What Kleto delivers
Kleto is a product engineering agency. Technical strategy through production-ready software. Scoped engagements with clear handoff.
How I help
- Technical strategy. Architecture reviews, build-vs-buy decisions, and roadmap planning before you spend on build.
- Full-stack development. Production code across frontend, backend, APIs, and data.
- Design and UX. Functional interfaces aligned to business requirements. No bloat.
- Infrastructure and DevOps. CI/CD, serverless, static hosting, observability. Systems that run themselves.
- Link hubs. Branded single-page link products for profiles and campaigns. See james.qa.
- Rescue and refactor. Legacy cleanup, performance remediation, and delivery recovery for stalled products.
Who I work with
Founders and small teams that need senior engineering without a full-time hire. Operators who need software they can run after handoff.
Early-stage and bootstrapped teams welcome. Engagements are scoped to fixed deliverables.
How it works
- 1. Discovery. A short call or written brief to confirm scope, constraints, and timeline. No fee for the initial conversation.
- 2. Proposal. A fixed scope document: deliverables, schedule, and cost.
- 3. Delivery. Weekly status, working software at each milestone, full visibility into progress.
What people say
"James took our vague product idea and turned it into a working prototype in two weeks. He thinks like an engineer and communicates like a founder."
Founder, early-stage SaaS
"We brought him in to fix a legacy codebase that three agencies had touched. He untangled it, documented it, and handed it back better than new."
CTO, e-commerce startup
"Clear communication, clean code, on time. Exactly what we needed."
