I'm Tiago Martins Peres, an AI engineer in Peniche, Portugal. Some teams know what they want built and need someone to build it. Some have AI somewhere in the plan and no idea where it fits. Some are holding back because nobody has said what happens when it gets something wrong. I work on all of those, and on the ones that fit none of them. Mostly RAG, agents and LLM features.

Production AI, not slideware.
He takes solutions from prototype to production seamlessly.
A passionate, dedicated and detail-oriented engineer. His drive to produce quality rubbed off on the whole team and leadership alike.
Impressed by his work ethic and his ability to solve hard technical challenges.
Four fixed-scope engagements. Each one has its own page, with what it includes, what it costs, and how long it takes.
For non-technical founders. We fix the scope first so you build what matters, then I build a product real users can sign up to and pay for, with a working demo every week.
Scope · build · launchSee details and pricingAn assistant over your own content, a model wired into the system you already run, or a full AI product, with the retrieval, evals and monitoring that keep it honest.
Retrieval · agents · evalsSee details and pricingFind where AI actually pays inside your operation, automate the workflows that hurt most, and get a system your team uses rather than a demo that impresses once.
Audit · automate · deploySee details and pricingNo buzzwords, and no tool bought before the problem is understood. We start at the bottleneck, rebuild the workflow around it, and measure whether it moved.
Process · data · adoptionSee details and pricingA system you want AI inside, a risk you want weighed, a plan you're unsure of, or an idea nobody has built yet. If I can help, I'll say so, and exactly how.
Tell me about your buildNotes on building AI systems, and on what the work is worth. The four most recent.
When a pull request is raised, mine or one I have to review, I now ask the agent to run it on my machine, try to break it and film itself doing it. A paragraph can claim a test happened. A recording has to show it, and deciding what it means is still my job.
TypeSafe's Jev will not write a sentence. You hand it a state and typed questions, and it hands back a choice, a score or a yes/no probability, at four thousandths of a cent for a decision over a thousand tokens. The novelty is the shape, which puts authority back in your code, and the trap is that a probability looks like recourse and is not. I ran the pilot I would want before believing any number, on my own essays with the open model that stood in for Jev, and the answer was no.
AI is eating the exact work junior developers used to learn on, entry-level hiring is collapsing measurably, and every senior who can vet a machine's output was once a junior somebody paid to be wrong. On DHH hiring for 'how far could they go', the 2,200 people who applied, and why an industry that stops making seniors has misunderstood its own supply chain.
We live better than most kings who ever reigned, and the mood of the age is a low-grade sadness nobody can name. A fourth-century desert monk named it. An economist explained its mechanism in 1971. This is an essay about acedia (the sorrow that arrives precisely when the good does) and why an age of infinite abundance was always going to be its golden hour.
He combines deep technical expertise with a proactive and collaborative mindset… embracing Generative AI technologies and taking solutions from prototype to production seamlessly.
A passionate, dedicated and detail-oriented software engineer with a true passion for his work. His continual drive to produce quality product rubbed off on team members and leadership alike.
Detailed in both the design and implementation of software, from the user interface to the data and messaging layers. I'm impressed by his driven work ethic and ability to solve technical challenges.
An exceptional full-stack developer and an even better colleague. He consistently demonstrated deep technical expertise and a remarkable ability to simplify complex topics.
A great engineer who isn't afraid of a challenge. He can prototype, build, polish and figure things out on his own. And he's a great team player who can work with anyone.
He has an impressive mind: always available to help, and the one who thinks of the scenarios nobody else does. Always a step ahead.
The ones anyone asks. Questions about a particular piece of work are answered on its page.
Send a note below. I reply within one business day and we take a free 30-minute call. If the scope is clear, I send back a short plan with timeline and price. If it is still moving, the paid scoping call on any service page settles it, and comes off the project. No obligation either way.
Fixed price for well-scoped projects, or a weekly rate for ongoing work. I'll recommend whichever fits, and you'll always know the number before anything starts.
I take on a small number of builds at a time so each one gets real focus. Reach out and I'll tell you when I can start.
Yes. I'm based in Peniche, Portugal, and work fully remote with clients anywhere in the world, whatever their timezone.
Of course. Most of my work is under NDA, so I'm happy to sign yours before we get into specifics.
That's a big part of what I do. I'll review what's there, tell you what's salvageable, and get it moving to production.
You don't need to know which service it is, or whether AI is the right answer. If I can help, I'll say how, and what it would cost.
I read every message myself and reply within one business day. No sales pitch, just a straight conversation about your build.
