hosting costs together.

We agree on scope, priorities, and timing before work starts. Site and Build cover website work. Embedded software engineering has its own agreed scope. Read the service terms.

Monthly billing starts at checkout. I’ll contact you within one business day to confirm scope and timing. Then we build your site together. Contact me before renewal to cancel. If you cancel, we’ll need to arrange continued hosting or a handoff.

Good questions.

Who is Dylan J. Harris?

Dylan J. Harris is a software engineer and creative consultant who builds useful tools for people. His work includes automation, Web3, and game development.

What is an embedded software engineer?

An embedded software engineer works alongside your team to understand the job, connect existing tools, and build useful improvements. It is the hands-on part of forward-deployed engineering, scoped for your business. We agree on a starting point and measure progress together.

What can we build together?

A personal or business website, an online store, a custom tool, or a better workflow. We start with the outcome: more revenue, time saved, or better quality. Then we choose the tools.

How much does a website cost?

Site is $100 a month and Build is $250 a month. For custom software and connected workflows, embedded engineering starts at $1,000 a month. One-time Personal and Business sites start at $1,800 and $2,800. Prices are in USD. We agree on scope before work begins.

What is included in a monthly website plan?

Site covers a hosted website, a first draft of the words and images, contact details, basic search setup, and small fixes after launch. Build adds ongoing changes. Custom software moves into an agreed embedded engineering scope. The plan details explain the limits.

Where should I start?

Book a $250, 90-minute consultation. We talk through your goals and choose a useful next step. If we continue within 30 days, Dylan credits the $250 toward your first embedded software engineering invoice before payment. Assessment, building, and ongoing support are part of that engagement.

Do I need to know which tools to use?

No. Send a short voice note or message with your goals, what you have tried, and what is getting in the way. We agree on what success looks like before we choose a tool.

Will I learn to manage what we build?

Yes. I work alongside you and explain the changes. The goal is to give you useful tools and the skills to run them. Ongoing help is available when you need it.
