The Code Jeweller

Code, cut like a gem. Systems, built like they'll outlast you.
Gerard Aparicio Oliart — Marbella, where the sand is gold.
I · The Craft

Every line, set by hand.

I have been cutting code and design since I was sixteen. Two decades later the discipline hasn't changed: no framework where one line will do, no ornament that isn't structural, nothing shipped that I wouldn't sign.

I work the way a jeweller works — slowly, on one piece at a time, until the thing is exact. Futurist nerve, Benedictine patience. Ora et Labora: pray and work, then work some more.

What you get is not a template with your name on it. It is a piece made to your measure, finished to the last facet, quiet enough that only the people who matter will notice how much went into it.

II · The Services

What you walk away with.

You don't buy hours. You buy infrastructure that holds under load, data that stays correct, and systems that keep running when you stop thinking about them — the screen is the last five percent of the work.

Intelligence Layer

Agentic backends that decide, not just answer

Production LLM pipelines wired into your actual data and APIs — routing, retrieval, classification, decisioning — with retries, logging, and failure modes handled like any other service. Not a chatbot bolted onto a website.

Hours back, every week
Web & Platform

The interface, backed by something real

Fast, correct front ends wired to APIs and data models built to hold — not a static site with a form. What people touch is the surface of a system engineered underneath it.

Premium clients, lower friction
Automation & Systems

Infrastructure that runs unattended

Backend services, schedulers, and integrations between the tools you already use — built to fail loudly, recover quietly, and keep producing without a human in the loop.

The business runs while you don't
Proprietary & Agentic

The backend nobody else can sell you

Off-the-shelf software fits nobody exactly — so we build the proprietary layer: your own data pipelines, agentic workflows, and internal APIs, owned outright instead of rented from a vendor. This is the core of the practice — not a website with extra steps, a system only you hold the keys to.

Leverage no competitor can license
III · The Floor

Every evaluation your system runs is a cost. I bring that cost down.

A vetting system reads, weighs, and scores every opportunity it's shown — and most operators pay retail to do that, on someone else's hardware, at someone else's margin. Lower the cost per evaluation and the same budget covers more opportunities: a wider net, a harder filter, a sharper signal out the other end. This is the same discipline as the rest of the practice, applied one layer deeper.

Method

Compression, routing, self-hosting

Instruction compression, context shaped to be read in fewer tokens, live routing across models most operators never track, free-tier capacity mapped and used, and inference run on owned hardware where it makes sense. Named here; the specifics stay mine — that's the edge you'd be retaining.

Named as craft, not explained as method
Economics

Fixed cost, not metered

Self-hosted inference means the marginal cost of one more evaluation trends toward electricity, not a per-token bill that grows with your ambition. Scale stops being a tax.

Their cost is variable. Mine is fixed.
Delivery

One point of judgment, start to finish

The same person who engineers the inference builds what runs on top of it. No handoff, no committee, no translation loss between the two.

What's designed is what ships
Sovereignty

What you build stays exactly where you put it

Nothing rented, nothing borrowed, nothing another company's policy can quietly change underneath you. Your intelligence lives on hardware only you can reach. A separate, deeper practice for principals who need it — ask, if that's the concern.

Savings, and sovereignty

Give me one real slice of your vetting workflow. I'll run it two ways — your current cost, and mine — on your own numbers, and you decide from there.
