ENGAGEMENT TYPES · 4

The four ways to work together.

One default, three options. Pick the one that fits; the inbox handles the rest.

ENGAGEMENT.01 PRIMARY
FULL-TIME

Senior product role

My default. A senior PM seat at a B2C product team that takes AI seriously and lets the person closest to the work make the call.

GOOD FIT IF
  • Consumer or prosumer product with real users.
  • AI-native team, or AI-curious and serious about getting there.
  • Trust devolved to ICs; metrics, not theatre.
PROBABLY NOT IF
  • × Pure B2B SaaS with no consumer surface.
  • × Stage-gated PRD culture; design-by-committee.
  • × Anything that requires relocation.

ENGAGEMENT.02 OPTION
FRACTIONAL

Fractional PM

A few days a week, embedded properly. Good for teams that need senior product muscle without a full-time hire yet.

GOOD FIT IF
  • Pre-Series-A → Series-B teams shipping consumer product.
  • Founders who want a thinking partner inside the cadence.
  • Two days a week minimum so I can actually own outcomes.
PROBABLY NOT IF
  • × One-day-a-week "advisor" engagements (use advisory below).
  • × Heavy ops-management roles; I’m a builder, not a chief of staff.
Commitment
2–3 days / week

ENGAGEMENT.03 OPTION
ADVISORY

Advisory & coaching

A monthly subscription to my brain for founders and product leads. Pre-reads, working sessions, async Slack.

GOOD FIT IF
  • You’re a solo founder or first PM and need a senior sounding board.
  • AI-shaped product calls; growth & monetisation strategy.
  • You want someone who’s actually shipped, not just consulted.
PROBABLY NOT IF
  • × You need execution capacity — book a fractional engagement instead.

ENGAGEMENT.04 OPTION
CONTRACT BUILD

Project-based build

A specific shipped artefact — an agentic system, a growth experiment programme, a paywall redesign. Fixed scope, fixed price, shipped to production.

GOOD FIT IF
  • You know what you need; you need it built and shipped.
  • Agentic AI internal tools (like the Drops agent).
  • Growth or monetisation diagnostics + an experiment programme.
PROBABLY NOT IF
  • × Open-ended exploration with no defined exit.
  • × White-label dev shop work — I’m a solo operator.

APPROACH · 2

How I actually work.

Two shapes, one outcome.

APPROACH.01 SHAPE.A

Building a project

If it's building a project, I start with understanding the scope, the requirements, and the problems you're solving. Strategise first, build second. In practice that means a week or two where I'm asking awkward questions, mapping the system around what you're shipping, and pressure-testing the architecture before a line of production code lands. The build itself is the easy part once that work's done. The thinking is what stops you shipping the wrong thing well.

APPROACH.02 SHAPE.B

Internal AI workflows & upskilling

If it's internal AI workflows or AI upskilling, I first work to understand the problems without giving any advice. That restraint matters: most engagements go sideways because someone turned up with a solution before they'd earned the right to have one. Once I've got a deep enough read on how the team actually works, I'll identify the top opportunities I think we should optimise for results, then work down that list in priority order, shipping as we go.

In both cases, I'm trying to land somewhere specific and shipped — not somewhere abstract and "advisory only".

STRENGTHS · 4

What I bring to the room.

STRENGTH.01 FIG.J

15 years shipping products

Developer to CTO to product. From Glenfiddich and Volkswagen UK to Bundesliga, Polkadot Tiger, Drops, and now my own. I’ve seen what makes products survive past launch.

STRENGTH.02 FIG.K

B2C monetisation at scale

Owned monetisation at Drops (50M+ learners, 50+ languages). Subscriptions, pricing, paywall design, lifecycle — the whole funnel, with the data to back the calls.

STRENGTH.03 FIG.L

Agentic workflows, daily

I run agentic AI as a core part of how I work. Claude Code, MCP servers, parallel agents, structured planning. StillMind and HabitCycles were both shipped this way: faster, with the quality bar held.

STRENGTH.04 FIG.M

Founder mindset

I’ve launched my own products to paying users. That changes how I read roadmaps, prioritise, and push back. I think like an owner because, on the side, I am one.

LOOKING FOR · 4

The kind of work that lights me up.

I'm looking for companies and problems where the end result genuinely makes someone's life better. There's a B2C preference: habit tracking, journaling, meditation, parenting, that kind of territory. But it can be B2B if the mission lands. A discovery platform helping indie founders build the lifestyle they want would motivate me just as much. The impact pulls me in, not the business model.

  • Senior product seats Full-time, fractional, or advisory. B2C ideally; consumer subscription a plus.
  • AI-native / AI-curious teams Building with AI, not bolting it on. Companies treating it as a craft, not a checkbox.
  • Mission-driven products Things that earn a place in someone’s life. Bonus if the team measures impact, not just revenue.
  • Remote-first, async-friendly Based in Budapest (CET). Open to occasional travel. 10 years remote — async is where I do my best work.

FAQ · 6

Questions I get asked, answered up front.

If yours isn't here, the inbox is open.

Where are you based?
Budapest, Hungary. Have been since 2016. CET timezone, English-speaking, working remote since day one.
Open to relocation?
Settled here with my family — two young kids — so relocation isn’t on the table. Happy to travel for offsites and key moments.
Full-time or contract?
Open to both. Full-time senior PM role is the default expectation from August 2026; fractional and advisory engagements are a fit if the work is right.
Open to equity-only?
For full-time roles, no. For specific advisory or build engagements, a partial-equity component is fine if the cash piece covers the work.
How quickly can you start?
Full-time: August 2026. Fractional / advisory / contract: selective intakes, talk to me about your timing.
What’s out of scope?
Pure B2B SaaS roles. White-label agency dev. Anything that requires relocation. Roles that don’t devolve decisions to the people closest to the work.
COMMUNITY Claude Code Budapest Co-organising Budapest's official Anthropic-partnered Claude Code meetup.
